92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
An exemplary short one-shot display skill: exact copy-paste output, precise rendering rules, and a well-drawn honesty boundary preventing fabricated per-repo numbers. The only blemish is a small duplication between the intro and the Boundaries section.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Nearly lean — every line is data, a rendering rule, or a constraint, with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows. Minor redundancy: the one-shot prohibition stated in the intro ("do NOT change mode, write flag files, or persist anything") is restated under Boundaries ("One-shot display. Edits nothing, changes no mode."). The date/version mentions (2026-10-07, Opus 5.5) are benchmark provenance, not conditional date-based instructions, so they do not trigger the time-sensitivity penalty. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | The scoreboard ASCII block with exact figures is copy-paste ready, and the rendering rules are concrete ("bar length shows ponytail as a share of the no-skill baseline; the label carries the exact figure"). Guidance is fully executable for this instruction-only skill. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A simple, single-purpose skill under 50 lines whose single action ("Display this scoreboard when invoked") is unambiguous, reinforced by an explicit honesty guardrail. No destructive or batch operations, so the validation cap does not apply — the simple-skill exception yields 5. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is well under 50 lines with no need for external references, and content is organized into clear sections (Scoreboard, Honesty boundary, Boundaries). The `benchmarks/results/2026-10-07-agentic.md` mention is a data-source citation, not a reference file, so structure scores 5 under the no-bundle guideline. | 5 / 5 |
