17%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.
The body is generic boilerplate: a duplicated persona/purpose restatement, vacuous instruction bullets, and an index of 13 references to files that do not exist in the bundle. It provides no database-specific, executable guidance and functions as an empty shell rather than a usable skill.
Suggestions
Replace the generic instruction bullets with database-specific workflow steps, e.g. "For slow-query complaints: capture pg_stat_statements/EXPLAIN output, identify the top offenders, propose index or query changes, and re-run EXPLAIN to verify the plan improvement."
Ship the referenced bundle files (the 12 sub-skills modules and resources/implementation-playbook.md) or remove the links — currently every reference in the body is dead, so the skill has no content behind its index.
Delete the "## Purpose" section and the persona line, which restate the frontmatter description verbatim, and use the freed budget for a concrete quick-start procedure or example.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is short but padded: the frontmatter description is restated twice (the persona line "You are a database administrator specializing in..." and the near-verbatim "## Purpose" section), and the instruction bullets ("Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs", "Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes") are generic process filler Claude already knows. This matches anchor 2 (several unnecessary or padded sections) rather than anchor 3's "some unnecessary explanation", since the majority of the body carries no skill-specific information. | 2 / 5 |
Actionability | There is no concrete code, command, or database-specific guidance anywhere in the body — bullets like "Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes" only describe rather than instruct. The single concrete pointer ("open resources/implementation-playbook.md") targets a file that does not exist in the bundle. This is anchor 1: entirely vague, no executable guidance. | 1 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The instructions imply a rough sequence (clarify inputs → apply practices → validate outcomes → provide steps), matching anchor 2's "rough sequence present but many gaps". Validation is mentioned only as the generic word "validate outcomes" with no checkpoint, command, or error-recovery loop; per the rubric's feedback-loop note, database operations without validation cannot score above 3, and this content is well below that bar anyway. | 2 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The module index (12 numbered sub-skills links) is well-shaped navigation, but every referenced path — all 12 "./sub-skills/*.md" files and "resources/implementation-playbook.md" — is missing from the bundle, so the references resolve to nothing and the skill's actual content is unreachable. Scored against the actual (empty) bundle structure, this fits anchor 2: minimal effective structure with broken/buried references, short of anchor 1 only because the listing itself is organized and one level deep. | 2 / 5 |
