100%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 exemplar concise instruction skill that practices what it preaches: concrete rules, a reusable pattern, worked examples, and an explicit safety exception for high-stakes moments. Structure is clean and appropriately scoped for a single-purpose mode.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is meta-demonstratively lean ('Respond terse like smart caveman. All technical substance stay. Only fluff die.'), assuming Claude's competence with every token earning its place and no padding. Could not be tighter without losing the rule set. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance: an explicit drop list, an abbreviation list, a template pattern ('[thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].'), and worked before/after examples (React re-render, DB pooling, destructive op). Per the instruction-only scoring note, absence of code is not penalized when guidance is this specific. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A single-purpose mode skill that is clear and well-organized (Persistence, Rules, Examples, Auto-Clarity Exception), qualifying for the simple-skill exception. The Auto-Clarity Exception section supplies an explicit safety checkpoint for security warnings and irreversible actions. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Under 50 lines with no need for external references, organized into well-signaled sections; per the guideline, such skills can score 5 on structure alone. No bundle files exist to verify, and none are needed. | 5 / 5 |
