100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is a tight, highly actionable style guide with a built-in self-check validation loop and clean section organization. It earns top marks on every dimension and sits below level 3 on none.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean and efficient with no padding about what GOV.UK is; every token earns its place via concrete before/after pairs like 'use, not utilise or leverage'. It is not level 2 because there is no unnecessary explanation to tighten. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Gives concrete, copy-ready guidance throughout — 'Write "We reviewed the data", not "The data was reviewed"' and 'write "4 June 2026" (no comma, no "th")' — which for an instruction-only skill matches fully actionable level-3 guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 'Before you finish: self-check' section is a clear checklist of validation checkpoints (Is the single most important thing first? Could a non-expert understand every sentence?) acting as a feedback loop, satisfying level-3 even for a single-purpose instruction skill. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is short and single-purpose with no bundle files, and content is organized into well-signaled sections (Content design principles, Plain English, Formatting, self-check); per the simple-skills scoring note this earns level-3 without external references. | 3 / 3 |
