ce-work

Execute a plan or concrete work prompt end-to-end. Use when implementing from a plan document, a spec path, or a clear build request; use ce-debug for open-ended bugs. Use when an outer orchestrator needs implementation and local verification only, without the shipping tail.

Quality

Content

71%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The content is a disciplined orchestration index: a clear phased workflow with explicit gates, concrete rules (forbidden bare git commit, exact blocked-result schema), and exemplary progressive disclosure into a verified, well-signaled one-level reference bundle. Its weakness is repetition — the read-fallback and read-timing rules are restated for each reference and could be consolidated into a single rule stated once.

Suggestions

State the read-fallback rule ("if a required reference cannot be read, stop before the action it governs and report the missing file") once in the Execution Workflow preamble instead of repeating it per phase, cutting roughly 6 redundant clauses.

Consolidate the per-reference read-timing meta-rules into the single bolded preamble paragraph and keep only the phase-specific pointer in each phase section.

Surface one or two of the most failure-prone validation details from the references (e.g., what "required verification evidence" minimally means) inline so the completion criteria are checkable without opening the referenced files.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body mostly avoids over-explanation and assumes competence, but the fallback clause "If it cannot be read, stop... report which file is missing" is repeated for nearly every reference (~6 times) and read-timing meta-rules are restated per reference, so it could be meaningfully tightened — matching the mostly-efficient-but-could-be-tightened anchor rather than the minor-trimming anchor at 4.

3 / 5

Actionability

As an instruction-only orchestration skill it gives concrete, executable directives: exact reference files to read at each phase, an absolute rule ("A bare `git commit` can absorb the user's pre-existing index, so it is forbidden"), and the exact fields of the blocked result (status, plan_path, run_id, changed_state, blockers, recovery_path). Minor gaps remain because the actual execution detail is deferred to references, fitting anchor 4 rather than fully copy-paste-ready anchor 5.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clearly sequenced workflow (Phase 0 triage -> Phase 1 workspace/engine/strategy -> Phase 2 execute -> Phase 3-4 shipping -> Return-to-Caller) with explicit checkpoints: the code-review completion gate with authorized skip states, verification evidence requirements, dirty-file collision handling, and blocked-state preservation on failed reads. It is not anchor 5 because several validation specifics (what checks pass, error-recovery loops) live in the referenced files rather than being explicit here.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a lean overview whose detail lives in a flat, one-level-deep bundle; every referenced path (input-triage.md, return-to-caller.md, workspace-setup.md, execution-engines.md, cross-model-execution.md, execution-strategy.md, implementation-loop.md, shipping-workflow.md) was verified to exist, and each is signaled with its read timing and the scope it governs. Cross-links between reference files are peer coordination within one flat directory, not nested content chains, matching the well-signaled one-level-deep anchor.

Description

78%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is well-constructed: third-person voice, explicit what and when clauses, concrete trigger phrases, and an explicit disambiguation against the sibling ce-debug skill. Its main limitation is that the capability statement stays high-level ("execute end-to-end") without enumerating the specific actions it performs.

Suggestions

Enumerate 2-3 concrete capabilities in the opening sentence (e.g., "derives tasks from a plan, implements each unit, runs local verification, and records evidence") to lift specificity above the 1-2-action level.

Add one or two natural trigger variations users would actually say, such as "implement this" or "build this feature", to broaden keyword coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and one or two concrete actions ("Execute a plan or concrete work prompt end-to-end", "implementing from a plan document, a spec path, or a clear build request") but does not enumerate several specific capabilities, matching the 1-2-concrete-actions anchor rather than the several-actions anchor at 4.

3 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ("Execute a plan or concrete work prompt end-to-end") and when with two concrete "Use when..." trigger clauses plus a redirect ("use ce-debug for open-ended bugs"), clearly matching the both-what-and-when-with-concrete-triggers anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

"plan document", "spec path", and "build request" are natural phrases users would say when needing this skill, giving good keyword coverage; a few common variations (e.g., "implement this feature", "code this") are missing, so it sits at anchor 4 rather than comprehensive coverage at 5.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It carves a clear niche and explicitly disambiguates its nearest sibling ("use ce-debug for open-ended bugs") and from shipping-only skills, but the broad phrase "a clear build request" leaves minor overlap risk with generic implementation skills, fitting anchor 4 rather than minimal-conflict anchor 5.
