71%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.
This is a strong, tightly written operational skill: every step carries non-obvious, hard-won gotchas (headless key generation, CLI quoting traps, silent sign-out bugs) and ends with explicit verification. The main costs are a Rules section that substantially duplicates the Workflow and the absence of a template for auth.config.ts, the very file flagged as the top footgun.
Suggestions
Deduplicate the Rules section against the Workflow — rules that merely restate steps 1-6 could be cut or reduced to the two or three true invariants (headless keys, always write auth.config.ts, verify sign-in), reclaiming ~10 lines.
Add a minimal executable auth.config.ts template in step 4, since it is called the '#1 real-world auth footgun' yet its correct content is never shown.
Give step 6 one concrete verification action (e.g. the exact query/command or UI check for the sign-in round-trip) so the validation checkpoint is as executable as the rest of the workflow.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The workflow steps are dense and every gotcha earns its place (pnpm/jose hoisting, the leading-dash CLI parsing trap, the headless wizard hang), but the entire Rules section restates the Workflow nearly verbatim (jose key format, wizard warning, auth.config.ts, shadcn, passkeys default, verify sign-in), so the body could be meaningfully tightened. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is mostly fully executable — a copy-paste node/jose one-liner, exact `env set` forms with the quoting pitfall, the MCP envSet tool, and `npx shadcn@latest add <name>` — but step 4 gives no auth.config.ts template despite calling it the #1 footgun, and the client wiring in step 5 has no code, keeping it below copy-paste-ready. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear numbered 1-6 sequence with an explicit validation checkpoint ('Verify a sign-in round-trips before declaring done') and precise failure warnings per step; it falls short of the top anchor only because the verify step lacks error-recovery/feedback-loop detail. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is under 50 lines, self-contained with no need for external references (no references/, scripts/, or assets/ exist and none are cited), and cleanly organized into Workflow and Rules sections, which merits the top score under the simple-skill guideline. | 5 / 5 |
