Decide whether a change warrants new tests and choose proportionate verification. Use before adding tests, when planning validation, or when reviewing whether a proposed test protects meaningful behavior.

Quality

Content

86%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.

An efficient, well-organized decision skill that gives concrete prioritization and skip guidance plus a clear gating rule. The main improvement opportunity is adding a brief worked example to make the decision more tangible.

Suggestions

Add a short worked example showing the decision applied to one realistic change (e.g., a refactor vs. a new persisted-state path) to lift actionability toward fully concrete coverage.

Consider a one-line checkpoint framing (e.g., 'State the failure mode out loud; if you cannot name it, skip the test') to make the existing gate read more explicitly as a validation step.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~7-line body is lean, assumes Claude's competence, and never restates concepts Claude already knows; every token earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Concrete, actionable guidance is given via explicit prioritize/skip lists and a clear gating rule, but no worked examples illustrate the decision on a realistic change, leaving a minor gap.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear single-step decision flow with an explicit gate ("If that case is weak, do not add one") is present, but it is a gating criterion rather than a multi-step workflow with feedback loops.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines with no need for external references and well-organized sections (heading, prioritization/skip lists, gating paragraph), meeting the simple-skill exception for a top score.

Description

82%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.

A concise, well-structured description that clearly states both capability and usage triggers in an appropriately distinctive niche. It is strongest on completeness and distinctiveness and slightly less specific on the breadth of concrete actions.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

It names the domain and two concrete actions — "Decide whether a change warrants new tests" and "choose proportionate verification" — but these are decision-level actions without broader, more specific coverage, matching the 1-2 concrete actions anchor.

3 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers what ("Decide whether a change warrants new tests and choose proportionate verification") and when ("Use before adding tests, when planning validation, or when reviewing...") with concrete trigger phrases, satisfying the top anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural trigger phrases like "before adding tests", "planning validation", and "reviewing whether a proposed test protects meaningful behavior" give good keyword coverage, though a few common synonyms (e.g., "unit test", "coverage") are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The testing-decision niche is clearly scoped with distinct triggers and minimal overlap risk against other skills.
