77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A thorough, actionable skill with strong workflow structure, but it is over-long for the body: redundant sections and inline philosophy that already has a reference file inflate the token budget, and the missing templates/ bundle leaves dangling references.
Suggestions
Merge the two citation sections into the single canonical 'references/citation-workflow.md' reference and keep only a short pointer plus the golden rule in the body to remove the duplication.
Consolidate the three proactivity/draft-first passages ('Core Philosophy', 'Balancing Proactivity and Collaboration', Workflow 0 Step 5) into one concise section.
Either ship the templates/ bundle or remove the templates/ links and the 'LaTeX Templates' quick-reference tables that depend on them, so no referenced path is broken.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly high-signal domain guidance, but the body is verbose at ~1100 lines: the citation-hallucination rule is restated in two full sections ('Never Hallucinate Citations' and 'Citation Workflow (Hallucination Prevention)'), and the 'be proactive / draft first' theme recurs across 'Core Philosophy', 'Balancing Proactivity and Collaboration', and Workflow 0 Step 5. It also explains reviewer behavior and double-blind review that Claude largely already knows. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides copy-paste-ready bash (find/grep/latexmk), LaTeX snippets, arXiv URL patterns, booktabs table templates, and concrete rules like the 5-sentence abstract formula and the do/don't citation matrix. Guidance is specific and executable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Multiple numbered workflows (0-5) with checkbox progress trackers, and the citation workflow has an explicit verify-or-mark-placeholder feedback loop ('If any step fails -> mark as placeholder and report it explicitly'). | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The references/ files are real and clearly signaled via tables and links one level deep, but the body repeatedly points to a templates/ directory (templates/neurips2025/, templates/README.md) that does not exist in the bundle, and large chunks of writing philosophy are inlined despite a dedicated references/writing-guide.md. | 2 / 3 |
