77%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 clearly sequenced, actionable workflow with concrete tool calls, retry limits, and worked examples, but it is padded with redundant restatements of the pivot signal and inline material that could be split into references. Trimming the repetition and offloading examples would improve token efficiency and structure.
Suggestions
Define the `unknown error` pivot signal once in Step 2 and reference it elsewhere, instead of restating it in the decision flow, Best Practices, and both examples.
Trim or drop the 'Best Practices' section, which largely restates the workflow steps, or fold its unique points (transparency, flagging uncertainty) into the relevant steps.
Move the two lengthy 'Example Applications' into a separate EXAMPLES.md reference and link to it, keeping SKILL.md as a lean overview.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The `unknown error` pivot signal is restated in Step 2, the decision flow, Best Practice #1, and both examples, and the "Best Practices" section largely restates the workflow steps. Not 1 because it does not explain basic concepts Claude already knows; not 3 because the redundancy could clearly be tightened. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Concrete tool calls ("Use search_web", "Use read_webpage"), explicit retry limits ("1-2 attempts"), specific failure signals, and worked example walkthroughs give copy-paste-ready guidance. Not 2 because the guidance is complete with specific details rather than pseudocode or missing key details. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 1-5 are clearly sequenced with an explicit pivot checkpoint (detect failure after 1-2 attempts) and error-recovery guidance, plus a decision-flow diagram. Not 2 because the checkpoints are explicit rather than implicit or missing. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Sections are well-organized, but the file is ~140 lines with no bundle files and inline content (two lengthy Example Applications, Best Practices) that could be split into references. Not 3 because nothing is offloaded to one-level-deep references; not 1 because it is well-structured rather than a monolithic wall. | 2 / 3 |
