88%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.
The content is a tight, example-driven reference for the cron tool: concrete calls for every action, an explicit user-phrase-to-parameter mapping, and clearly stated edge-case semantics (timezones, updates, disabled jobs, system-managed tasks). Its only weaknesses are minor — slight verbosity in a few sentences and an 80-line body that marginally exceeds the simple-skill threshold.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense with operative, tool-specific facts (parameter semantics, retention limits, update rules) and never explains concepts Claude already knows. Minor tightening is possible — e.g. 'This reads execution records, not task output or delivery receipts' and some repetition of disable/list semantics across sections. Matches 'efficient; minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed'; not 5 because a handful of sentences restate or hedge beyond what is needed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Every section gives copy-paste-ready tool calls with concrete parameters — add (recurring, one-time, cron_expr with tz), list, remove, disable/enable, update, history — and the Time Expressions table maps exact user phrasings to parameter values. The only placeholder, at="<ISO datetime>", is inherently time-dependent and is accompanied by the instruction to compute it from current time; matches 'fully executable; specific examples cover the common cases'. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | This is a single-action tool skill with no multi-step or destructive workflow, so the simple-skill exception applies: each action (add, update, disable/enable, history) is unambiguous, and the decision branches (cron vs HEARTBEAT, when to preserve recipients, when to use the message tool) are stated explicitly with examples. Not 4 because no checkpoint is missing — the risky operations (disabling, updating) each have their behavioral consequences spelled out. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are absent) and nothing is referenced from the body, so there is no nesting or buried-reference problem; sections (Task Types, Examples, Time Expressions, Timezone, Update, Run History) are clearly headed and easy to navigate. Matches 'good structure; most content appropriately placed; minor organization gaps'; not 5 because the body runs ~80 lines, above the rubric's under-50-line simple-skill threshold for a no-references perfect score, and some detail (e.g. Run History limits and semantics) could live in a reference file. | 4 / 5 |
