70%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 body delivers a highly actionable, well-sequenced skill-creation workflow with explicit validation and error-recovery checkpoints, but it is longer than its own conciseness advice warrants and references two files missing from the bundle, which undercuts its otherwise good progressive-disclosure structure.
Suggestions
Fix the bundle mismatch: either add references/workflows.md and references/output-patterns.md or remove the pointers in the 'Learn Proven Design Patterns' section so navigation never dead-ends.
Consolidate the duplicated progressive-disclosure guidance (the three-level system explanation vs. the Patterns subsections) and trim conceptual filler like the narrow-bridge/open-field analogy and the repeated keep-lean bullets.
Document scripts/quick_validate.py in the body (e.g., as a pre-packaging check) or remove it from the bundle so every bundled file is discoverable.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~370-line body is mostly efficient but repeats its progressive-disclosure guidance in both the 'Progressive Disclosure Design Principle' section and the 'Patterns' subsections, restates keep-SKILL.md-lean advice across multiple bullets, and includes conceptual padding such as the narrow-bridge/open-field analogy. It could be tightened without losing clarity, matching the 'mostly efficient but some unnecessary explanation' anchor. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, ready-to-run commands with flags and usage examples ('scripts/init_skill.py <skill-name> --path <output-directory> [--resources scripts,references,assets] [--examples]', 'scripts/package_skill.py <path/to/skill-folder> ./dist') plus sample user questions, worked planning examples (pdf-editor, frontend-webapp-builder, big-query), and a model description. Minor gaps: no interpreter invocation shown, and scripts/quick_validate.py is never documented in the body. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The six-step creation process is clearly sequenced with explicit per-step skip conditions ('Skip this step only when...'), validation is built in (the packaging script 'automatically validates the skill first'), and an explicit feedback loop is given ('If validation fails, the script will report the errors and exit without creating a package. Fix any validation errors and run the packaging command again'), with added scripts required to be tested by running them. This matches the clear-sequence-with-explicit-validation-and-recovery anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is well-sectioned and its split-by-domain/variant guidance is sound, but it directs the agent to 'references/workflows.md' and 'references/output-patterns.md', which do not exist in the actual bundle (only scripts/ is present), while the bundled scripts/quick_validate.py is never referenced. Scored against the actual bundle structure, broken navigation and unreferenced files are more than the 'minor organization gaps' of anchor 4, but the body's own structure and one-level-deep reference discipline keep it above anchor 2. | 3 / 5 |
