85%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.
A well-structured, actionable instruction skill with a clear multi-step workflow, validation feedback loops, and properly split one-level-deep references. Minor conciseness trimming and a worked before/after example would lift the lower dimensions.
Suggestions
Trim the Overview section, which restates the frontmatter description, and tighten the section-convention summary that edges toward common knowledge to improve conciseness.
Add one short worked before/after polishing example showing the light-touch edit in action to raise actionability from concrete-but-instructed to fully demonstrated.
Consolidate the routing-to-other-skills notes (currently scattered across 'When NOT to use', 'One polishing pass', and 'When the problem is deeper than language') into a single decision point to reduce repetition.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Largely efficient, domain-specific guidance that assumes Claude's competence (verb ladders, overclaim wordlists, Chinese-English residue fixes), but the Overview restates the description and a few section-convention remarks edge toward common knowledge. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Highly concrete instruction-only guidance — named overclaim words, a verb ladder mapped to evidence strength, specific residue rewrites ('carry out research on becomes study'), and a defined delivery format — though no worked before/after polishing example is shown. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 'One polishing pass' sequence has explicit checkpoints and routing (structural problems to paper-writer, claim concerns to pre-submission-reviewer) plus a validation feedback loop — the sentence-by-sentence meaning self-check with author flagging. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A clear overview signals three one-level-deep references (section-conventions.md, academic-phrasebank.md, ai-tone-guardrails.md), all confirmed to exist, with detailed conventions/phrasebanks/checklists appropriately split out of the main body. | 5 / 5 |
