72%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The skill body is admirably concise and well-organized for a simple instruction-only skill, but its workflow steps are abstract and lack the concrete tools or verification checkpoints that would make them fully actionable.
Suggestions
Add concrete, actionable detail to the workflow steps — e.g., name specific signals to look for when judging a 'primary source' and how to format citations.
Include a lightweight verification checkpoint, such as confirming web tools are available before proceeding or noting a fallback behavior when a source cannot be verified.
Give one short concrete example (e.g., a release-notes lookup with a pinned version and date) to turn abstract directives into executable guidance.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence — short directive lines like 'Prefer primary sources' and 'Note dates and version pins' with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | The steps are recognizable directives but largely abstract ('Synthesize; separate fact from inference') with no concrete commands, tools, or worked examples, so guidance is incomplete. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are listed in a clear 1-4 sequence, but there are no validation checkpoints or feedback loops (e.g., how to confirm a source is primary or handle an unavailable tool), leaving checkpoints implicit. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | This is a simple skill under 50 lines with no need for external references; its sections (When to use, Non-goals, Workflow) are well-organized, so it qualifies for the score-3 simple-skill exception. | 3 / 3 |
