92%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 tight, well-structured procedural skill body: lean prose, a clearly sequenced procedure with built-in verification and honesty constraints, and an effective completion checklist. The single weakness is the absence of concrete pattern examples and a sample finding that would make the guidance copy-paste ready.
Suggestions
Add one or two concrete rg patterns for step 1/step 4 (e.g. `rg -n 'exec|spawn|system\(' --type py` and a token/secret regex) so the tool guidance is copy-paste ready.
Include a one-line example finding in the Findings format section (severity, file:line, reachable path, fix) so the required output shape is unambiguous.
Consider a brief example of the 'checked and clean' list format to anchor the honesty convention the scope statement relies on.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~64-line body is lean and imperative throughout with zero padding — it never explains concepts Claude already knows (no 'what is SQL injection' prose) and every line adds review-specific guidance. Matches the 'every token earns its place' anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete tool commands are given (`rg`, `git log -p`, `cargo audit`, `npm audit`, `osv-scanner`) and the findings format is precisely specified, but there are no example invocations (e.g. an `rg` pattern for token/key/secret) or a sample finding, so it falls short of the anchor-5 'specific examples cover the common cases'. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear sequence (scope → 7-step procedure → findings format → limits → completion criteria) with an explicit validation checkpoint (step 7: 'Trace the real call path or write a minimal proof'), a feedback loop ('If you cannot prove reachability, downgrade the claim'), and a completion checklist. The read-only review has no destructive operation, so the validation cap does not apply. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is fully self-contained with no bundle files and no external references, organized into clean sections (Scope, Procedure, Findings format, Recovery and limits, Completion criteria). Per the rubric's simple-skill guidance, well-organized sections with no need for external references warrant the top score. | 5 / 5 |
