64%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A concise, well-structured code review skill that effectively uses severity labels, anti-patterns, and rationalization prevention to guide behavior. Its main weaknesses are the lack of a concrete worked example showing a complete review cycle and the absence of an explicit step-by-step workflow with validation checkpoints. The referenced bundle files are missing, which limits the progressive disclosure score.
Suggestions
Add a concrete worked example showing a sample code diff and the expected review output using the defined format template, to boost actionability.
Define an explicit step-by-step review workflow (e.g., 1. Read full diff → 2. Apply checklist → 3. Format findings → 4. Verify each finding has evidence → 5. Output) with a validation checkpoint before finalizing.
Provide the referenced bundle files (references/checklist.md and references/output-format.md) or inline their key content to ensure progressive disclosure actually works.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every line earns its place. No unnecessary explanations of what code review is or how it works. Assumes Claude's competence as a principal engineer and focuses on behavioral constraints and output format. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | The output format template and severity labels are concrete, and the checklist is actionable. However, there are no real code examples showing a review in action (e.g., a sample diff with a sample review output), and the 'Fix' line in the template is described abstractly rather than demonstrated with a concrete example. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The checklist provides a clear sequence of what to check, and the red flags/rationalization prevention sections add useful guardrails. However, there's no explicit multi-step workflow for conducting a review (e.g., 1. Read diff, 2. Run checklist, 3. Format findings, 4. Verify evidence for each finding), and no validation checkpoint to confirm all checklist items were addressed before finalizing output. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | References to checklist.md and output-format.md are well-signaled and one level deep, which is good structure. However, no bundle files were provided, so the references point to non-existent files, undermining the actual progressive disclosure. The main content is well-organized with clear sections. | 2 / 3 |
