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 strong, expert-calibrated body: concrete MCP tool invocations, a validated 8-step workflow with real feedback loops, and non-obvious gotchas throughout. The two deductions are step-1 verbosity and — more significantly — a Reference Index whose referenced files are absent from the bundle as provided, leaving the carefully built navigation unresolvable.
Suggestions
Ship the references/ bundle alongside SKILL.md: none of the 18+ cited files (references/macro-catalog.md, references/rule-consequences.md, references/common-failures.md, etc.) exist in the package, so the Reference Index dead-ends — verify every referenced path resolves in the skill root.
Reduce cross-skill reference indirection: pointers like references/runtime-solutions.md 'in the mps-aspect-accessories skill root' and references/dot-expression-basics.md in mps-model-manipulation add a second hop; inline the one or two key facts (e.g. the stable-vs-variable split) or maintain a single cross-skill index instead.
Trim step 1 of the common-path workflow: the nested parentheticals about startingPoint resolution (name-vs-reference ambiguity, generators-array emission) could become a single gotcha bullet or move to references/module-structure.md, tightening the most common entry path.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and expert-aimed — it assumes MPS knowledge with zero padding about what MPS or a generator is, and every directive carries non-obvious gotcha value (e.g. "applicableConcept must be a structure-model node ref ... never the c:<langUUID>/<conceptId> form"). However, step 1's nested parenthetical digressions on startingPoint resolution and the meta companion-loading policy section are more than trivially trimmable, keeping it below the lean anchor-5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides copy-paste-ready commands with exact parameter forms: "mps_mcp_get_project_structure(moduleKind=\"Language\")", "mps_mcp_create_module(type=\"generator\", parentLanguage=\"<lang>\")", the exact ref syntax "r:<modelUUID>(<lang>.structure)/<nodeId>", a worked output-path example, and named validation/reading tools with argument-level guidance. For an instruction-only skill, guidance is fully executable and covers the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 8-step common-path workflow has explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops: step 7 validates with mps_mcp_check_root_node_problems (including the onlyNodesWithProblems=false re-run when siblings look missing), step 8 MAKEs then reads generated text with a staleness re-MAKE warning, and the Generator Tracer / $TRACE$ bisection gives error-recovery guidance. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The Reference Index is well designed — one level deep, per-entry 'read when' conditions, and a 'start here — most common case' entry point — but scored against the actual bundle, none of the 18+ referenced files (references/macro-catalog.md, references/common-failures.md, etc.) exist in the package, so every navigation pointer dead-ends; several pointers additionally route through companion-skill roots (references/runtime-solutions.md 'in the mps-aspect-accessories skill root', references/dot-expression-basics.md in mps-model-manipulation), adding a second hop. Absent references are more than anchor 4's 'minor organization gaps', though the in-body structure is far better organized than anchors 1-2. | 3 / 5 |
