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.
The body is a lean, highly actionable overview with a validated workflow and excellent internal navigation signaling. Its one real defect is that the entire progressive-disclosure layer is notional: every reference file it points to is absent from the delivered bundle, breaking the intended one-level-deep structure.
Suggestions
Ship the referenced files with the skill: create references/blocks-and-parameters.md, json-blueprints.md, execute-idioms.md, factory-initialized.md, parameterized-intentions.md, surround-and-child-filter.md, and common-failures.md, or remove/inline the ones that will not be provided.
Inline a minimal IntentionDeclaration JSON blueprint in SKILL.md so the most common path (inserting a root via mps_mcp_insert_root_node_from_json) is executable even before any reference file is opened.
For the Related Skills entries that restate reference-file contents (e.g. the mps-model-manipulation entry pointing at references/property-and-mutation-ops.md), verify those paths resolve in their respective skill roots and keep only working pointers.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Dense and lean throughout: domain-specific directives (`:eq:` vs `==`, `n as C` casts, the `jetbrains.mps.lang.actions` used-language requirement, EDT/write-action warning, cheap descriptionFunction), a compact implicit-parameter table, and a well-organized reference index. Every token carries MPS-specific value Claude would not already know; nothing is padded. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete MCP tool names with parameters (`mps_mcp_insert_root_node_from_json`, `mps_mcp_create_model` with `moduleName`/`modelName` details, `mps_mcp_check_root_node_problems`) and exact syntax rules make most guidance executable. However, the full JSON blueprints and verbatim examples are delegated to reference files, so the body alone is not copy-paste complete for the primary use case. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 6-step numbered workflow has explicit validation and feedback loops: 'Validate (`mps_mcp_check_root_node_problems`), rebuild the language, exercise via Alt+Enter', plus a headless verification path (`mps_mcp_list_node_intentions` then `mps_mcp_apply_intention`) and a dedicated failure-diagnosis reference. Sequence, checkpoints, and error-recovery pointers are all present. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The in-body organization is excellent — a 'Start here' common-case index, per-file open-when triggers, and one-level-deep links. But no `references/` directory exists in the bundle: all seven referenced files (blocks-and-parameters.md, json-blueprints.md, execute-idioms.md, factory-initialized.md, parameterized-intentions.md, surround-and-child-filter.md, common-failures.md) are dangling, so the carefully signaled navigation structure cannot actually be followed. | 3 / 5 |
