86%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 instruction skill that directs Claude to the right pdf.* tool per situation and embeds feedback loops for search/continuation/rendering failures. Pulling the validation checkpoints inline into the workflow steps and adding a couple of literal tool-call syntax examples would push it higher.
Suggestions
Inline a brief validation checkpoint into the Workflow steps (e.g., after pdf.search, confirm the hit is not no_match/broad_match before proceeding) rather than only stating it in Rules.
Add one or two literal tool-call syntax examples (e.g. `pdf.read(path, pages=[12,13])`) so guidance is copy-paste ready rather than referential.
Make the text-vs-visual distinction explicit inside the report-generation guidance as a concrete checkpoint, not just a standalone rule.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean ~35-line body that assumes Claude's competence; no padding, no explanation of what a PDF is, and every rule earns its place. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete tool names and parameters (pdf.search, pdf.read, pdf.render_pages, continuation_calls, suggested_batches, dpi) with specific when-to-use guidance, but no literal copy-paste command syntax; minor gaps for an instruction-only skill. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly sequenced 5-step Workflow with feedback handling (no_match/broad_match, continuation_calls, unreadable→higher dpi), but the explicit validation checkpoints live in the Rules section rather than inline in the workflow steps. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Under 50 lines with no need for external references and no bundle files present; well-organized Workflow, Rules, and Common Patterns sections satisfy the simple-skill exception. | 5 / 5 |
