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.
An exemplary lean, well-structured instruction skill with a clear sequence and an explicit validation checklist — no padding anywhere. The single notable gap is that it tells Claude to provide a starter template and checklist without including a concrete example of either.
Suggestions
Include the actual minimal SKILL.md starter template inline (frontmatter with name/description plus a skeleton body) so step 3 is copy-paste ready instead of leaving the template to be invented.
Add a one-line example of a good vs. bad frontmatter description pair to make the validation checklist in step 5 concrete when judging 'clear trigger description'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~25-line body contains zero padding and no explanations of concepts Claude already knows; it directs Claude to explain structure to the user rather than re-teaching basics itself. Every line is an instruction, matching the 'lean and efficient; every token earns its place' anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | The guidance is concrete and enumerable (required files, required frontmatter fields, the three intake questions, and a specific four-item checklist), fitting 'mostly executable guidance with minor gaps'. It is not a 5 because step 3 says "Provide a minimal starter template" without supplying one — the key artifact must be invented rather than copied. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear numbered 5-step sequence culminates in an explicit validation checklist ("tested with at least one real prompt"). This is a simple, non-destructive skill, so the simple-skill exception applies and the unambiguous sequence with an explicit validation step matches the top anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines with no need for external references, and the numbered sections are well organized. Per the rubric's simple-skill note, well-organized sections alone merit the top score here. | 5 / 5 |
