72%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 concise, well-organized overview that respects the token budget, but its guidance stops one level short of executable: the spec format, the shape of a question interaction, and the validation gate are all named but never concretized. Adding a spec template, one example interaction, and a validation checklist would raise actionability and workflow clarity.
Suggestions
Add a minimal spec document template (section headings) so the draft's structure is executable rather than invented each run.
Show one example interaction — a question with recommended default and rationale in the ask_question/markdown menu format — to make 'Structured Options' concrete.
Specify the validation gate: what the 'architectural alignment check' concretely verifies (a short checklist) and what to do when it fails before sign-off.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~30-line body is lean with zero padding: no concept explanations Claude already knows, and every line ('Maintain a live document in .agents/specs/<spec-name>.md', 'Ask precisely one question per interaction') instructs rather than describes. Nothing to trim. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete details exist (the spec file path, the ask_question tool, recommended-default options with rationale), but key execution details are missing: no spec template or section structure, no example of a well-formed question with options, and 'empirical check or architectural alignment check' is never specified. This is incomplete rather than mostly-executable guidance. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The ASCII diagram gives a clear linear sequence and a validation gate is named in Core Principle 4, but the checkpoint is vague ('run an empirical check or architectural alignment check') with no error-recovery loop or explicit gate in the workflow steps. Sequence present, checkpoints implicit. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, needs no external references, and is organized into clean sections ('Core Principles', 'Spec Workflow Steps'). Per the simple-skill guideline, this earns a 5 with well-organized sections alone. | 5 / 5 |
