65%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 lean, well-structured, and clearly sequenced, but its guidance stays at a high level — no spec template, example question, or concrete validation step — which limits actionability and workflow clarity. Adding a minimal spec skeleton and a concrete validation/feedback loop would resolve the two weakest dimensions.
Suggestions
Include a minimal spec document template (section headings) inline so Claude knows exactly what to populate in .agents/specs/<spec-name>.md.
Show one concrete ask_question example (e.g. a sample decision question with options and rationale) to make the 'one question at a time' rule executable.
Define the sign-off validation as a concrete, runnable check with a validate→fix→retry loop (e.g. 're-read spec for unanswered questions; if any remain, ask another question before sign-off') rather than a vague 'empirical or architectural check'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~25-line body is lean and does not explain concepts Claude already knows; only the opening sentence ("This skill governs the interactive process of crafting technical specifications...") lightly duplicates the frontmatter, a minor trim opportunity that keeps it just below a 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | It names a concrete path (".agents/specs/<spec-name>.md") and tool ("ask_question"), but offers no spec template, example question, or example ask_question call, leaving key execution details missing as expected for an instruction skill. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The ASCII flow ([Identify Goal] ──> ... ──> [Sign-off]) gives a clear sequence and a validation/sign-off gate, but the validation is vague ("an empirical check or architectural alignment check") with no concrete checkpoint or validate→fix→retry feedback loop. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | At under 50 lines with no bundle files and no need for external references, the well-organized sections (Core Principles, Spec Workflow Steps) meet the simple-skill exception for a top score. | 5 / 5 |
