cavecrew

When to delegate to `cavecrew-investigator` (locate code), `cavecrew-builder` (1-2 file edit) or `cavecrew-reviewer` (diff review) instead of working inline or using `Explore`. Their output is compressed, so main context lasts longer.

Quality

Content

88%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, highly actionable delegation guide with concrete output contracts, a clear decision table, and sequenced chaining patterns that include validation. Its only weaknesses are a slightly padded rationale section and no offloading of detail content into reference files as the skill grows.

Suggestions

Trim "Why this exists" to a single sentence (e.g., "Compressed tool results mean ~1/3 the main-context tokens per delegation") and fold the 2k-token/20-delegation example into the rule-of-thumb line.

Move the three output-contract templates into a references/output-contracts.md file, keeping one-line summaries in SKILL.md, so the contracts load only when a delegation is actually made.

Merge the overlapping rows of "What NOT to do" into the decision table's Use column to eliminate the duplicated guidance between the two sections.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The decision table and output contracts are dense and token-efficient, but "Why this exists (the real win)" re-explains subagent context mechanics with a quantified scenario that could be trimmed to one line. Matches the 4 anchor (efficient, minor over-explanation) rather than 5, where every token earns its place.

4 / 5

Actionability

Output contracts are literal copy-paste templates with terminal first-tokens, sort order, and grep-safe formats; the decision table covers common task shapes; chaining steps are concrete ("Spawn 2-3 investigator calls ... defs vs callers vs tests"). Fully actionable guidance for an instruction-only skill.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Chaining patterns are numbered and sequenced (locate → fix → verify), with explicit validation checkpoints (builder's "verified: re-read OK | mismatch @ path:line", reviewer audits the diff) and error-recovery signals ("too-big.", "regressed."). No destructive or batch operations, so no validation cap applies.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Sections are well-organized and navigable, but the ~70-line body exceeds the 50-line simple-skill exception and keeps everything inline with no content split. Matches the 4 anchor (good structure, most content appropriately placed) rather than 5, which requires appropriately split content with well-signaled references.

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description: it states all three concrete capabilities, the compressed-output differentiator, and an explicit when-to-use boundary against vanilla alternatives. The only gap is sparse synonym coverage of natural trigger phrasings users might say.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"locate code", "1-2 file edit", and "diff review" are three concrete, scoped actions that comprehensively cover all three agents the skill provides, plus the compressed-output benefit. Matches the 5 anchor (multiple specific concrete actions, comprehensive coverage); not 4 because no agent or capability is left uncovered.

5 / 5

Completeness

"When to delegate to ... instead of working inline or using `Explore`" explicitly answers when, and the parenthetical actions answer what. Both are explicit with concrete trigger phrases, matching the 5 anchor; not 4 because the when-clause is stated directly rather than merely implied.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural phrases like "locate code", "diff review", and "1-2 file edit" are present, but common user variations ("find/search", "where is X defined", "code review", "refactor") are absent. Better keyword coverage than the 3 anchor's bare domain mention, but not the comprehensive synonym coverage of 5.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It names unique agent presets and explicitly draws the boundary against `Explore` and inline work, giving it a clear niche with minimal conflict risk. Voice is impersonal (no first/second person), so no person penalty applies.
