61%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 content is concise, competent, and appropriately delegates detail to a sibling skill, with sound validation guardrails (recovery checkpoints, do-not-fabricate, do-not-trust-passing-build). Its main weakness is that the workflow is presented as prose rather than an explicit sequenced checklist, and concrete execution detail is delegated rather than included.
Suggestions
Convert the implicit workflow into a short numbered sequence (read docs → set acceptance criteria → preserve work & record checkpoint → implement slice → run checks → update MEMORY.md → report) so the order and checkpoints are explicit.
Make the report section a concrete template with the five categories as bullet points or a fill-in structure rather than a prose sentence.
Clarify what 'an approved new-project slice' means in one phrase (e.g. scope, size) so the actionability gap between 'establish acceptance criteria' and 'implement' is narrower.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence (e.g. 'doctor is setup validation only', 'Do not treat a passing build as proof of working behavior'), with only minor phrases that could be trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | It gives concrete process guidance (named files to read, a report template of Changed/Checked/Not checked/Next decision/Recovery) but delegates actual execution to other files and offers no commands or code, leaving key execution details implicit. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | An implicit read-then-implement-then-check-then-report sequence exists with real checkpoints (recovery checkpoint before risky changes, run checks), but steps are prose rather than enumerated and the actual journey is offloaded to vibe-verify, leaving the flow implicit. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a sub-50-line single-purpose skill the body is well organized and points one level deep to a clearly signaled sibling ('Use ../vibe-verify/SKILL.md for the actual journey'), with no bundle files needed; minor sectioning gaps keep it just below 5. | 4 / 5 |
