86%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 a model of token-efficient instruction writing: a concrete tool-routing table, a sequenced workflow with validation and authorization gates, and explicit boundaries. Its main weakness is that the workflow and gates describe what to do in the abstract, without a single concrete invocation example or explicit error-recovery loop to anchor execution.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and efficient: a routing table, a five-step workflow, and terse gate/boundary/delivery sections with zero concept explanation or padding. It assumes Claude's competence and every token earns its place, matching the top anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | The tool-routing table gives exact tool ids (mcp_search, mcp_describe, mcp_call, mcp_read_only_call) with concrete per-tool use cases, and the workflow prescribes specifics like minimum arguments and privilege. It falls short of 5 because no concrete call example or argument shape is shown, and some steps ("Discover candidates instead of guessing an id") remain directive rather than executable. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The five steps are clearly sequenced and validation is present ("Validate the returned data at the next system boundary", read-back gates for mutations, authorization confirmation for external effects). It is below 5 because the checkpoints are abstract — no concrete validation commands or error-recovery loop (fix and re-validate) is spelled out — matching the anchor for clear sequence with most checkpoints but minor validation gaps. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, has no bundle files, and needs no external references; its well-organized sections (Purpose, Tool routing, Workflow, Completion gates, Boundaries, Delivery) satisfy the simple-skill exception, which allows a 5 with just well-organized sections. | 5 / 5 |
