85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is a highly actionable, well-sequenced workflow with concrete commands and validation checkpoints, organized cleanly into a single self-contained file. The only weakness is mild verbosity from redundant output templates and guardrails that restate the steps.
Suggestions
Collapse the three 'Output During/On Completion/On Pause' templates into a single compact format with conditional variants, or move them to a reference file, to reduce token cost.
Trim the Guardrails list to items not already stated in the numbered Steps to avoid repetition.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient procedural guidance that assumes Claude's competence, but the three prescriptive output templates and the Guardrails section (which restate the step instructions) could be tightened, matching 'mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation or could be tightened'. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | It gives fully executable commands (e.g., 'openspec status --change "<name>" --json', 'openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json'), concrete file-path handling, and a literal '- [ ] to - [x]' checkbox update, matching the 'fully executable, copy-paste ready' anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 7-step sequence with explicit state handling (blocked, all_done) and pause-on-error/blocker checkpoints provides the validation feedback loops the rubric rewards, matching the 'clear sequence with explicit validation steps' anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist and none are needed; the single SKILL.md is well-organized into Steps, Output, Guardrails, and Fluid Workflow sections, which the rubric allows to score 3 for skills with no need for external references. | 3 / 3 |
