92%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is lean, actionable, and well-sequenced with a clear process and an explicit user checkpoint. The main weakness is progressive disclosure: the skill points to several supporting files (LANGUAGE.md, INTERFACE-DESIGN.md, CONTEXT-FORMAT.md, ADR-FORMAT.md) that are not present in the bundle, so essential deferred content is unreachable.
Suggestions
Ship the referenced bundle files (LANGUAGE.md, INTERFACE-DESIGN.md) inside this skill's directory, or inline the essential definitions and principles they defer to so the skill is self-contained.
Verify the ../grill-with-docs/ cross-references (CONTEXT-FORMAT.md, ADR-FORMAT.md) resolve from where this skill is installed, or copy the needed format guidance locally.
If a referenced file is intentionally optional, mark it as such so missing files do not break the core workflow.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean and purposeful: the glossary defines the skill's bespoke vocabulary (seam, depth, leverage, locality) and deliberately redefines known terms ("Interface — everything a caller must know... Not just the type signature"), so every entry earns its place rather than re-explaining concepts Claude already knows. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Concrete, specific guidance throughout — "use the Agent tool with subagent_type=Explore", a fixed candidate format (Files/Problem/Solution/Benefits), the deletion test, and exact phrasing templates (e.g. "contradicts ADR-0007 — but worth reopening because…"); not a 2 because instructions are actionable rather than abstract. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 3-step sequence (Explore → Present candidates → Grilling loop) with an explicit user-decision checkpoint ("Do NOT propose interfaces yet. Ask the user: 'Which of these would you like to explore?'") and an adaptive grilling loop; the destructive/batch validation cap does not apply to this conversational skill. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | References are well-signaled and one-level-deep in structure (LANGUAGE.md, INTERFACE-DESIGN.md, ../grill-with-docs/CONTEXT-FORMAT.md, ADR-FORMAT.md), but none of these files actually exist in the bundle, so navigation breaks and deferred content ("Full definitions in LANGUAGE.md", "the full list") is inaccessible — not a 1 because the body is well-organized rather than a monolithic wall, and not a 3 because the referenced files are missing. | 2 / 3 |
