65%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 compact and well-organized, but it functions as a quality checklist rather than the promised template: it describes what a good skill contains without showing one. Adding a concrete SKILL.md template/example and a validation step would close the main gaps.
Suggestions
Include an actual SKILL.md template or worked example (frontmatter + body) since the skill bills itself as 'template + checklist' but ships only the checklist.
Add a validation step to the authoring checklist (e.g., verify the resulting SKILL.md meets the design goals or passes the checklist before finishing).
Either make the 'Design goals' bullets actionable guidance or fold them into the checklist so every section earns its tokens.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean with no padding and no explanations of general concepts, matching 'efficient; minor instances of over-explanation'; the 'Design goals' bullets are aspirational adjectives with no instructional payoff and could be trimmed or made actionable. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | The checklist gives some specific guidance ('at least 2 realistic user prompts', 'Include "Setup" steps') but the skill claims to be a 'template + checklist' while providing no template, example SKILL.md, or frontmatter example, matching 'some concrete guidance but incomplete; missing key details'. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The numbered authoring checklist provides a rough sequence (purpose → inputs/outputs → setup → examples → safety) but has no validation or verification checkpoint (nothing confirms the design goals are met), matching 'steps listed but validation gaps'. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, needs no external references (none exist in the bundle), and has well-organized sections, which the rubric's simple-skill exception scores as 5. | 5 / 5 |
