85%Weight 40%Scale 1-3Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is well-structured and actionable with strong workflow sequencing and validation feedback loops, and it uses one-level-deep references that all resolve to real files. The main weakness is redundancy between the workflow phases and the later Generation Rules / Reference Files Index sections.
Suggestions
Consolidate the standalone "Generation Rules" section into the Create Mode phases (or convert it to a pure pointer table) to remove the duplication of frontmatter, body, and pattern rules.
Replace the prose "Reference Files Index" table with inline links at first mention so each reference is signaled once rather than described twice.
Trim repeated file-rule restatements (e.g. "No XML tags anywhere" appears in both Phase 3 and File Rules) to a single canonical location.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is imperative and largely lean, but the later "Generation Rules" and "Reference Files Index" sections restate content already covered in the Create/Edit Mode phases (frontmatter rules, body rules, pattern list, file paths), so it could be tightened — matching the score-2 anchor of mostly-efficient-but-with-redundancy rather than the every-token-earns-its-place score 3. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Guidance is concrete and executable: "mkdir -p {scope}/{name}/references", specific frontmatter constraints, "If X fails, do Y" error clauses, and a 3-should/2-should-not test-prompt recipe; per the scoring notes, an instruction-only skill with actionable guidance scores 3 even without code. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Both modes are numbered into phases with explicit validation checkpoints ("Run through every item in references/checklist.md — report pass/fail") and feedback loops (re-run the checklist after changes, confirm previously failing items pass), matching the score-3 anchor for clear sequences with validation and error-recovery loops. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | A clear overview (two modes) precedes detailed phases, a quick-reference section, and a Reference Files Index table; all four referenced files (checklist.md, description-guide.md, frontmatter-spec.md, patterns.md) exist under references/ and are one level deep with signaled navigation, matching the score-3 anchor. | 3 / 3 |
