71%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.
A well-structured retrieval skill body with a clear workflow, concrete routing table, and excellent progressive-disclosure file map. Its main weakness is redundancy across the Calibration Examples, Boundaries, and earlier guidance sections that inflates length without adding new guidance.
Suggestions
Trim or merge the Calibration Examples and Boundaries Do/Don't sections, which restate the tone and handoff guidance already given in Mission/Tone/Cross-Skill Handoff, to reduce token cost.
Add a one-line explicit validation checkpoint in the Retrieve step (e.g., 'confirm the cited file exists before answering') to strengthen workflow_clarity toward 5.
Collapse the Progressive Disclosure section's sequence into the Locate → Retrieve → Cite workflow to avoid restating the same navigation guidance twice.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient but carries redundant sections — the Calibration Examples and Boundaries Do/Don't restate the handoff and tone guidance from earlier sections — so it could be tightened, matching anchor 3; not 4 due to noticeable padding. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, specific guidance: a question-type-to-file routing table, exact citation-format examples, and a handoff phrasing template covering common cases, fitting anchor 4; not 5 because there are no fully copy-paste artifacts, which is appropriate for an instruction-only retrieval skill. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 'Locate → Retrieve → Cite' sequence with numbered ordered substeps and an explicit Source Priority ordering; checkpoints are implicit rather than explicit, matching anchor 4. Not a destructive/batch operation, so no validation cap applies. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Serves as a clear overview with a closing file-tree map and well-signaled one-level-deep references to paper/, recipes/, model-card.md, and context/, making navigation easy per anchor 5. | 5 / 5 |
