82%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.
This is a disciplined, lean instruction-only skill: a clearly sequenced five-phase workflow with explicit validation and hand-off, concrete path/command specifics where they matter, and deliberate delegation of volatile conventions to shared guidance instead of duplicating them. The residual gaps are minor — the validation feedback loop is implicit rather than spelled out, and the two shared-contract references point outside the bundle where their existence cannot be confirmed.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is ~65 lines of dense procedural instruction with zero filler: no concept explanations Claude already knows (e.g., what a PR or changelog is), no restated library basics, and every sentence issues a directive like "Read each complete source page before editing. Update the narrowest page that owns the behavior." This matches 'lean and efficient; assumes Claude's competence; every token earns its place'; a 4 would require over-explanation worth trimming, and none is evident. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete elements are present — "change only `docs/**`, `fern/docs.yml`, and `fern/assets/**`", "Required PR checks run `npm run docs`", the six-step impact checklist, and explicit prohibitions ("Do not infer a command, default, path, or support claim from historical documentation"). It falls short of the fully-executable 5 anchor because most operational specifics (checks, conventions, skip-file policies) are deliberately deferred to external guidance rather than given as runnable commands, which is a minor gap rather than the missing-key-details of anchor 3. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Five clearly sequenced phases (Establish the range → Load current authority → Find documentation impact → Update the owning content → Validate and hand off) each with concrete sub-steps, and validation is an explicit final phase with a summary-of-evidence requirement. It does not reach anchor 5 because there is no explicit validate→fix→retry feedback loop and the validation command itself is deferred ("run the current documentation checks discovered from repository guidance"); it stays above 3 because checkpoints are present, not merely implicit. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a well-sectioned overview that delegates detail through clearly signaled, one-level-deep links ("Follow [Discover the Current Implementation](../_shared/implementation-discovery.md)", the shared "[Documentation Writing and Review](../_shared/documentation-writing-review.md) contract") and sibling-skill referrals, with no bulk reference content inlined. It falls between anchors 4 and 5 rather than clearly at 5 because both shared references point outside the skill bundle (../_shared/, not ./references/) and cannot be verified to exist in the provided bundle — a minor organization gap against the 'easy navigation' top anchor. | 4 / 5 |
