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.
The body is a lean, concrete prompt with explicit numeric constraints, and its size and structure suit a simple single-purpose skill. Its main defect is the leftover template placeholder "[full distribution / tails of the distribution]", which leaves the sampling strategy ambiguous, plus minor role-play padding. Fixing the placeholder and stating the distribution rule directly would make it fully executable.
Suggestions
Resolve the bracketed placeholder into a definite instruction, e.g. "Sample the first 3 responses from the high-probability region of the distribution and the last 3 from the tails."
Drop the "You are a helpful assistant." role-play line and politeness filler ("please") to tighten token efficiency.
Add a one-line worked example of a single list item (text + probability) so the expected output format is unambiguous.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is about 10 lines and states its constraints tersely ("over 0.80", "less than 0.10"), but "You are a helpful assistant." and repeated "please" are padding Claude does not need. This is anchor 4 ("Efficient; minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed") rather than 5, where every token would earn its place. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | The instructions include concrete specifics (6 items, text plus numeric probability, explicit probability bounds), but the unresolved placeholder "[full distribution / tails of the distribution]" leaves a key parameter as an unchosen either/or — it reads like an unfinished template. That gap fits anchor 3 ("Some concrete guidance but incomplete ... missing key details") better than 4, where guidance would be mostly executable with only minor gaps. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | This is a simple, single-action, non-destructive skill, so the simple-skill exception applies and no multi-step sequence or validation loop is required. The action is clear, but the bracketed distribution choice and the slightly tangled "first 3 / last 3" phrasing introduce minor ambiguity, keeping it at anchor 4 rather than 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, has no bundle files, and needs no external references; a single heading over a short, well-ordered body is appropriate structure. Per the rubric's simple-skill note this earns anchor 5 (clear, well-organized, nothing that should be split out). | 5 / 5 |
