72%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is concise and well-structured with a clear stepwise workflow, but it relies on blank template tables instead of executable formulas and lacks an explicit validation loop tying out the produced workbook. Filling in formula logic and adding a verify step would lift the weaker dimensions.
Suggestions
Replace the empty Pro Forma EPS and Sources & Uses tables with concrete openpyxl formulas (or a runnable builder snippet) so the guidance is copy-paste executable rather than scaffolding.
Add an explicit validation checkpoint after the recalc step — e.g., assert pro forma net income reconciles to standalone + target + synergies ± financing adjustments — so the workflow has a real verify/fix loop.
Provide the actual exchange-ratio and foregone-interest formulas inline in Step 4, since the rows are named but the math is left unstated.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean tables and tight lists that assume competence (no padding explaining what a P&L, EPS, or synergy is), with every section earning its place; the MCP-fallback note is useful rather than filler. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Most steps are empty scaffolding tables (headers only, no formulas or executable code) plus one concrete recalc command — concrete guidance is present but incomplete, matching the 'pseudocode / missing key details' anchor rather than copy-paste-ready code. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 7-step sequence and a 'recalculate before delivery' checkpoint exist, but there is no verify/error-recovery loop confirming the workbook ties out, leaving validation gaps that cap this at 2. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single well-organized SKILL.md with clearly labeled sections and only a one-level reference to the external excel-author skill; no deep nesting and no bundle files to split, so the structure is clean and navigable. | 3 / 3 |
