75%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, actionable workflow with concrete tool calls, a clear five-step sequence, and built-in validation checkpoints. The main improvements are de-duplicating the intro against the description, making the smoke-test retry loop explicit, and templating the large prompt/output blocks.
Suggestions
Remove the redundant opening sentence ('Systematically design ablations... CC reviews feasibility and implements') since it duplicates the frontmatter description.
Make the smoke-test feedback loop explicit in Step 5: 'If a smoke test fails, diagnose and fix before re-running; do not proceed to the full run.'
Consider extracting the large Codex prompt block and output markdown template into a reference file (e.g. references/ablation_prompt.md) to tighten SKILL.md and improve progressive disclosure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly lean and assumes Claude's competence (no basic-concept padding), with minor redundancy: the opening sentence repeats the frontmatter description and the Codex prompt block is long though justified as executable content. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides a concrete MCP call with exact config (model_reasoning_effort: xhigh), a full prompt, structured output tables, and a feasibility checklist — mostly executable, with minor gaps from template placeholders like '[description from project files]'. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Five clearly sequenced steps with checkpoints (Step 4 feasibility review, Step 5 smoke test before full run), satisfying the batch-operation validation requirement; falls short of 5 because the error-recovery feedback loop (smoke-test-fails -> fix -> retry) is implicit rather than explicit. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized into clear sections (When to Use, Workflow, Rules) with no bundle files present; the large inline Codex prompt and output-template blocks keep it just short of a 5, though it is appropriately self-contained. | 4 / 5 |
