73%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 orchestration skill: the five-stage workflow is clearly sequenced with strong checkpoints, feedback loops, and stop conditions, and the guidance is largely actionable. The main costs are triple-explained AUTO_PROCEED semantics wasting tokens and a dangling template reference with no bundle file behind it.
Suggestions
Explain AUTO_PROCEED once in the Constants section and have Gate 1 / Key Rules reference it ("per AUTO_PROCEED above") instead of restating both branches three times.
Either ship templates/RESEARCH_BRIEF_TEMPLATE.md (and the final-report template as a separate file) or remove the reference, so every referenced path exists.
Tighten Stage 2 into a concrete checklist (files to create, argparse/seeds/logging requirements as verifiable items) to close the gap between it and the concrete Stage 3-4 instructions.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is operational and teaches nothing Claude already knows, but the AUTO_PROCEED semantics are explained three separate times ("**AUTO_PROCEED = true** — When `true`, Gate 1 auto-selects…", "**If AUTO_PROCEED=false:** Wait for user confirmation…", "**Human checkpoint after Stage 1 is controlled by AUTO_PROCEED.** When `false`, do not proceed…"), and the "Sweet spot" anecdote adds no instruction — matching 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' rather than the minor-trimming of anchor 4. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete sub-skill invocations ("/aris-idea-discovery \"$ARGUMENTS\""), a rendered Gate 1 dialog template, a four-item code-review checklist, and a full final-report markdown template give mostly executable guidance; minor gaps remain in Stage 2, where directives like "Extend pilot code to full scale (multi-seed, full dataset, proper baselines)" are directional rather than copy-paste, keeping it below anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Five clearly sequenced stages with an explicit human checkpoint enumerating every user response (approve / pick different / request changes / reject all / stop), a pre-deploy self-review checklist, experiment-start verification, and an auto-review feedback loop with an explicit stop condition ("repeat until score ≥ 6/10 or 4 rounds reached") plus fail-gracefully rules — matching the anchor for explicit validation steps, feedback loops, and checklists. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-sectioned overview with one-level-deep, clearly signaled pointers to sub-skills, and no bundle files to reorganize; however, the referenced "templates/RESEARCH_BRIEF_TEMPLATE.md" does not exist in the bundle, and the inline Gate 1 dialog and final-report templates are content that could live in separate files — good structure with minor organization gaps (anchor 4), not the clean split of anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
