81%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 content is a well-structured orchestration skill: lean, actionable, with an exceptionally clear phased workflow that includes triage, a planning gate, and error-recovery rules. Progressive disclosure is handled well through sibling-skill references, with only minor organization gaps such as the inlined Phase 4 template.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is efficient and assumes Claude's competence — no known-concept explanations — with concrete file paths and a fill-in template. Minor trimming is possible (the 'Composing with Other Skills' section and some Key Rules restate the sibling-skill pointers from the Overview), so it fits anchor 4 rather than 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is concrete for an instruction-only skill: named output files per phase, explicit exit criteria for Phase 1, a gate checklist for Phase 2, and a copy-ready PIPELINE_SUMMARY.md template. Per the rubric's code-vs-instruction note the absence of code is not penalized, but execution detail ultimately depends on the sibling skills, keeping it at anchor 4. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Phases 0-5 are clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints: Phase 0 checks whether FINAL_PROPOSAL.md exists, is stale, or misaligned; Phase 2 is a dedicated planning gate with the fallback 'If these answers are not crisp, tighten the final proposal first'; Phase 0 also has an in-doubt recovery rule ('prefer re-running aris-research-refine'). This matches the anchor-5 pattern of explicit validation steps and error-recovery feedback loops. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a well-sectioned overview that defers stage detail to clearly signaled, one-level-deep sibling-skill links ('read these sibling skills only when needed'), and no bundle files exist to organize. It falls short of anchor 5 because the references point outside the bundle and the long Phase 4 summary template is inlined rather than split out. | 4 / 5 |
