50%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 offers a clear, actionable research process and output template, but is notably verbose: it re-explains concepts Claude already knows and inlines an oversized worked example. Workflow sequencing is good but lacks explicit validation checkpoints, and everything lives in one file.
Suggestions
Trim or remove the generic process explanations ('Consider multiple perspectives', 'Identify patterns and themes') that Claude already knows, keeping only the structural guidance.
Move the full intermittent-fasting worked example into a separate EXAMPLES.md reference file and link to it from the body, reducing inline token load.
Add explicit validation checkpoints to the research process, e.g. 'Before synthesizing, confirm at least 3 independent sources cover each key finding'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body restates general knowledge Claude already has ('Consider multiple perspectives', 'Identify patterns and themes', 'Note areas of consensus and disagreement') and inlines a very long fully-written worked example that is demonstration rather than guidance, adding substantial padding. | 2 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, specific structural guidance — numbered citation format, a fixed output section template, and a tiered source-credibility rubric — giving Claude an executable structure to follow, with only minor gaps. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear five-step research process is sequenced (Clarify, Identify, Gather, Synthesize, Document), but it lacks explicit validation checkpoints such as confirming sufficient source coverage before synthesizing. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist and the SKILL.md is a single monolithic document; section headers are clear, but the lengthy full worked example is inlined content that could live in a separate examples file. | 3 / 5 |
