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 a well-organized, lean instruction-only skill that uses progressive disclosure effectively with real, well-signaled reference files. Its main gaps are the absence of explicit validation checkpoints in the write-files step and some generation mechanics being deferred rather than shown inline.
Suggestions
Add an explicit validation checkpoint after writing the pipeline files (e.g., re-read research_brief.json and tasks.json to confirm they conform to brief-schema.md / tasks-schema.md before summarizing completion).
Show a minimal concrete example of the stage-to-task generation rule or a snippet of the expected JSON shape inline so the core mechanics are not entirely deferred to references.
Add a brief feedback loop for iteration requests (update -> verify consistency between brief and tasks.json) to match the validation rigor expected for batch file-generation workflows.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean, directive prose ('Keep this file short', 'Read only what you need', 'Do not fabricate...') with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every line is actionable guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Guidance is concrete and specific (exact file paths, stage order, JSON contracts via references) but the generation details are deferred to reference files rather than giving copy-paste-ready examples inline; it is an instruction-only skill so absence of code is not penalized, yet key generation mechanics are not shown directly. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The five-step workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit decision branches (startStage selection, regenerate vs refine), but there are no explicit validation checkpoints confirming the generated JSON files conform before declaring done — risky for a file-generation operation. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | SKILL.md is a concise overview that signals one-level-deep references (pipeline-contract.md index -> generation-rules.md / brief-schema.md / tasks-schema.md), and all referenced files exist in ./references/ with clear navigation. | 3 / 3 |
