67%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 well-organized, actionable, and rich in validated workflows and reference pointers, but it runs long and carries noticeable redundancy in the citation-hallucination guidance. A few dangling references to a missing templates/ directory slightly weaken navigation.
Suggestions
Consolidate the citation-hallucination guidance into one section; the ~40% error stat, "never write BibTeX from memory" rule, and placeholder pattern are each repeated 2–3 times.
Either add the missing templates/ directory and templates/README.md, or reword those references so they don't point to non-existent paths.
Move the bulk of the conference-requirements and template-reference tables into the existing references/*.md files to slim the SKILL.md overview.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~1000-line body is mostly efficient but repeats itself: the ~40% citation error rate, the "never generate BibTeX from memory" rule, and the placeholder pattern each appear two or three times across the "CRITICAL", "Citation Workflow", and summary sections, which could be consolidated. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides mostly executable guidance — Python snippets for Semantic Scholar/CrossRef BibTeX, bash exploration commands, LaTeX table/figure examples, and concrete checklists — with only minor gaps such as Exa MCP usage lacking a code example. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Multiple numbered workflows (0–4) ship with checklists and explicit validation checkpoints ("Verify template compiles as-is", "If ANY step fails → mark placeholder, inform scientist"), but a few workflows are lighter on feedback-loop detail. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Good one-level-deep structure with clearly signaled links to six real references/*.md files, but the body also points to a templates/ directory and templates/README.md that do not exist, and some conference/template tables that could live in reference files are inlined. | 4 / 5 |
