65%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 concise and well-structured for a simple skill, but its workflow is a high-level outline without executable tool-call syntax or a validation feedback loop for the compile step.
Suggestions
Add concrete, executable examples of how to invoke generate_latex, generate_figure, and compile_pdf (arguments, expected outputs) so guidance is copy-paste ready.
Insert an explicit validation checkpoint with a feedback loop after compilation (e.g. 'If compile_pdf reports errors, read the log, fix the LaTeX source, and recompile until it succeeds').
Specify how inputs are parsed and where intermediate artifacts land so each Process step maps to a concrete file or tool call.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and well-sectioned with no over-explanation of concepts Claude already knows; only the descriptive Process sentences could be marginally tightened, keeping it just below a 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | It names the tools (generate_latex, compile_pdf, generate_figure) and input paths and sequences 13 steps, but provides no executable command syntax, code, or call examples, leaving key execution details unspecified. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 13-step sequence exists, but this batch operation has only a final 'verify the output' step and no validate→fix→retry feedback loop, capping workflow clarity at 3 per the batch-operation guideline. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, single-purpose, has no bundle files requiring references, and is organized into clear sections (Purpose, Tools, Input, Process, Output), satisfying the simple-skill exception for a 5. | 5 / 5 |
