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 body is a lean, well-organized set of non-obvious guidance (handoff construction, evidence interpretation) that respects token budget and assumes competence. Its weakness is actionability and workflow clarity: the guidance stays at the checklist-abstraction level with no worked example and no explicitly sequenced delegation lifecycle with marked verification checkpoints.
Suggestions
Add one compact worked example of a well-formed handoff with the checklist fields actually populated (bounded question, target, permitted actions, acceptance observable, evidence paths, budget) to convert the abstract checklist into executable guidance.
Sequence the delegation lifecycle explicitly — compose handoff, dispatch, verify returned evidence against the acceptance observable, revise conclusion — marking each verification checkpoint, e.g. a short numbered list under a 'Delegation workflow' section.
Trim the trailing disclaimer paragraph, which re-states scope boundaries already implied by the frontmatter and adds tokens without adding instruction.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~30-line body is dense and lean with no padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows. The trailing scope-disclaimer paragraph ('This reference does not define another plan, a mandatory role chain or a report sequence') partially duplicates the frontmatter, which is minor over-explanation that could be trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | The handoff checklist is concrete at the field level ('bounded question, exact target and permitted actions, acceptance observable, environment, relevant evidence excerpts and paths, known failed approaches'), but no worked example or populated schema instance is given, and 'The live task schema supplies actual field names' defers specifics to an external artifact. Some concrete guidance but incomplete. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Content is organized thematically (handoff construction, context quality, result interpretation) rather than as a sequenced process, and verification checkpoints exist only implicitly (e.g. 'Look for the actual observable and whether the evidence belongs to the claimed target, identity and run'). Steps are implicit with no explicit lifecycle order or marked checkpoints. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle directories (references/, scripts/, assets/) exist and the body references no bundle files, so there is no navigation to verify. The skill is under 50 lines with clearly organized sections and no content that belongs in a separate file, matching the rubric's simple-skill exception for a full score. | 5 / 5 |
