63%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 highly actionable and well-sequenced with concrete MCP tooling guidance and validation feedback loops, but it is over-padded in places and bundles everything into one monolithic file with no progressive disclosure.
Suggestions
Move the per-host observer-delegation details and the stop_reason_code / interview-closure taxonomies into reference files and link to them from SKILL.md.
Tighten the repeated relay-loop instructions in Background monitoring UX §3 into a single canonical statement.
Surface a concise 'Quick start' / dispatch summary at the top before the detailed orchestration policy.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and mostly operational, but the observer/relay-loop material is restated across multiple subsections and could be tightened, matching anchor 3 ('Mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation or could be tightened'); not anchor 2 because it largely assumes competence rather than padding with basics. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | It provides concrete, executable guidance — named MCP tools (ouroboros_start_auto, ouroboros_job_wait, ouroboros_session_signal), exact arguments, a CLI-flag-to-MCP-arg table, and full call shapes — matching anchor 4 ('Mostly executable guidance; concrete code or commands with minor gaps'). | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear numbered Behavior sequence and Background monitoring UX with explicit terminal/non-terminal handling, fail-closed sentinel validation, and resume feedback loops align with anchor 4 ('Clear sequence with most checkpoints present'); it is not anchor 5 because some checkpoints are implicit rather than explicit validation steps. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is a single 279-line SKILL.md with no bundle files or external references, and content that could live in separate files (stop_reason taxonomy, per-host observer delegation) is inlined, matching anchor 3 ('Some structure but could be better organized; content that should be separate is inline'); section headers keep it above anchor 2. | 3 / 5 |
