85%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.
An excellent instruction-style skill: a clearly gated four-step method, concrete thresholds and tool calls, worked examples, and honest sourcing guidance, with essentially no filler explaining things Claude already knows. Its main structural weakness is that everything lives in one long SKILL.md with no progressive disclosure — the sale-preparation and citation material are natural candidates for reference files.
Suggestions
Move the 'Preparing to sell, finding buyers, negotiating' and 'Citing sources' sections into a references/ file (e.g. references/selling-process.md) and keep one-line pointers in SKILL.md, slimming the always-loaded body to the valuation method itself.
Tighten the discursive asides (buyer organic/paid preference ranges, cash-at-close deal-structure figures) into the tables or bullet fragments they inform, saving a few hundred tokens.
The `revenuecat-charts` / `get-benchmarks` invocations are repeated across sections; a single short 'Metrics you will need' table mapping each step to its tool call would consolidate them.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and information-rich: nearly every section carries domain facts Claude would not know (the two published bands, the 70% concentration thresholds, percentile-bucket interpretation, add-back rules). A few passages are discursive and could be trimmed — the buyer organic/paid preference aside ('cited preferences run from 100% organic through 50/50 to 75/25 paid/organic') and some of the deal-structure detail — so it matches 'Efficient; minor instances of over-explanation' rather than the every-token-earns-its-place anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | For an instruction-only skill the guidance is fully executable: exact tool invocations ('Request proceeds from `get-chart-data` on the `revenue` chart with the `revenue_type` selector set to `proceeds`', 'Use `get-benchmarks`' `percentile_bucket` directly: 70+ is strong, 30–70 neutral'), numeric thresholds throughout, a fully worked arithmetic example ('$200k ARR × 60% assumed margin = $120k profit × 3–5x'), and a mandated output format (named base × multiples, position, confidence). | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The method is explicitly sequenced — 'A valuation is four decisions, in order' — with each step numbered, decision gates ('Fail any check and the broad-market band applies. Say which check failed'), divergence triggers ('when it differs... by more than about 20%, present both'), and a required closing step stating the range, confidence, and what would move it. Validation checkpoints are built into the flow rather than left implicit. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | There are no bundle files (references/, scripts/, assets/ are absent) and the ~280-line body is monolithic: the valuation core, the scorecard detail, the 'Preparing to sell, finding buyers, negotiating' section, and the citing-sources section are all inlined in one file. Structure is good at the section level, but content that would serve better as separate reference files (sale prep, sourcing/citation policy) is inline, matching 'Some structure but could be better organized' — the under-50-line single-file exception does not apply at this length. | 3 / 5 |
