72%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 exceptionally lean, well-organized body for a simple skill — no token waste and a clear Inputs/Outputs/Rules structure. The weakness is that the guidance stays at the directive level: without an example batch format or a stated step order with verification, Claude must guess what the output should look like and how to check it.
Suggestions
Add a short example of the output artifacts: one sample question batch (with defaults applied and deferred questions marked) and one sample normalized answer, so the output format is unambiguous.
State the process as an ordered sequence (gather candidate questions -> filter/merge -> apply defaults -> emit batch -> on user reply, normalize answers) instead of leaving the order implicit in section layout.
Include a quick validation check, e.g. 'before emitting, confirm every remaining question is neither already answerable from decisions nor a later-phase question.'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is ~29 lean lines with zero padding: it assumes Claude's competence and every line (Inputs, Outputs, Rules) earns its place. Nothing explains concepts Claude already knows, matching the 'lean and efficient' anchor exactly. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Rules like "Remove duplicates and already-answerable questions" and "Defer later-phase questions instead of overloading frontdesk" are concrete directives, but there is no example of what a question batch or a normalized answer looks like, and the answer-normalization format is unspecified. This is incomplete concrete guidance rather than mostly-executable guidance, so it sits at 3 rather than 4. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The sequence (inputs -> batch -> outputs -> normalize answers when a response arrives) is implied by section order but never stated as an ordered process, and there are no validation checkpoints (e.g., how to verify the batch is not already answerable). The batched-batch operation without a verification step caps this at 3; it is not a 2 because the Inputs/Outputs/Rules structure does convey a rough, coherent flow. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | This is a simple, single-purpose skill under 50 lines with no external reference files needed (and none bundled in references/, scripts/, or assets/); the well-organized section headers satisfy the simple-skill exception for a top score. All navigation is on one level with no buried or nested references. | 5 / 5 |
