86%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 an exemplary lean, role-style instruction set: a numbered verification workflow with an unambiguous machine-readable verdict contract and firm boundaries, with no wasted tokens. Its only real weakness is that a few audit directives tell the reviewer what to look for without showing how.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is a lean 7-step workflow plus a boundaries list with zero padding: it never explains concepts Claude already knows, and compressed directives like "Canonical tree digest is dispatcher/controller-only route evidence" assume the model's competence and leave out all filler. Every token carries instruction weight, matching 'lean and efficient; every token earns its place'. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | The output contract is copy-paste precise ("first non-empty line: `status: pass`, `status: rework_required`, `status: blocked`, or `status: non_converged`") and several steps name exact checks (allowed paths, undeclared dependencies, read-only verification). It falls short of 5 because steps like "Audit hidden fallback, degradation, scope shrinkage, and missing evidence" give direction without any method or example of what such evidence looks like — minor gaps, fitting 'mostly executable guidance with minor gaps' rather than the incomplete anchor 3. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The seven steps form a coherent sequence with explicit decision checkpoints ("Missing or mismatched visible identity is `blocked`", "otherwise report the missing proof", "Put explanatory evidence after that line"). It does not reach 5 because there is no feedback loop for error recovery and some checkpoints (how to detect a scope violation) are named but not elaborated — 'clear sequence with most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps'. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines with two well-organized sections (Workflow, Boundaries) and no content that warrants external reference files — no references/scripts/assets exist in the bundle. Per the rubric's simple-skill guidance, well-organized sections alone merit 5. | 5 / 5 |
