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.
A tight, actionable setup guide with concrete commands, complete settings JSON, and an explicit verification step. The main improvements are trimming the near-duplicate project/global JSON blocks and adding brief recovery guidance for when the verification test fails.
Suggestions
Collapse the two near-identical settings JSON blocks into one example plus a note to swap the command path for the project ($CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR) vs global (~) scope, cutting ~15 redundant lines.
In step 5, add a short recovery branch: if the test does not exit with code 2, check that the script is executable (chmod +x), that the settings JSON is valid, and that the hook entry was merged into the existing hooks.PreToolUse array.
Optionally list the exact patterns the bundled script blocks (or note that step 4's customization edits the copied script) so the body and script stay in sync when patterns change.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean — no explanations of concepts Claude already knows, every step is direct ('Copy it to the target location', 'Make it executable with chmod +x'). It fits anchor 4 ('minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed') rather than 5 because the project and global settings JSON blocks are ~35 near-duplicate lines differing only in the command path; that block could be collapsed to one snippet plus a path substitution. It is well above anchor 3 since there is no real padding. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable throughout: exact script path and destination paths, 'chmod +x', complete copy-paste settings JSON for both scopes, an explicit merge instruction ('merge the hook into existing hooks.PreToolUse array — don't overwrite other settings'), and a concrete verification one-liner with expected behavior ('Should exit with code 2 and print a BLOCKED message to stderr'). Matches the anchor-5 'copy-paste ready commands covering the common cases'; not 4 because no key detail is missing. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Five clearly sequenced steps (ask scope → copy script → add hook → customize → verify) ending in an explicit validation step with a test command and expected exit code, so it avoids the destructive-operation cap at 3. It matches anchor 4 ('Clear sequence with most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps') rather than 5 because there is no error-recovery guidance if the verification fails (e.g., check executable bit, confirm settings merge) — the feedback loop is single-shot rather than validate → fix → retry. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The implementation script is correctly externalized with a clear one-level-deep reference ('The bundled script is at: [scripts/block-dangerous-git.sh](scripts/block-dangerous-git.sh)' — the file exists and matches the body), and everything remaining inline is appropriately concise setup guidance. This is a single-task skill whose only split-worthy content (the pattern-matching script) is already in a separate file, matching the well-signaled one-level-deep anchor; not 4 because there are no organization gaps — sections (What Gets Blocked / Steps) are well-ordered and easy to navigate. | 5 / 5 |
