60%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 a lean, well-organized interview process with concrete example dialogue and good decision gates, scoring well on conciseness and workflow clarity. Its main defects are that both referenced format files are missing from the bundle — undermining actionability and progressive disclosure — and the directory-structure examples are partially redundant.
Suggestions
Add the referenced CONTEXT-FORMAT.md and ADR-FORMAT.md to the bundle (or inline the formats directly in SKILL.md) — the body twice defers to files that do not exist.
Collapse the two ASCII directory trees into one annotated example showing the single-context and multi-context (CONTEXT-MAP.md) layouts, saving ~20 lines without losing information.
Add an explicit termination condition for the session, e.g. a checklist for confirming shared understanding before wrapping up.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Largely lean, imperative instructions with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows — e.g. "Interview me relentlessly", "Create files lazily — only when you have something to write". The two ASCII directory trees are the main trimming opportunity: the multi-context tree largely restates the first with per-directory repetition, which is minor over-explanation rather than the padding of anchor 3. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | The interview guidance itself is concrete — example challenges ("Your glossary defines 'cancellation' as X, but you seem to mean Y — which is it?"), a crisp three-part ADR test, and the one-question-at-a-time rule. But the key details for the file-update actions are missing: "Use the format in [CONTEXT-FORMAT.md](./CONTEXT-FORMAT.md)" and "[ADR-FORMAT.md](./ADR-FORMAT.md)" point to files that do not exist in the bundle, so the update formats — a key detail — are unavailable, matching anchor 3's 'missing key details' rather than anchor 4's 'minor gaps'. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear sequenced process: explore the codebase/docs first ("If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead"), ask questions one at a time waiting for feedback, resolve terms inline ("Don't batch these up — capture them as they happen"), with a decision gate for ADRs ("If any of the three is missing, skip the ADR"). Not a 5 because there is no explicit checkpoint for when the session is complete or how to verify 'shared understanding' has actually been reached beyond "until we reach a shared understanding". | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Both cross-references — "[CONTEXT-FORMAT.md](./CONTEXT-FORMAT.md)" and "[ADR-FORMAT.md](./ADR-FORMAT.md)" — are one level deep and clearly signaled, but neither file exists in the bundle (no references/, scripts/, assets/ directories and no top-level format files), so navigation is broken for the very content the body defers to. Per the guideline to score against the actual bundle structure, dangling references make this score at the 'references present but unusable' level rather than anchor 3's merely-not-clearly-signaled or anchor 4's minor organization gaps. | 2 / 5 |
