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 tightly written, well-structured SDC skill that assumes Claude's competence and front-loads blocking gates, a clear protocol, and a verification checklist. The main gap is that actionable detail lives in an external task file rather than the body, which caps actionability, and the error-recovery loop is implied rather than explicit.
Suggestions
Add an explicit validate→fix→re-check loop for gate failures instead of the single "On any hard fail → HALT" rule, which would lift workflow_clarity to 5.
Inline the one or two highest-value concrete steps from po-close-story.md (e.g., the exact closure-metadata fields to set) so the body is executable without loading the external task file.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and dense: short sections (Task SOT, Input, Pre-close gates, Protocol, Post-phase verification, Forbidden) with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every line earns its place. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance is present (specific gate verdicts to check, "$ARGUMENTS[0/1]", the file to load/execute, the @po adoption), but the core task delegates to an external "po-close-story.md" so the body itself is not fully copy-paste executable end-to-end. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear sequenced protocol with explicit blocking pre-close gates, a HALT rule, and a post-phase verification checklist provides strong checkpoints; it stops short of a 5 because the verify/fix/retry feedback loop is only implied ("On any hard fail → HALT") rather than an explicit fix-and-revalidate cycle. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | This is a sub-50-line single-purpose skill with well-organized sections and no external bundle files; per the simple-skill exception, clean sectioning alone earns a 5 with no need for one-level-deep references. | 5 / 5 |
