88%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 well-engineered router/contract skill: scenario-based routing to verified one-level-deep references, exact operating rules for payment-critical edge cases, and a workflow with real validation checkpoints and a self-check list. The few weaknesses are mild redundancy (Reference index vs. Routing table, repeated secrets rule) and an incomplete Reference index that omits virtual-payment.md.
Suggestions
Add references/virtual-payment.md to the "Reference index" section — it is packaged and routed but missing from a list that claims to include all packaged reference files, which could break lint reachability checks.
Consider removing or merging the "Reference index" section with the Routing table (it duplicates the same file list minus one file), and deduplicate the secrets rule which currently appears in three places.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense with operational rules and routing with no padding about concepts Claude already knows, but there are minor instances that could be trimmed: the "Reference index" section duplicates the Routing table's file list, and the secrets rule is stated three times ("Do NOT use for" bullet, Operating Rule 3, and Minimum Self-Check). Efficient with minor trim opportunities fits anchor 4 rather than anchor 5's every-token-earns-its-place bar. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | As an instruction-only routing skill it gives fully actionable guidance: a routing table with exact per-scenario file paths and rationale, exact rules for the tricky cases ("A refund notify counts as success only when its RetCode is 0 and the refund id matches"; "ask for or inspect the actual function name before writing calls"), and a concrete 6-step workflow. Code absence is not penalized per the instruction-only note since executable detail is correctly deferred to the seven reference files, and no scenario lacks a concrete route. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Quick Workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints (step 5: "order-status query, callback idempotency, and amount/order validation"; step 6: "Verify through function logs, callback logs, and an end-to-end payment sandbox"), a checklist for complex processes ("Minimum Self-Check"), and an explicit error-recovery path (routing "callback failures, logs" to references/troubleshooting.md). This satisfies the anchor-5 bar of validation steps, feedback routing, and a checklist for a money-handling workflow. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Structure is strong: the Routing table splits seven scenarios into seven one-level-deep reference files, all verified to exist on disk with no nested references. However, the "Reference index" section claims "All packaged reference files (required for skill lint reachability)" yet omits references/virtual-payment.md, which is present in the bundle and routed in the table — a minor organization inconsistency that fits anchor 4's "minor organization gaps" rather than anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
