87%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 content is lean, highly actionable, and well-structured for a simple instruction-only skill, with the only meaningful gap being the absence of a validation/verification loop for its batch citation-assignment operation.
Suggestions
Add an explicit verification step the model runs before replying, e.g. cross-check that every cited key exists in source_pack or bibliography and that >=20 distinct keys are used when >=20 are available.
Add a feedback instruction to fix and re-verify when the check fails (e.g. swap in valid keys or add missing citations) so the batch operation has a validate->fix->retry loop.
Optionally include a brief duplicate-stuffing check (no key repeated purely to pad density) as part of the verification sequence.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean: a one-line intro, a compact inputs list, a tight output-contract template, and hard rules, with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every token earns its place. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | The output contract is copy-paste-ready with exact section names, field syntax, and enumerated role vocabularies, and the hard rules are specific and testable (e.g. "at least 20 distinct citation keys when at least 20 are available"), giving fully concrete executable guidance for an instruction-only skill. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | This batch citation-assignment operation has no validation or verification checkpoint (e.g. confirm every cited key exists in source_pack/bibliography, confirm >=20 keys used when available, confirm no duplicate stuffing), so per the batch-operation cap workflow clarity cannot exceed 3 despite the single action being unambiguous. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | At under 50 lines with no need for external references, the content is well organized into clear sections (Inputs, Output contract, Hard rules) and is appropriately self-contained, satisfying the simple-skill exception for a top score. | 5 / 5 |
