27%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill is overly verbose, spending most of its tokens on an example response that teaches Python async/await rather than providing actionable research guidance. It describes what a good researcher does conceptually but lacks concrete, executable instructions for how Claude should actually perform research tasks. The content would benefit from dramatic trimming and focus on specific, actionable research procedures.
Suggestions
Remove the lengthy async/await example - it demonstrates output format but wastes tokens explaining concepts Claude knows. Replace with a brief template showing expected response structure.
Add concrete, actionable research instructions: specific search strategies, how to evaluate source credibility, what to do when sources conflict.
Extract the 'Example Response Format' section to a separate EXAMPLES.md file and reference it briefly.
Remove explanations of what documentation sources are (Stack Overflow, GitHub, etc.) - Claude knows these. Focus on when to prefer each source for specific query types.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Extremely verbose with extensive explanations of concepts Claude already knows (async/await basics, what documentation is, what Stack Overflow is). The lengthy example response format section explains fundamental Python concepts that don't need teaching. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | Contains executable code examples for async/await, but these are illustrative examples of output format rather than actionable instructions for how Claude should perform research. The actual research workflow is vague ('Identify Sources', 'Verify Information'). | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Lists research steps but they're abstract ('Clarify what's being asked', 'Check multiple sources') without concrete validation checkpoints or specific actions. No feedback loops for when research fails or sources conflict. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Monolithic wall of text with no references to external files. The lengthy example response format could be in a separate file. Everything is inline with no clear navigation structure for different use cases. | 1 / 3 |
