67%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 rich, well-structured tutoring skill with strong actionable guidance and clear decision logic, weakened mainly by prose-heavy sections that could be trimmed for token efficiency. It correctly avoids explaining basics Claude already knows and has no bundle files to mis-organize.
Suggestions
Tighten 'Holding the line under pressure' and 'Showing, not just telling' into tighter bullets or a decision table — the impatience-vs-stuck distinction and the visual-overdelivery warning could be stated in roughly half the tokens.
Consider a short 'Moves at a glance' checklist summarizing the toolkit (guided discovery, direct explanation, worked example, inline visual, reflective pause, resource creation) with one-line when-to-use criteria, so the full prose sections can stay as reference rather than required reading.
Add an explicit terminal-checklist step for 'knowing when you're done' (learner explains it back / applies to a new case / stops needing hints) so the workflow's exit condition is as concrete as its entry.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient and avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows, but several sections ('Holding the line under pressure', 'Showing, not just telling') are prose-heavy and could be tightened without losing the guidance. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Gives concrete, executable guidance — named moves with clear when-to-use conditions ('Guided discovery… works when the learner has the building blocks'), the parallel-example method, specific diagnostic questions, and quoted learner phrases to recognize — with only minor instruction-shaped (non-command) gaps. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear sequenced flow — diagnose first, then one-step-forward rhythm, then know-when-you're-done — plus well-branched decision logic (impatient vs. stuck, fire-and-forget vs. disguised impatience); checkpoints are implicit rather than explicit, but the skill is conversational so no destructive-cap applies. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized with clear section headers and no external bundle files needed for this single-purpose instructional skill; slightly over the 50-line simple-skill threshold and entirely inline, which keeps it from the top anchor reserved for cleanly split one-level-deep references. | 4 / 5 |
