92%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.
An exemplary skill body: a clearly sequenced procedure with done-when checkpoints, checklist-driven validation gates, executable triage and verification commands, and clean one-level-deep progressive disclosure to a complete reference bundle. The only room for improvement is minor token tightening in the repeated done-when phrasing and a few verbose failure-mode bullets.
Suggestions
Tighten the repeated "**Done when:**" lines in steps 3–5 (e.g., merge each into the step's closing sentence) to save tokens without losing the checkpoint function.
Compress a few failure-mode bullets that combine diagnosis and fix into long single sentences (e.g., the accessibility and Query Loop bullets) into terse check-then-fix pairs.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and procedural with essentially no explanation of concepts Claude already knows — no "what is WordPress" padding, with details pushed to references ("Read references/design-with-tokens.md for the core principle"). Minor instances could be trimmed, e.g., the "Done when:" formula repeated verbatim under steps 3–5 and a few elaborated failure-mode bullets, so it sits at anchor 4 ('efficient; minor instances that could be trimmed') rather than anchor 5's every-token-earns-its-place. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete executable commands ("node skills/wp-project-triage/scripts/detect_wp_project.mjs", "npx @wp-playground/cli@latest server --auto-mount"), exact escaping functions ("esc_html_e()", "esc_url()"), a worked nesting-tree example, and specific checkable failure conditions ("confirm the file is under patterns/*.php", "check for core/query-no-results fallback"). Copy-paste-ready commands plus specific guidance covering common cases matches anchor 5; it exceeds anchor 4, which would still have gaps in what to execute. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 0–5 are clearly sequenced, each ending in an explicit "Done when:" checkpoint, followed by dedicated Design Quality and Technical Validation checklist gates, a real-environment verification section, and a failure-modes section with diagnosis-to-fix pairings ("Block recovery prompt appears: validate block comment nesting, JSON syntax, and closing comments") plus escalation criteria. This matches anchor 5 — explicit validation steps, error-recovery feedback loops, and checklists — and is more complete than anchor 4's 'most checkpoints present'. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a concise overview that routes detail to seven reference files, all of which exist in references/ (anti-patterns.md, block-markup-reference.md, design-with-tokens.md, example-prompts.md, pattern-categories-and-types.md, pattern-registration.md, visual-composition.md), each clearly signaled with its purpose ("Read references/pattern-registration.md for header fields, PHP rules, manual registration, and file examples"). Verified against the actual bundle: references are one level deep with only a single same-level cross-reference (visual-composition.md → anti-patterns.md), matching anchor 5's well-signaled one-level-deep structure. | 5 / 5 |
