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.
The body is an exemplary lean overview: WordPress-specific guardrails with no filler, a numbered procedure ending in a verification checklist and a symptom-to-cause debugging section, and clean one-level-deep disclosure into six real reference files. The only notable gap is actionability — no copy-paste code examples for the security and settings patterns the body mandates, and one referenced triage script lives outside this bundle.
Suggestions
Inline one short copy-paste snippet for the most fragile patterns the body mandates, e.g., a correct activation-hook registration or a nonce + capability check pair in a settings form, to lift actionability to fully executable.
Clarify or vendor the external triage dependency: `node skills/wp-project-triage/scripts/detect_wp_project.mjs` references a script outside this bundle, so state the fallback if that skill is absent (or point to the bundled `detect_plugins.mjs` only).
Link the "## Verification" checklist items back to the procedure steps they validate (e.g., note that settings round-trip verification follows step 3) so the feedback loop is inline rather than only at the end.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |

Conciseness | The body is ~106 lines of tight bullet guidance with zero explanation of concepts Claude already knows — e.g., "register activation/deactivation hooks at top-level, not inside other hooks", "Validate/sanitize input early; escape output late", "Use `wp_unslash()` and specific keys". Every line is a WordPress-specific guardrail or pointer; it matches anchor 5 ("lean and efficient; assumes Claude's competence; every token earns its place") rather than anchor 4, which requires instances of over-explanation that are absent here. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Quotes: "`node skills/wp-plugin-development/scripts/detect_plugins.mjs`", "`register_setting()`, `add_settings_section()`, `add_settings_field()`", "`uninstall.php` or `register_uninstall_hook`", "Use `$wpdb->prepare()` for SQL" — concrete commands, function names, and file conventions. Not anchor 5: beyond the two detection scripts there is no copy-paste-ready code (e.g., a nonce+capability check pattern or an activation-hook registration snippet), and the triage command references an external skill path (`skills/wp-project-triage/...`) not present in this bundle. Not anchor 3: the guidance names exact APIs and files, far beyond pseudocode. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The procedure is a clearly numbered sequence (0) Triage → 1) Architecture → 2) Lifecycle → 3) Settings → 4) Security → 5) Data/cron, followed by an explicit "## Verification" checklist ("Plugin activates with no fatals/notices", "Uninstall removes intended data (and nothing else)", "Run repo lint/tests") and a "## Failure modes / debugging" section mapping symptoms to causes ("Activation hook not firing: hook registered incorrectly..."). This matches anchor 5 (explicit validation steps, feedback loops for error recovery, checklists); the destructive uninstall operation does have validation, so no cap applies. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a concise overview that splits detail into six one-level-deep reference files, each clearly signaled per section ("See: `references/structure.md`", "`references/lifecycle.md`", "`references/settings-api.md`", "`references/security.md`", "`references/data-and-cron.md`", "`references/debugging.md`"). All six files exist in the bundle, contain real content, and contain no further nested references (verified by grep), and `scripts/detect_plugins.mjs` exists. This matches anchor 5 ("clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references; content appropriately split") rather than anchor 4, which requires organization gaps that are not present. | 5 / 5 |
