85%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 well-structured procedural skill: clear sequencing, explicit verification and debugging feedback loops, and exemplary progressive disclosure to real reference files. The main gaps are minor — duplicated reference pointers and the absence of a copy-paste code example for route registration.
Suggestions
Remove the duplicate 'Read references/routes-and-endpoints.md' and 'Read references/schema.md' pointers in section 1 (they are repeated in sections 2 and 3) to tighten token efficiency.
Add a minimal copy-paste-ready register_rest_route() example (namespace, route, args with permission_callback) either inline or in routes-and-endpoints.md so the core task has fully executable coverage.
Consider adding natural trigger synonyms like 'wp-json' or 'WP API' to the description to improve recall for users who use those phrasings.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean, imperative bullets with no re-explanation of concepts Claude already knows (e.g., "Never read $_GET/$_POST directly inside endpoints; use WP_REST_Request"). Not 5: "Read references/routes-and-endpoints.md" and "Read references/schema.md" each appear twice within short spans — minor duplication that could be trimmed; not 3: there are no padded or unnecessary explanation sections. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance throughout — "use __return_true for public endpoints", "WP_REST_Server::READABLE/CREATABLE/EDITABLE/DELETABLE", "per_page is capped at 100", and a runnable triage command. Not 5: no copy-paste-ready PHP snippet for the core register_rest_route task, leaving a minor gap in executable coverage; not 3: the guidance is specific and directly executable, not pseudocode. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly sequenced procedure (triage → choose approach → register → validate → shape responses → auth → discovery) with an explicit Verification checklist ("/wp-json/ index includes your namespace", "OPTIONS on your route returns schema") and a Failure modes section mapping symptoms to causes and fixes. Not 4: validation checkpoints and error-recovery feedback are both explicit, matching the top anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is an overview that points to six real, one-level-deep reference files (all present in ./references/), each clearly signaled at the relevant procedural step (e.g., "Read references/authentication.md" under Authentication). Not 4: the split is appropriate and navigation is easy with no buried or nested references. | 5 / 5 |
