71%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 a well-organized, mostly lean instruction set with genuinely concrete routing paths and decision criteria, and the main workflow correctly delegates detail to existing reference files. Its weaknesses are an incomplete bundle index — several references and all scripts are unreachable from SKILL.md, and one cited path does not exist in the bundle — and validation steps that say to validate without linking the shipped tooling.
Suggestions
Link the orphaned bundle files from the relevant sections: point the intake section at references/semantic-layer/source-intake.md, the crawl/evidence section at references/semantic-layer/connector-playbook.md, and the routing or setup section at references/automation.md.
Reference the shipped validation tooling where the body says to validate (e.g. scripts/validate_data_context_contract.py, scripts/data_analytics_preflight.py) so the validation checkpoints have a concrete how.
Disambiguate "references/source-inventory.md": it refers to a file in the generated skill's package, not this skill's bundle — qualify it (e.g. "<target-skill>/references/source-inventory.md") or add a matching file to this bundle.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense with novel routing and policy instructions rather than concepts Claude already knows, and it stays at 71 lines while pushing detail to references ("Put detailed metric definitions, tables, query patterns, caveats, and evidence into linked references"). Not a 5 because of noticeable restatement: the route-to-`index` rule appears four times (lines 10, 12, 33, 71) and the weekly-refresh offer terms are duplicated between "Creating Or Updating The Layer" and "Output Contract". | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Most guidance is executable: exact destinations ("$CODEX_HOME/skills/<area>-semantic-layer", "~/.codex/skills/<area>-semantic-layer"), a three-branch decision table with explicit selection conditions, and named artifacts like "references/source-inventory.md". Not a 5: there are no runnable commands or examples, and instructions to "build and validate the same canonical semantic-layer skill package" stay abstract even though the bundle ships validation scripts (scripts/validate_data_context_contract.py, scripts/data_analytics_preflight.py) that are never linked. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The sequence is discernible (routing/intake → destination selection → source inventory → crawl and synthesis from skill-template → refresh offer → output contract) with validation checkpoints named ("Build and validate the same canonical semantic-layer skill package before writing it to any destination", "Validate the written skill and verify it is discoverable in a new local Codex context"). Not a 5: steps are never presented as an ordered sequence, and the validation checkpoints specify that validation should happen but not how, leaving the fix-and-retry loop implicit. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body keeps detail in clearly-signaled one-level-deep references that exist (references/semantic-layer/skill-template.md, references/semantic-layer/weekly-polling-automation.md), but measured against the actual bundle the index is incomplete: references/semantic-layer/connector-playbook.md, references/semantic-layer/source-intake.md, references/automation.md, and all three scripts/*.py files are never linked from SKILL.md, and "references/source-inventory.md" (referenced twice) does not exist in this bundle. Not a 4: half the bundle is orphaned from the entry point, which is more than a minor organization gap; not a 2 because the in-body content is well-sectioned and the references that are made are clear. | 3 / 5 |
