39%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The skill defines a comprehensive research orchestration workflow with clear sequencing and validation steps, but suffers severely from verbosity and lack of progressive disclosure. At 350+ lines with no supporting bundle files, it dumps extensive schemas, templates, regex patterns, and configuration details inline that should be split into reference documents. The actionability is moderate—examples are illustrative but rely on pseudo-syntax rather than truly executable code.
Suggestions
Extract the report template, state.json schema, regex extraction patterns, and configuration reference into separate bundle files (e.g., REPORT_TEMPLATE.md, STATE_SCHEMA.md, TAG_PATTERNS.md) and reference them from the main skill.
Cut the routing decision guide table and parallel execution patterns section by at least 50%—the smart model routing table already conveys the key information, and multiple parallel pattern examples are redundant.
Remove or drastically condense the figure embedding protocol and figure types table—Claude understands markdown image embedding and doesn't need this explained.
Make Task invocations more concrete by clarifying the actual API/tool syntax rather than using illustrative pseudocode with parenthetical notation.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is extremely verbose at ~350+ lines. It over-explains concepts Claude already understands (parallel execution patterns, regex patterns, JSON schemas, report templates). Much of this content—like the full state.json schema, regex extraction patterns, report template, and figure embedding protocol—could be dramatically condensed or moved to reference files. The routing decision guide and multiple parallel execution pattern examples are redundant. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides concrete examples of Task invocations, structured tags, and command usage, which is good. However, much of the code is pseudocode or template-style (e.g., `Task(subagent_type=...)` isn't real executable syntax, the regex patterns are illustrative but not tied to actual implementation, and the report template uses placeholder variables). The guidance is specific enough to follow but not truly copy-paste executable. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The multi-stage workflow is clearly sequenced: Decomposition → Execution → Verification → Synthesis. The verification loop includes explicit cross-validation with conflict detection, and AUTO mode has clear iteration limits, state tracking, and promise-based completion signals. The batching strategy for >20 concurrent agents adds a practical constraint checkpoint. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | This is a monolithic wall of text with no bundle files to reference. The state.json schema, regex patterns, report template, figure embedding protocol, and configuration details should all be in separate reference files. Everything is inlined into a single massive document with no external references, making it a poor use of progressive disclosure. | 1 / 3 |
