93%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 skill: operational rules, a crisp four-step process, exact commands and paths, and clean one-level-deep references to real bundle files. The only minor gap is the absence of an explicit validation checkpoint on the rendered output, which keeps workflow_clarity at 4.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~46-line body is lean and fully operational: "Render when the discussion has >=3 moving parts", "2–5 blocks per canvas", "One diagram, one point. If a diagram needs a paragraph, redraw the diagram." No concept explanations or padding — every token earns its place. Not below 5 because nothing can be trimmed without losing instruction. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | For an instruction-only skill the guidance is fully concrete: exact output path pattern ("`<tmpdir>/visual-thinking-<timestamp>.html` (`%TEMP%` on Windows, `$TMPDIR` or `/tmp` elsewhere)"), open commands ("`start` / `open` / `xdg-open`"), and a seven-type block taxonomy with one-line selection guidance. The deferred details live in real bundle files (references/diagrams.md, assets/canvas-template.html). Anchor 5; the absence of code is not penalized because the guidance is directly executable. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear four-step sequence (Extract → Compose → Render → Feed back) with a go/no-go gate (rule 1: ">=3 moving parts"), an explicit failure check ("If the canvas restates everything already said in chat, it failed") and a regeneration rule ("never edit diagrams in place"). Scored 4 rather than 5 because there is no explicit validation/retry checkpoint on the rendered output itself (e.g. verifying the file opened or Mermaid rendered) — a minor gap, though the operation is low-risk (temp file, nothing in the repo). | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a clear, well-organized overview that splits detail correctly: the diagram/HTML contract in [references/diagrams.md] and the shell in [assets/canvas-template.html], both clearly signaled one-level-deep links, and both files exist with real content. Easy navigation, no inlining of content that belongs in separate files. | 5 / 5 |
