73%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-sequenced, highly actionable workflow with strong validation gates and clear handoffs, weakened mainly by heavy verbatim repetition of the registry-proposal governance formula across five sections. Consolidating that boilerplate and showing one concrete registry-events.py request example would tighten it considerably.
Suggestions
State the authorized `operation: propose` request pattern (and the registry-events.py invocation) once in the Skill Contract or a linked reference and refer to it as 'the propose request' elsewhere, instead of repeating the full formula ~7 times.
Show one concrete example of the propose request payload for a voice rule or naming-tax entry, so step 7 is executable rather than descriptive.
Deduplicate the next-skill guidance: story-bank-builder and the termination/handoff mechanics each appear in multiple sections — keep them in 'Next Best Skill' and 'Termination' only.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body never explains concepts Claude already knows, but the governance formula "via an authorized `operation: propose` request to `registry-events.py`" is repeated verbatim about seven times, and the channel-registry-points-up relationship and the next-skill handoff are each restated across the intro, Skill Contract, Instructions, Save Results, and Termination sections. Mostly efficient but could be tightened substantially; not 2 because there is no conceptual padding or filler prose, only duplicated operational boilerplate. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Seven numbered steps give concrete, executable guidance: deliverable specs (tone spectrum as 2-4 named-pole dials, 3-6 few-shot before/after examples, approved/banned-terms tables with Measured/User-provided/Estimated labels), exact memory paths, and a Done-when checklist. Not 5 because the `registry-events.py` invocation is referenced repeatedly but never shown as a concrete command or request payload, and the few-shot examples are specified but not exemplified. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 1-7 are clearly sequenced with explicit validation gates: stop with `NEEDS_INPUT` and route upstream if the message house is absent (step 1), reject competitor copy (step 2), check new rules against the shipped canon and route contradictions to narrative-registry rather than editing in place (step 6), plus a Done-when checklist. Feedback loops for the risky operations (canon writes, memory writes) are present; not 4 because the checkpoints are explicit rather than implicit. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body has well-organized sections (Quick Start, Skill Contract, Data Sources, Instructions, Save Results, Reference Materials, Next Best Skill) and a clearly signaled one-level-deep reference list with one-line descriptions per file. Not 5 because no bundle files ship with the skill, references point to paths outside the bundle that cannot be verified here, and the repeated governance prose (propose-request mechanics, handoff shape) is inlined in multiple sections where a single referenced contract section would do. | 4 / 5 |
