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.
A dense, operational instruction body with concrete commands, deterministic verdict rules, fail-closed behavior, and an explicit validation checklist — the writing assumes Claude's competence and wastes few tokens. The main weakness is progressive disclosure: several cited reference paths point outside the bundle and don't resolve in a standalone install, while an existing bundled example report is never surfaced.
Suggestions
Reference the bundled `references/example-report.md` from SKILL.md (e.g., in the Report or Reference Materials section) so the existing example output is discoverable instead of orphaned.
Make the `../../../references/*` paths resolve or self-describe: state explicitly that they exist only in repo/plugin installs and that standalone installs use `references/auditor-runtime.md` alone, so broken relative links don't have to be guessed at.
Consolidate the triple listing of the same reference files (Runtime Reads, Runtime Contract, Reference Materials) into a single annotated list to trim duplication.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and operational with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows — sections like "Skill Contract" and "Verdict Rules" are pure instructions. Not a 5 because there is minor redundancy: the same reference files are listed three times ("Runtime Reads", "Runtime Contract", "Reference Materials"), which could be consolidated. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete executable commands are given — `python3 "$AARON_SKILLS_ROOT/scripts/rubric-score.py" score <run.json>`, `python3 "$AARON_SKILLS_ROOT/scripts/validate-audit-artifact.py" <draft> --relative-path <target>`, exact env resolution, and explicit enum values (SHIP/FIX/BLOCK/UNDECIDED, NOT_SCORED). Not a 5 because constructing the typed `audit-run.schema.json` input is deferred to an external runbook rather than shown, so the core scoring step is not copy-paste ready. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Evidence Procedure is a numbered 6-step sequence with explicit Unknown/N/A handling, persistence has a validate → write → revalidate loop, the scoring step is fail-closed ("If unavailable, return `score_state: NOT_SCORED`"), and a dedicated "Validation Checkpoints" checklist exists. Not a 5 because the end-to-end order (setup → evidence → score → report → persist) must be inferred from section ordering, and key procedural detail (the runbook header, input construction) lives in external files. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | References are clearly signaled in dedicated sections (Runtime Reads, Reference Materials with markdown links), but scored against the actual bundle they partly fail: the five `../../../references/*` paths (auditor-runbook.md, framework-catalog.json, etc.) do not exist in this standalone bundle, and the bundled `references/example-report.md` is never referenced from SKILL.md. Not a 2 because references are explicitly listed rather than buried, and the bundled fallback (`references/auditor-runtime.md`) is correctly wired; not a 4 because broken paths and an orphaned bundle file undermine one-level-deep navigation. | 3 / 5 |
