65%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 tight, principle-driven skill that assumes Claude's competence and avoids padding entirely. Its weaknesses are that the guidance stays directional rather than demonstrable — no example of a propagated redesign — and the workflow is only implicitly sequenced with no verification checkpoint.
Suggestions
Add one short before/after example showing a requirement bolted on vs. redesigned from first principles, to make the propagation bullet concrete and executable.
Number the bullets into an explicit sequence (read, ask, propagate, deliver) and add a final verification step such as 'confirm no reference still reflects the old design' so the workflow has a checkpoint.
Collapse the opening paragraph's three restatements of the same idea into one sentence to reclaim tokens.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean with no concept re-teaching, but the opening paragraph restates the same idea three times ('don't bolt it onto the existing design' / 'Redesign as if the requirement had been there from the start' / 'what we would have built if we'd known on day one'), which is minor over-explanation that could be trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | The bullets give real direction ('Read all affected files', 'Propagate the change through every reference: types, docs, examples, rationale sections'), but there is no worked example or concrete checklist of what propagation looks like, and 'Think about the redesign holistically, then deliver it incrementally' is abstract — 'some concrete guidance but incomplete'. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The bullets imply a rough order (read, ask, propagate, deliver) but are not explicitly sequenced, and the closing guidance leaves the delivery order and any verification checkpoints implicit, fitting 'steps listed but sequence present with checkpoints missing or implicit'. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | This is a single-purpose skill under 50 lines with no need for external references; the heading, intro, bullet list, and closing line are well organized, which per the rubric's simple-skill guidance earns the top score without external file references. | 5 / 5 |
