doubt-driven-development

Subjects every non-trivial decision to a fresh-context adversarial review before it stands. Use when correctness matters more than speed, when working in unfamiliar code, when stakes are high (production, security-sensitive logic, irreversible operations), or any time a confident output would be cheaper to verify now than to debug later.

Quality

Content

92%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The skill body is highly actionable, lean, and well-sequenced with strong validation and feedback loops. Its one real weakness is that it cites bundle files (references/orchestration-patterns.md, agents/) that do not exist in the bundle.

Suggestions

Create references/orchestration-patterns.md (or remove the citation) so the body's repeated reference to 'references/orchestration-patterns.md' resolves to a real file.

Either provide the agents/ roster it points to or replace 'see agents/ for the roster' with inline guidance, so Step 3's reviewer selection is self-contained.

Trim the repeated 'Skipping is fine; silent skipping is not' phrasing across the cross-model section to tighten conciseness.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body assumes Claude's competence and avoids explaining basics; every section (CLAIM/EXTRACT/DOUBT/RECONCILE/STOP) earns its tokens. Minor repetition in the cross-model section keeps it just at the lean anchor rather than above it.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides a verbatim adversarial prompt, a copy-paste checklist, concrete bash invocations with stdin piping to avoid shell escaping, and a precedence-ordered classification scheme — fully executable guidance.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The five-step process is clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints (re-read artifact before classifying), a bounded loop with stop conditions, escalation after 3 cycles, and a final verification checklist.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The body references references/orchestration-patterns.md and agents/ as if they exist, but neither bundle path is present in the skill directory — these broken references prevent the one-level-deep navigation the top anchor requires.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is concise, third-person, and clearly answers both what the skill does and when to apply it with natural trigger phrasing. It carves a distinct niche and avoids fluff or over-claims.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Subjects every non-trivial decision to a fresh-context adversarial review before it stands" names a single concrete action with a specific mechanism, matching the 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

It explicitly states both what it does (subjects decisions to adversarial review) and when to use it via an explicit "Use when..." clause, satisfying both halves.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

"Use when correctness matters more than speed, when working in unfamiliar code, when stakes are high (production, security-sensitive logic, irreversible operations)" gives broad natural-language trigger coverage a user would actually say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The "fresh-context adversarial review" niche and explicit contrast with /review make it clearly distinguishable and unlikely to trigger for the wrong skill.
