53%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 concise, well-intentioned decision hub with a clear selective-reading map, checklist, and anti-patterns, but it is hollow in practice: every reference file it points to is missing from the bundle, no concrete selection criteria or examples are inlined to compensate, and the "When to Use" section is boilerplate filler.
Suggestions
Create the six advertised reference files (database-selection.md, orm-selection.md, schema-design.md, indexing.md, optimization.md, migrations.md) in a references/ directory, or remove the content-map table if the detail is not shipped.
Inlines some concrete decision guidance (e.g., a short database-selection criteria list or example schema snippet) so the skill is actionable even before references are loaded.
Delete the boilerplate "When to Use" sentence ("This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.") or replace it with a genuine trigger/usage description.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean with no explanatory padding of known concepts; the checklist and anti-patterns are terse and directive. It is not 5 because the "When to Use" section is contentless boilerplate ("This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.") and the motivational tagline adds tokens without guidance. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Some concrete guidance exists (the decision checklist's specific questions and anti-patterns like "Don't default to PostgreSQL for simple apps (SQLite may suffice)"), but there are no decision criteria, commands, or examples for actually choosing a database/ORM — the specifics are delegated to reference files that don't exist in the bundle. This matches 'some concrete guidance but incomplete; missing key details' rather than 4's 'concrete code or commands with minor gaps'. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The pre-design checklist implies a reasonable sequence (ask preferences, choose database, consider environment, plan indexes, define relationships), but there are no validation checkpoints, and the rubric notes feedback loops matter for database operations. It is not 2 because the steps are reasonably defined rather than rough, and not 4 because verification steps are absent entirely. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content-map table is well-formed in shape, but scored against the actual bundle none of the six advertised reference files (database-selection.md, orm-selection.md, schema-design.md, indexing.md, optimization.md, migrations.md) exist — there is no references/ directory at all. The body is effectively a hub pointing to nonexistent detail, which fails disclosure in practice and matches the 'minimal structure' anchor rather than the 'references present but not clearly signaled' anchor at 3. | 2 / 5 |
