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.
The body is a well-structured overview that practices good progressive disclosure: distilled HIG-specific principles inline, with genuine detail correctly split into three verified one-level-deep reference files and a clearly defined output format. Its weaknesses are token waste on generic UX principles and a content-free "When to Use" boilerplate section, and a workflow whose steps are scattered across sections rather than presented as an explicit sequence.
Suggestions
Delete the boilerplate "When to Use" section after the footer ("This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.") — it conveys no information.
Trim principles that restate generic UX knowledge Claude already has (search-as-you-type feedback, empty states, "place search where users expect it") and merge the two overlapping search principles (1 and 8), keeping only HIG-specific rules.
Assemble the scattered steps into one explicit ordered workflow (check apple-design-context.md → ask the four questions → read the relevant reference file → produce the three-part output) so the sequence does not have to be inferred.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly lean (one-line principles, a compact reference table), but several principles restate generic UX knowledge Claude already has ("Show results as the user types", "Place search fields where users expect them", the empty-state principle), and the trailing "When to Use" section — "This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview" — is content-free boilerplate placed after the attribution footer. This is more than anchor 4's "minor instances of over-explanation" but well short of anchor 2's heavy padding. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | For an advisory skill the guidance is concrete and executable: an explicit context-check instruction ("Check for .claude/apple-design-context.md before asking questions"), specific HIG rules ("top of list, toolbar/navigation bar", "Show current page and total count", "Command-F and system search shortcuts should activate search"), a defined three-part output format, and four concrete discovery questions. It falls short of anchor 5 because there is no worked example of the recommended output and the body defers most specifics to the reference files. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | An operating sequence exists in pieces — check the context file, ask the four clarifying questions, consult the relevant reference file, then produce the three-part output — but it is never assembled into an explicit ordered workflow; the reader must infer the order from scattered thematic sections. This matches anchor 3 ("sequence present but checkpoints missing or implicit"); no destructive or batch operations are involved, so the workflow-clarity cap does not apply. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The ~60-line overview inlines only the distilled HIG principles and delegates detail to three real, substantial reference files (40–189 lines each, verified to exist), surfaced through a well-labeled Reference Index table with topic and key-content columns. References are one level deep and clearly signaled, matching anchor 5 ("clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references; content appropriately split; easy navigation"). | 5 / 5 |
