76%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 content is a strong, self-contained reference: fully executable XML examples, actionable version-specific best practices, and honest Limitations that scope the skill. The weakest areas are the missing validation checkpoint in the generation workflow and slight padding in the Overview/How-It-Works sections, plus being modestly over the size where a single file is automatically ideal.
Suggestions
Add an explicit validation step to the workflow, e.g. "After generating: upgrade the module (`-u module_name`) and render the report once to verify layout before delivering" — its absence is what holds workflow clarity at 3.
Trim the Overview restatement of the description and the 'Activate' step under How It Works, which add tokens without adding guidance.
State where the XML lives (a data file registered in `__manifest__.py` `data` list) so the copy-paste example is complete end-to-end.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is efficient: complete XML examples, tight do/don't bullets with useful parenthetical specifics, and no re-explanation of concepts Claude already knows. Minor trimmable padding remains — the Overview sentence largely restates the frontmatter description, and the 'How It Works > Activate' step ("Mention @odoo-qweb-templates") is harness filler — placing it at anchor 4 rather than the every-token-earns-its-place level of 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Example 1 is a fully executable, copy-paste-ready ir.actions.report record plus complete QWeb template (t-call web.html_container/external_layout, t-foreach, t-field), and Example 2 gives a concrete conditional block; together with the specific best-practice notes (e.g., "Use t-out (Odoo 15+)... t-esc only on Odoo 14 and below") they cover the skill's declared common cases (PDF reports), matching anchor 5. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | "How It Works" lists a rough three-part sequence (Activate → Generate → Debug), and the Debug step gestures at error recovery, but there are no validation checkpoints (e.g., upgrade the module and render the report to verify output before finishing) — steps listed with implicit checkpoints matches anchor 3 rather than anchor 4's 'most checkpoints present'. This is not a destructive/batch operation, so the forced cap does not apply, but it still cannot reach 4. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body has clean, well-labeled sections (When to Use, How It Works, Examples, Best Practices, Limitations) with no buried or nested references — and no bundle files exist, so there are no broken or deep reference chains. However, at roughly 88 lines it exceeds the 'under 50 lines' simple-skill threshold that would let well-organized sections alone score 5, and the examples/best-practices could arguably be split out; anchor 4's 'good structure; minor organization gaps' is the best fit. | 4 / 5 |
