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 well-organized catalog of architecture and code-style rules with several concrete thresholds and named examples, but it restates textbook Clean Architecture/DDD concepts Claude already knows, lacks code examples, and defines no real workflow despite a 'When to Use' section that references one. It is a competent rules sheet that would benefit from tighter prose and executable illustration.
Suggestions
Trim textbook restatements of Clean Architecture/DDD principles and the 'every line of code is a liability' platitude to assume Claude's existing knowledge.
Add a short executable code example contrasting a generic 'utils.js' dump against a domain-named module to make the naming guidance concrete.
Either describe an actual review workflow with sequenced steps and a validation checkpoint (e.g. 'list violations → propose refactor → confirm no behavior change'), or remove the circular 'When to Use' reference to a non-existent workflow.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient bullet form, but sections re-explain textbook concepts Claude already knows (Clean Architecture/DDD tenets like 'Separate domain entities from infrastructure concerns', NIH syndrome, and the platitude 'Every line of custom code is a liability'); not a 2 because it is organized bullets rather than padded prose, not a 4 because the principle restatements are unnecessary. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Some concrete, specific guidance is present (line thresholds '80 lines', '200 lines', '50 lines', 'max 3 levels', named library 'cockatiel', example class 'OrderCalculator'), but there are no code examples and much is abstract directive ('Follow domain-driven design', 'Define use cases clearly'); not a 4 because key execution detail and examples are missing for an instruction skill. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | There is no multi-step workflow — the body is a rules/principles catalog organized by topic, and 'When to Use' circularly references 'the workflow or actions described in the overview' which does not exist; not a 2 because the rule sections are clearly organized, not a 4 because no sequence or checkpoints are provided and the 'When to Use' pointer is hollow. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Good structure with clear headers (General Principles, Best Practices, Architecture and Design, Anti-Patterns, Code Quality, When to Use) and self-contained content with no nested or buried references; not a 5 because at ~73 lines it exceeds the simple-skill threshold and some anti-pattern examples could live in a reference file, not a 3 because organization is solid and nothing is mis-placed. | 4 / 5 |
