61%Scale 1-5Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a reasonably well-structured but somewhat generic skill for answering codebase questions. Its main strengths are clear formatting guidelines and a concise procedure, but it lacks concrete examples of tool usage, search strategies, or sample Q&A pairs that would make it truly actionable. The duplicate 'When to Use' section and some unnecessary rules ('Think step by step') slightly reduce quality.
Suggestions
Add a concrete example showing a sample question, the search/read tool calls used, and the expected response format with citations
Remove the duplicate 'When to Use' section at the end and the 'Think step by step' rule which Claude doesn't need to be told
Add guidance on which search tools/commands to use (e.g., grep, find, ripgrep) and strategies for narrowing results when initial searches are too broad
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient with minimal unnecessary explanation. The duplicate 'When to Use' section at the end is wasteful, and the 'Think step by step before answering' rule is unnecessary for Claude. Otherwise lean. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides a clear procedure and response format guidelines, but lacks concrete examples of searches, specific tool usage commands, or example input/output. The guidance is instructional but not executable in the way code examples would be. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are listed in sequence (detect language, search, read, synthesize) but there are no validation checkpoints. No guidance on what to do if search yields no results mid-workflow, and no feedback loop for verifying answer accuracy against sources. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a simple skill under 50 lines with no bundle files, the content is well-organized with clear section headers (When to Use, Procedure, Response Format, Rules). The structure is appropriate for the skill's complexity, though the duplicate 'When to Use' section slightly hurts organization. | 4 / 5 |
