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 body is exceptionally token-efficient with concrete, field-level design rules, but it reads as a static checklist rather than an applicable workflow: no sequenced audit-to-benchmark loop, no validation checkpoints, and no worked examples. Structure is good for a single-file skill.
Suggestions
Add a short sequenced workflow (audit existing tools → apply action-space/observation rules → benchmark → iterate) so the guidance functions as a process with feedback rather than a static checklist.
Include one worked example contrasting a good tool definition/response shape with an anti-pattern to make the observation and action-space rules directly applicable.
Tie the Benchmarking metrics back into revision guidance (e.g., 'if retries per task rises, split the catch-all tool') to close the feedback loop.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is a lean, checklist-style reference with zero padding and no explanations of concepts Claude already knows (e.g., "Keep inputs schema-first and narrow", "Compact at phase boundaries, not arbitrary token thresholds"); every token earns its place. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is concrete and checkable — e.g., "Every tool response should include: `status`, `summary`, `next_actions`, `artifacts`" — but there are no worked examples (such as a good vs. bad tool definition) to anchor application, so it falls short of the fully executable 5 anchor while exceeding the pseudocode-level 3 anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Sections are organized by concern rather than as a sequenced process: there is no explicit apply workflow (audit existing tools → redesign → benchmark → iterate) and no feedback loop tying the "Benchmarking" metrics back into revision, matching the "steps listed but checkpoints missing" anchor. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist and the ~65-line body is well-sectioned, but it slightly exceeds the under-50-line simple-skill exception and material like architecture patterns and benchmarking could arguably be split into references, placing it just below the 5 anchor. | 4 / 5 |
