Quality

Content

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a lean, highly actionable playbook with a clear six-step workflow, copy-paste templates, and built-in bias-guardrails. It stays self-contained without bloating context with concepts Claude already knows.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Lean throughout: no explaining what a subagent is or restating concepts Claude knows, and every section earns its place with prescriptive, signal-dense guidance.	3 / 3
Actionability	Provides copy-paste-ready subagent and verdict prompt templates plus explicit per-step instructions (e.g. 'launch as fresh subagents with only the question and relevant context'), leaving nothing abstract.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Six numbered workflow steps are clearly sequenced with a validation checkpoint (form the Architect position first as an anti-anchoring guard) and explicit feedback rules in the synthesis step.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	No bundle files exist, so the single self-contained SKILL.md is appropriately organized into well-labeled sections with one-level-deep inline references to sibling skills — fitting the simple-skill carve-out.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is concise, third-person, and clearly answers both what the skill does and when to use it, with natural trigger terms. It carves a distinct niche unlikely to collide with sibling skills.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names multiple concrete actions — 'Convene a four-voice council', structured disagreement, and go/no-go calls — rather than vague language.	3 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly states what it does ('Convene a four-voice council') and when to use it ('Use when multiple valid paths exist and you need structured disagreement before choosing').	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural phrases a user would say — 'ambiguous decisions', 'tradeoffs', 'go/no-go calls', 'second opinions' — giving good coverage of likely request phrasings.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The 'structured disagreement before choosing' niche is distinct from verification, planning, or review skills, and the body explicitly routes those cases elsewhere, lowering conflict risk.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
