78%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.
A well-structured router skill: lean prose, a concrete routing table, an executable audit command with explicit exit-code validation semantics, and correct use of a single one-level-deep reference file for the role contract. The main improvements are merging the redundant activation sections and spelling out post-routing invocation plus audit failure-handling steps.
Suggestions
Merge the overlapping 'When to Activate' and 'When to Use' sections (and the repeated non-goals in 'Boundaries') into one activation section to tighten conciseness.
Add one or two concrete next-step instructions for the routing outcome — e.g., how to invoke the selected capability skill once chosen — to close the actionability gap after 'Select one smallest matching capability'.
Add a short failure-handling step after the audit invocation (e.g., what to inspect or report when exit code is 1) to give the workflow an explicit feedback loop rather than only 'Report failures, warnings, and ownership gaps'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows, but the 'When to Activate' and 'When to Use' sections duplicate each other ('Do not activate for a narrowly named skill...' vs 'For a direct ADR or regression request, invoke that specialized skill without routing through this one') and the Boundaries section repeats the intro's non-goals. This matches anchor 4 (minor instances that could be trimmed) rather than the every-token-earns-its-place ideal of anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | The intent-to-skill routing table and the concrete command 'python3 <docs-governance-skill>/scripts/audit-docs.py --root <repository> --scope full' with enumerated exit codes (0/1/2) provide mostly executable guidance. Minor gaps — 'Resolve the selected skill directory first' and routing-table targets are given without invocation mechanics — keep it at anchor 4 rather than fully copy-paste-ready anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | 'How It Works' gives a clear 5-step sequence and the audit section defines explicit exit-code checkpoints and warning semantics, satisfying most of anchor 4. It is not anchor 5 because there is no error-recovery loop beyond 'Report failures, warnings, and ownership gaps' and no guidance on what happens after a capability is selected. The destructive/batch cap does not apply since the audit is explicitly read-only. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a clear overview that pushes role-resolution detail into a single, clearly signaled, one-level-deep reference ([the artifact-role contract](references/artifact-role-contract.md), verified to exist and to contain the role registry) and keeps scripts bundled under scripts/. The routing table and audit semantics that belong inline stay inline, matching anchor 5's clear overview with well-signaled references. | 5 / 5 |
