50%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-structured, instruction-only planning skill with a clear workflow and a concrete output template. It is held at level 2 across dimensions by mild motivational padding, the absence of a worked example, implicit validation checkpoints, and no progressive disclosure to its own supporting files.
Suggestions
Add a short worked example (a filled CAPABILITY/CONSTRAINTS/IMPLEMENTATION CONTRACT block) to make the output format copy-paste concrete and lift actionability.
Insert an explicit verification checkpoint in the workflow (e.g., 'Confirm every OPEN QUESTION is either resolved or marked as a blocker before handoff') to strengthen workflow clarity.
Trim editorial asides ('The goal is not...', 'These are the things that often live only in senior-engineer memory', 'If this statement is weak, the implementation will drift') for conciseness.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient structured guidance, but editorial asides like 'The goal is not to create another planning stack... reusable', 'These are the things that often live only in senior-engineer memory', and 'If this statement is weak, the implementation will drift' are motivational padding that could be trimmed. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides a concrete output-format template and enumerated checklists plus named handoff lanes, but there is no worked example and the workflow steps are category lists rather than fully specific guidance. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear four-step sequence (Restate, Resolve constraints, Define contract, Translate into execution) is present, but validation checkpoints are only implicit via the final handoff classification with no explicit verify/feedback step. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Sections are well-organized, but ~135 lines live inline in a single file with no own bundle files; the only reference is an external repo template path (docs/examples/product-capability-template.md), so there is no one-level-deep progressive disclosure to supporting files. | 2 / 3 |
