81%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, highly actionable protocol document with exact payloads, paths, and status enums, plus explicit failure-recovery loops for every risky step. The main improvement areas are minor redundancy and the absence of a concrete example for the request_attention/report_progress actions.
Suggestions
Add copy-paste JSON examples for the report_progress and request_attention actions, matching the fidelity of the ack_task and submit_task examples.
Consolidate the repeated boundary rules (shared/projects ownership, result.md-before-submit) into a single 'Boundaries' note to trim redundancy.
Consider moving the submission-identity/digest/retry edge-case detail (about 40 lines in the Submit section) into a one-level-deep reference file to shorten the main body.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense with non-obvious protocol facts (submission_id as an opaque fence, digest inputs, retry semantics, legacy-task rules) and assumes competence rather than explaining basics, but there is minor repetition that could be trimmed — e.g., 'Do not include shared/projects/... paths in deliverables' and the result.md-before-submit guidance each appear in multiple sections. This fits the 4 anchor ('Efficient; minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed') better than 3, since most tokens carry information Claude could not infer. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | The ack_task and submit_task JSON payloads are copy-paste ready, file paths are exact, and the status enum and completion-line formats are given verbatim. Minor gaps remain: the 'report_progress' and 'request_attention' actions describe payloads ("a short note, ≤ 200 chars", "payload: kind, question") without a concrete example, matching the 4 anchor ('Mostly executable guidance... minor gaps') rather than the 5 anchor's fully covered common cases. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Sections run in execution order (Acknowledge → Execute → Submit → Completion) with explicit error-recovery loops: ack failure ('If ack_task fails... stop and report the blocker'), blockers ('If blocked, submit a BLOCKED result instead of silently waiting'), interrupted sync ('retry with exactly the same status, summary, and ordered deliverables'), and artifact verification ('Check publishedArtifacts in the tool result for published, skipped, or failed artifact status'). These feedback loops match the 5 anchor's 'explicit validation steps; feedback loops for error recovery'. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist, and the ~200-line body is well organized under clear section headers (Task Directory, Acknowledge, Execute, Submit, Completion Message) with no nested references — matching the 4 anchor ('Good structure; most content is appropriately placed'). It falls short of 5 because the skill exceeds 50 lines and the deep edge-case material (digest semantics, retry rules, legacy-task adoption) could plausibly live in a one-level-deep reference file. | 4 / 5 |
