71%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 brief, well-structured skill body with a clear two-step workflow appropriate for a simple single-purpose tool. Its main weakness is actionability: tools are named but never shown how to invoke, with no arguments or examples.
Suggestions
Add an executable example showing how to call `analyze_data` and `write_summary`, including key arguments and expected output format.
Replace the role opener "You are a data analysis assistant" with a direct capability statement to remove padding.
Add a brief verification note for `write_summary` (e.g., confirm the file path before overwriting) to add a validation checkpoint.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean — a short numbered workflow and one closing line — with only minor over-explanation in the role opener "You are a data analysis assistant"; not a 5 because that role line is mild padding Claude does not need. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Names the specific tools (`analyze_data`, `write_summary`) and their outputs (count, sum, min, max, average), but gives no invocation syntax, arguments, or executable example, leaving key details missing; not a 4 because the guidance is not copy-paste executable, and not a 2 because it does point to concrete tools. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear two-step numbered sequence with a conditional second step ("if the user asks") is well-ordered for a simple skill; not a 5 because there is no validation/checkpoint and write_summary could overwrite a file, but the operation is low-risk so the simple-skill exception keeps it above 3. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A short, well-organized single-heading skill under 50 lines with no need for external references, satisfying the simple-skill exception that allows a 5 with clean section organization and no nested references. | 5 / 5 |
