100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The content is a tight, well-organized instruction skill that respects token budget, gives a concrete diagnostic decision tree, sequences the workflow with a pre-retry checkpoint, and needs no external references. It exemplifies the concise, actionable common-mistakes pattern.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and efficient with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every line (mistake pattern, fix, decision questions, anti-pattern) earns its place, matching the level-3 'lean and efficient' anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | For an instruction-only skill the guidance is concrete and actionable: a clear transient-vs-permanent decision tree with specific examples (network timeout, rate limit, wrong input, missing resource, permission denied) and directed actions; the scoring note confirms absence of code is not penalized when guidance is actionable, so this clears level 3 rather than stopping at the pseudocode level-2 anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The flow is clearly sequenced (fail -> read error -> diagnose -> classify transient/permanent -> act) with the diagnostic step acting as an explicit checkpoint before any retry; this is a simple single-purpose skill with no destructive/batch operations, so the missing-checkpoint cap does not apply and the simple-skill carve-out supports a 3. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | This is a sub-50-line single-purpose skill with no need for external references, and it is organized into clear labeled sections (Mistake pattern, Fix, Questions to ask, Anti-pattern); the simple-skills note allows a 3 from well-organized sections alone, and no nested/deep references exist to penalize it. | 3 / 3 |
