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.
A well-crafted, compact instruction skill: concise, concrete, and clearly organized into actionable sections with a usable subject-line template and audience-specific tone rules, with no wasted tokens.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean — roughly twelve lines, no padding, no explaining concepts Claude already knows (it never defines what an email is), and every line carries actionable guidance, so every token earns its place. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | It gives concrete, executable guidance: a five-part structure, a copy-paste subject-line template ('[Action needed] Deadline for X by Friday'), explicit tone rules per audience, and a concrete length rule ('One screen or less'). For an instruction-only skill this is actionable without needing code. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The composition process is a clear five-step sequence (subject, opening, body, ask, closing); this is a simple, non-destructive single task, so the simple-skills note applies and the unambiguous sequence scores full marks without requiring validation checkpoints. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under fifty lines, needs no external references, and is organized into clearly labeled sections (Structure, Tone calibration, Length), satisfying the small-skill exception for progressive disclosure. | 3 / 3 |
