85%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, lean body with an executable example, a clear two-step workflow, and correct use of a one-level-deep reference file. The main improvements are removing the redundant 'Implementation Details' section and fixing the search example to unpack the actual response structure.
Suggestions
Fix the example loop to iterate the actual results list (e.g., 'for i, item in enumerate(results['studies'], start=1)') instead of the raw response dict, and show accessing concrete fields like item['protocolSection']['identificationModule']['nctId'].
Trim or merge the 'Implementation Details' section, since it restates the search parameters from 'Key Features' and duplicates content already in references/api_reference.md.
Add brief error-handling guidance (e.g., that the functions return None on request failure, and the API's ~50 requests/minute rate limit) so users can validate calls beyond the happy path.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient with no filler explaining known concepts, but the 'Implementation Details' section restates the search parameters ('condition', 'status', 'limit') already covered in 'Key Features' and largely duplicates references/api_reference.md, so a section could be trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | The example is copy-paste runnable and matches the real script's functions, but 'for i, item in enumerate(results, ...)' iterates the raw JSON response dict rather than results['studies'], and it hedges with 'The exact keys depend on the API fields returned by the implementation' instead of showing concrete field access. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | For this simple, read-only skill the two-step sequence ('# 1) Search studies' then '# 2) Get study details by NCT ID') is explicit and unambiguous, and 'When to Use' maps each scenario to the right action; no destructive or batch operations exist to require validation checkpoints. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a concise overview that defers advanced query parameters and field definitions to references/api_reference.md (a real, one-level-deep, well-signaled file), and the referenced scripts/query_clinicaltrials.py exists at the documented path. | 5 / 5 |
