78%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 skill body with exemplary progressive disclosure via the external-files routing table. The main deductions are the nonexistent tests/data paths in the smoke check, output verification absent as a workflow checkpoint, and a few low-value sections (Methods restatement, Implementation Checklist, version footer).
Suggestions
Fix the smoke-check paths or ship the test data: the Testing section invokes `tests/data/expression_matrix.csv` and `tests/data/groups.csv`, but no `tests/` directory exists in the bundle (despite the checklist claiming 'Test data provided'), so the command fails as written.
Fold output verification into the workflow: add an explicit Step 5 checkpoint (e.g., inspect `Cluster_res.csv` for the `is_best` row and confirm the plot PDFs exist) instead of leaving validation only in the separate Testing section.
Trim low-yield sections: the Methods restatement of standard ConsensusClusterPlus/PAC behavior, the Implementation Checklist (build meta-commentary), and the 'Last updated | Version' footer add tokens without usage value.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and table-driven (arguments, input formats, outputs, error codes) with almost no padding, but a few tokens don't earn their place: the Methods section restates standard ConsensusClusterPlus behavior ("Repeated subsampling is used to estimate cluster stability"), the Implementation Checklist is meta-commentary about the build rather than usage guidance, and a "Last updated: 2026-04-17 | Version" footer adds time-sensitive noise. Not anchor 5 because of these trims; well above anchor 3 since there is no real over-explanation of concepts Claude already knows. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Commands are fully executable and copy-paste ready: a complete Usage invocation, an argument table with types/defaults, three flag-varying examples, and validation commands. The gap: the smoke check references `tests/data/expression_matrix.csv` and `tests/data/groups.csv`, but no `tests/` directory exists in the bundle, so that command fails as written — a minor gap that keeps it below the fully-executable anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Four sequenced steps (Validate Input → Prepare Matrix → Run Clustering → Generate Outputs) with an explicit validation step up front, an error-code table routing recovery, and testing/validation commands for outputs. Anchor 5 is not met because output verification lives only in the Testing section rather than as an explicit checkpoint in the workflow, and the workflow bullets describe rather than instruct (e.g., "Evaluate supported distance and clustering algorithm combinations" without naming the combinations). | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A "When to Read External Files" routing table maps each situation to exactly the right bundle file, and all four referenced paths (`references/algorithm.md`, `scripts/main.R`, `references/troubleshooting.md`, `references/cli-guide.md`) exist one level deep. The body stays an overview while details live in references and scripts — this matches the anchor-5 structure. | 5 / 5 |
