The body is a well-structured, actionable study-design framework with strong progressive disclosure through 10 clearly signaled reference modules. Its main weakness is redundancy across the boundary-enforcement sections, and slightly missing explicit feedback loops in the workflow.
Suggestions
Consolidate the repeated boundary/claim rules: keep one authoritative 'Hard Rules' section and have 'Important Distinctions', 'What This Skill Should Not Do', and 'Quality Standard' reference it instead of restating the same constraints.
Add an explicit validate→fix→retry feedback loop in the validation section (e.g., 'if a go/no-go gate fails, return to Step 4 and re-tier the affected evidence layer before proceeding').
Move the lengthy A–L output structure details into a reference module (e.g., references/09-output-section-rules.md) and keep only the section list inline, tightening the overview.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is decision-oriented rather than padded with basics, but the same boundaries are restated across 'Important Distinctions', 'Hard Rules', 'What This Skill Should Not Do', and 'Quality Standard', creating notable redundancy that could be tightened. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | It gives concrete, executable guidance: an 8-step Execution Logic, a mandatory A–L output structure with per-section requirements, an explicit DESeq2/limma rule, and enumerated prioritization and validation dimensions — minor gaps only because it stays at framing rather than copy-paste detail. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 8-step sequence is clearly ordered with go/no-go gates (Section H) and a Step 8 risk audit, but there is no explicit validate→fix→retry feedback loop, leaving a minor validation gap. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | SKILL.md is a clear overview that points to 10 one-level-deep reference files, each signaled with a 'Use to/Use when' description, and all referenced files exist in ./references/, giving easy navigation with no nesting. | 5 / 5 |
