77%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.
The body is a well-structured, actionable instruction-only skill with excellent workflow sequencing, validation checkpoints, and clean progressive disclosure into verified reference files. Its main weakness is conciseness: the Hard Rules and "What This Skill Should Not Do" sections substantially duplicate content already present in the execution steps.
Suggestions
Consolidate the 13 Hard Rules into the steps that already state them (e.g., merge Rule 11 into Step 7, Rule 8 into Step 3.5, Rule 3 into Step 4), or replace the Hard Rules list with a short cross-reference rather than restating each rule.
Merge "What This Skill Should Not Do" into the existing Input Validation out-of-scope section and Hard Rules, since it largely reiterates both; keep only items that add genuinely new anti-patterns.
Tighten Step 6's section A-J descriptions, which repeat scope concepts already covered in Steps 1-5, to a one-line template per section.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly directive and free of basic-concept over-explanation, but contains substantial structural redundancy: the 13 Hard Rules restate guidance already in the steps (e.g., DESeq2/limma in Step 7 and Rule 11; never-fabricate in Step 3.5 and Rule 8; traceability in Step 4 and Rule 3) and "What This Skill Should Not Do" largely reiterates the Hard Rules and out-of-scope section. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, actionable guidance for an instruction-only skill: a 7-step ordered workflow, a pattern-selection table with explicit "when to use" criteria, specific method rules (count data → DESeq2, non-count normalized → limma), defined output sections A-J, and numeric retrieval targets (2-4 gap-background, 1-2 method refs). Minor execution detail (8-field template, module library) is deferred to references rather than fully specified inline. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear ordered 7-step sequence ("always run in order") with explicit mandatory checkpoints (Step 3.5, Step 4, Step 7), a dependency-check checklist in Step 4, and a feedback loop ("If any inconsistency is found, revise the plan before outputting"). This is not a destructive/batch skill, so the validation cap does not apply. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Body serves as a well-organized overview that splits detail into 9 real one-level-deep reference files, each clearly signaled with an arrow marker (e.g., "→ Detailed pattern logic: [references/gap-to-design-patterns.md]"). All referenced paths verified to exist; navigation is easy and nothing is nested beyond one level. | 5 / 5 |
