46%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 core seaborn content — usage triggers, executable tri-example code, and parameter-level implementation notes — is high quality, but it is buried under ~90 lines of generic validation/output boilerplate that is irrelevant to a plotting library. Worse, the three bundled reference files are never referenced from the body, so the skill's progressive-disclosure structure is effectively invisible to a reader.
Suggestions
Delete the generic boilerplate sections (Required Inputs, Recommended Workflow, Deterministic Output Rules, Output Contract, Validation and Safety Rules, Failure Handling, Completion Checklist, Quick Validation, Scope Reminder) — they are template filler with no seaborn-specific content and roughly double the token cost.
Add explicit links to the existing bundle files where they add depth, e.g. under Implementation Details: 'Full function reference: references/function_reference.md; more worked examples: references/examples.md; declarative seaborn.objects interface: references/objects_interface.md'.
Remove the misleading output contract (seaborn_result.md, PASS/FAIL validation summary) — a visualization skill's deliverable is a plot, and this pseudo-workflow conflicts with the actual Example Usage guidance.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The seaborn-specific half (When to Use, Key Features, Example Usage, Implementation Details) is tight and useful, but roughly half the body is generic template boilerplate with no seaborn relevance: "A clearly specified task goal aligned with the documented scope", "Return a structured deliverable that is directly usable without reformatting", "Keep output safe, reproducible, and within the documented scope at all times". Several padded sections that earn no tokens place this at anchor 2 rather than the mostly-efficient anchor 3. | 2 / 5 |
Actionability | The Example Usage section is fully executable, copy-paste-ready code covering the three main use cases (semantic scatterplot, faceted catplot, correlation heatmap), and Implementation Details names concrete parameters (`estimator=`, `errorbar=`, `bw_adjust=`, `bins=`, `multiple=`). It falls short of anchor 5 only because surrounding sections like "Select the documented execution path and prefer the simplest supported command" are vague filler rather than executable guidance. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The real usage path (When to Use → Example → Implementation Details) is unambiguous for a simple library skill, but the "Recommended Workflow" and "Output Contract" sections describe an inapplicable file-deliverable process ("seaborn_result.md", "Validation summary: PASS/FAIL") that misleads rather than sequences anything. No destructive or batch operations are involved, so no hard cap applies, but the contradictory pseudo-workflow leaves sequence clarity at anchor 3. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Three substantial bundle files exist (references/examples.md, references/function_reference.md, references/objects_interface.md — including a whole seaborn.objects guide) yet the body never mentions or links any of them, and API-detail content that belongs in them is instead inlined in Implementation Details. References that exist but are completely unsignaled match anchor 2 ('references are buried' / content that belongs in separate files is inlined), not anchor 3's 'references present but not clearly signaled'. | 2 / 5 |
