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-engineered skill body: lean, assumption-respecting prose; concrete and verifiable commands; a clearly sequenced three-path workflow with a thorough QC checklist; and exemplary progressive disclosure with real one-level-deep reference files. Remaining improvements are small: inline example values for the citation converter's style flags and per-step validation for destructive DOCX edits.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and instructional with no padding of concepts Claude already knows — branching logic, constraints, and commands occupy nearly every line. A few spots could be trimmed (C3's justification of why Zotero/EndNote engines produce better results, the source attribution line), keeping it just below the lean-every-token-earns-its-place anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, verifiable guidance throughout: script invocations with real flags (scripts/remove_heading_numbers.py <input> <output>, convert_ref_format.py --ref-list-style / --style / --range-joiner / --group-separator), specific python-docx directives (para.runs, font.name, paragraph_format, only modify w:rPr and w:pPr), and explicit Skill() handoffs. Minor gaps: no example values for --ref-list-style / --style options, and 'manually edit heading text' in B1 lacks a specific procedure. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear sequence runs from boundary definition and profile extraction through three input-format paths to a final QC checklist, with explicit checkpoints (field code detection, PMID marker integrity, file opens normally) and an error-handling section with fallbacks. It falls short of the top anchor because validation is end-of-process only (no validate-fix-retry loop per step for the destructive DOCX manipulation) and section numbering is inconsistent (0/1, then unnumbered Paths, then 4/5). | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | SKILL.md acts as a clear branching overview with well-signaled, one-level-deep references (references/style-profile-extraction.md, references/journal-format-extraction.md, references/rewriting-criteria.md — all verified to exist) and scripts, with detail appropriately pushed into those files. This matches the top anchor exactly. | 5 / 5 |
