73%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 routing skill with an exemplary ordered workflow and explicit validation/feedback loops for destructive operations. The main weakness is redundancy — several safety rules are restated across sections, and the SDK API surface could be split into a reference file.
Suggestions
Consolidate each safety rule into one authoritative location and cross-reference it: the no-retry rule, read-back requirements, and UUID-visibility rules each currently appear in two or three sections.
Move the full host.agents method reference into a one-level-deep references/ file (e.g. references/sdk.md), keeping only the routing decision and workflow in SKILL.md.
Add one worked example with real values for host.agents.create (including skillNames/connectorNames) and a sample update patch to make the guidance fully copy-paste ready.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The prose is dense and imperative with no padding about concepts Claude already knows, but several rules are stated two or three times: 'Do not automatically retry declined or stale privileged operations' appears in both the runtime section and the revision section, read-back rules are repeated in the workflow and again under 'Read-back and reporting', and UUID-visibility guidance appears in both the SDK section and its own dedicated section. Mostly efficient but could be consolidated into a single authoritative statement per rule. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance throughout: a full method list with signatures ('host.agents.update(name, patch)', 'host.agents.delete(name, { revision })'), the create object's field list, a concrete decline record ('{ status: "declined", operation: "switch" }'), and explicit error prefixes. It falls short of copy-paste-ready because the create code block is a bare field list rather than a worked example with real values, and no sample update patch is shown. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 7-step workflow ('Understand scope' through 'Read-back') is clearly sequenced with explicit validation: step 7 mandates re-reading state with get(name), delete verification via list or an expected not-found get, and the stale-revision section defines a full feedback loop (re-read, rebuild the complete draft, ask for confirmation again). Destructive and privileged operations all have matching verification and confirmation checkpoints. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist, and the body is well-organized into clearly headed sections with no nested or buried references; routing skill-authoring work to the internal skill-creator via host.skills.read('skill-creator') is itself good disclosure behavior. It sits at 4 rather than 5 because the ~200-line body inlines the entire host.agents API surface, which could live in a one-level-deep reference file. | 4 / 5 |
