71%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-built instructional skill body: lean, concrete, and sequenced, with executable script hooks and a precise per-question output template. The main gaps are missing argument details in workflow commands, no explicit validation/error-recovery checkpoints, and two of three reference files left unlinked from the entry point.
Suggestions
Link references/forcing_question_patterns.md and references/when_to_stop_grilling.md from SKILL.md (e.g., in the Tooling or Rules section) so all bundle references are discoverable from the entry point.
Show argument syntax for the script invocations, e.g. `python scripts/decision_tree_extractor.py <plan.md>` and the tracker's `start <session_name>`, so the workflow steps are copy-paste executable.
Add an explicit checkpoint after extraction/generation (e.g., what to do when zero branches are found) and a resume path for an interrupted session.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes competence — five terse rules, a six-step workflow, and a compact output template with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows. Not 5, because provenance is stated twice (opening blockquote plus the trailing "Version/Derived" footer) and minor editorial padding ("Defaulting to 'what do you think?' is lazy.", "Saves a turn.") could be trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, runnable commands are given ("Run scripts/decision_tree_extractor.py", "scripts/grill_session_tracker.py --action start") plus an exact output pattern template, and all referenced scripts exist in the bundle. Not 5, because the invocations are not copy-paste ready — no argument syntax is shown for passing the plan doc to the extractor or generator, and the tracker's session-name argument is omitted. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The six-step sequence (provide plan → extract branches → generate questions → start session → walk tree recording answers → report) is clearly ordered with an explicit terminal condition ("When all branches resolved"). Not 5, because there are no explicit validation checkpoints or error-recovery loops — e.g., what to do if the extractor finds no branches or the session needs resuming mid-grill. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Structure is decent: the overview stays in SKILL.md and tooling detail is offloaded to a clearly signaled, one-level-deep reference ([references/companion_tooling.md]). But scored against the actual bundle, two of the three reference files (forcing_question_patterns.md, when_to_stop_grilling.md) are never mentioned anywhere in SKILL.md or the linked reference, leaving them buried and undiscoverable. Not 4, because unreferenced bundle files are more than a minor organization gap. | 3 / 5 |
