70%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 an efficient, well-sequenced instruction set with genuinely strong validation feedback loops around CONTEXT.md and ADR edits. Its main defect is that the two format specifications the skill repeatedly tells the reader to use are missing from the bundle, which simultaneously weakens actionability and leaves two dangling references in an otherwise clean progressive-disclosure structure.
Suggestions
Add the missing CONTEXT-FORMAT.md and ADR-FORMAT.md to the skill bundle (or fix the links to their actual locations) so the 'Use the format in...' instructions are followable.
Alternatively, inline a minimal format sketch (a 3-5 line template for each) in SKILL.md so the core write tasks remain actionable even if the full format files are unavailable.
Verify the companion paths (../../agents/cs-grill-with-docs.md and ../../commands/cs-grill-with-docs.md) resolve in the installed layout, since a third broken path would further degrade navigation.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is a lean instruction set ('Create files lazily — only when you have something to write', the three-criteria ADR gate, 'one question per turn') with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows; only minor non-operational tokens remain (the attribution blockquote, the version footer, and two ASCII directory trees), fitting anchor 4's 'efficient; minor instances that could be trimmed' rather than anchor 5's every-token-earns-its-place. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | It provides exact executable commands ('Run scripts/context_md_linter.py CONTEXT.md', 'glossary_code_consistency.py --context CONTEXT.md --code src/'), but both central write instructions point at files that do not exist in the bundle ('Use the format in [CONTEXT-FORMAT.md](./CONTEXT-FORMAT.md)' and '[ADR-FORMAT.md](./ADR-FORMAT.md)'), leaving key details unavailable — anchor 3's 'concrete guidance but incomplete; missing key details' rather than anchor 4's minor gaps. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The three-phase workflow (pre-flight validators, in-session rules with immediate edits, closing verification) has explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops: 're-run context_md_linter.py if the edit is structural', 're-run adr_scanner.py to confirm numbering', and 'Final glossary_code_consistency.py run to confirm no new orphan terms were introduced' — matching anchor 5's clear sequence with explicit validation and error-recovery loops. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The references/ files (3 real, one level deep, each with a one-line role description) and the scripts table are well signaled, but two load-bearing referenced paths — ./CONTEXT-FORMAT.md and ./ADR-FORMAT.md — dangle (absent from the bundle), breaking navigation exactly where the skill's output formats live; this sits between anchor 3 and anchor 4, and the broken central references pull it down to 3. | 3 / 5 |
