85%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 operational skill body: an explicit ten-step sequence with fail-fast validation, error-recovery paths, and a genuinely protective NEVER-SEND discipline, all backed by real, well-signaled reference files and scripts. The two sub-5 dimensions reflect trimmable repetition and missing in-body invocation lines for two scripts, not structural problems.
Suggestions
Trim the Invocation Triggers section (it duplicates the frontmatter description verbatim) and consolidate the NEVER-SEND repetitions to the DRAFTS-ONLY section, Critical Rules, and Anti-Patterns only — the remaining restatements add tokens without adding new force.
Add one-line invocations for scripts/kb_reader.py (e.g. '--workspace ${WORKSPACE}') and scripts/draft_safety_validator.py (e.g. '--action-log triage-log/<date>-<label>.md') in the Tooling table so all three script usages are copy-paste ready in the body.
Cut meta-commentary that narrates the skill's construction ('Stated multiple times in this skill body', 'Stated again here', 'Non-negotiable' stacked on already-bolded warnings) — the formatting already carries the emphasis.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and table-driven and assumes Claude's competence (no concept explanations), but the Invocation Triggers list duplicates the frontmatter description verbatim, the NEVER-SEND rule is restated roughly eight times, and meta-commentary like 'Stated multiple times in this skill body. Non-negotiable.' could be trimmed — efficient with minor over-repetition, the 4 anchor rather than 3 (the repetition is deliberate safety emphasis, not pervasive padding) and short of the every-token-earns-its-place 5 anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete guidance throughout — exact KB paths, a full script invocation ('scripts/search_window_calculator.py --cadence <CADENCE> --now <ISO>'), an exact report subject and section list, a four-way decision table, and an error-to-behavior table — but two of the three scripts (kb_reader.py, draft_safety_validator.py) are named without their command lines in the body (invocations live one level deep in references), which are minor gaps matching the 4 anchor rather than fully copy-paste-ready 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Ten clearly sequenced steps with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops: fail-fast KB reads (kb_reader halts on missing core files), a post-run draft-safety validator, an empty-inbox branch, and an error-handling table with concrete recovery behaviors (draft fails → skip, note, report continues; delivery fails → save to file as fallback) — matching the 5 anchor with explicit validation and error-recovery loops. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Verified against the actual bundle: three reference files (kb_file_contract.md, triage_decision_framework.md, drafts_only_safety.md) all exist, are one level deep with no nested reference chains, and are clearly signaled both inline at point of use and in a dedicated References section; three real scripts carry the mechanical work, and the deep 'canon' material is appropriately split out of the operational body — the 5 anchor. | 5 / 5 |
