Quality

Content

78%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a concise, well-structured command reference with clear sequencing, but its references to scripts, an agent file, and an external SKILL.md point to paths absent from this skill's bundle, weakening progressive disclosure and leaving some actionability implicit.

Suggestions

Either include the referenced scripts and agents/ as bundle files, or rewrite the script/agent references as inline guidance so the skill is self-contained and executable from this directory.

Add a brief validation or exit-criteria step to the workflow (e.g., what a passing principle verdict looks like) so the multi-step review has an explicit checkpoint.

Show the concrete invocation for each script (command + key flags) rather than only listing paths, so Claude can run them without inferring arguments.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and efficient throughout — short labeled sections with no concept explanations, assuming Claude's competence so every token earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete usage commands and names the exact scripts/sub-agent by full path, but invokes them by reference rather than showing inline invocation details or flags, leaving minor gaps.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The 'What it runs' section gives a clear three-step sequence ending in a structured report, but lacks explicit validation checkpoints or error-handling feedback loops.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Sections are well-organized and point one level deep to an agent file and skill reference, but no bundle files exist in this skill and the referenced paths are not verifiable real files, so navigation is dangling rather than discoverable.

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is specific, complete, and distinctive, clearly stating both what the skill does and when to invoke it via concrete usage syntax. Trigger-term coverage is strong but slightly reliant on the command form rather than broad synonyms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and four concrete actions — 'Checks complexity, diff noise, hidden assumptions, and goal verification' — giving comprehensive coverage of distinct checks.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers what ('4-principle review ... Checks complexity, diff noise, hidden assumptions, and goal verification') and when ('Usage /karpathy-check [--last-commit]' on staged changes or the last commit).

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural terms like 'review', 'staged changes', and 'last commit' match what a user would say, though coverage leans on the slash command and omits some synonyms.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (Karpathy's 4 principles applied to staged changes or the last commit) with distinct triggers and minimal overlap with other skills.
