92%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 instruction-only skill body: concrete routing, verbatim scripts, an explicit validation preflight, and clean two-file progressive disclosure. The only real cost is redundancy between the design rules and the preflight checklist, which repeats four rules nearly verbatim.
Suggestions
In 'Validate every crafted loop', reference the design rules by name instead of restating them (e.g., 'confirm each rule in Design the feedback cycle holds'), keeping only the checklist framing to remove the near-verbatim duplication of the one-shot, error-as-success, approval, and grounding rules.
The 'Keep discovered loops, adaptations, and repairs grounded' section and the final grounding bullet in the validation checklist both enumerate invented-detail categories; state the full list once and point to it from the other location.
Consider folding the 'Do not expose this internal preflight' and delivery-privacy rules ('Keep its internal design private') into a single 'what to keep internal' note to avoid scattering the same disclosure guidance across two sections.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body assumes Claude's competence throughout and never explains background concepts, but several rules appear twice in near-verbatim form: "one-shot workflow instead of a loop" (Design the feedback cycle vs. Validate every crafted loop), errors-never-reported-as-success, approval for destructive actions, and grounding against invented tools/limits. The design-rules-versus-preflight-checklist mirroring is deliberate but could be trimmed, fitting the 4 anchor (efficient, minor instances that could be trimmed) rather than the 5 anchor where every token earns its place. It is not a 3 because there is no padded explanation or over-teaching anywhere. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | For an instruction-only skill the guidance is fully executable: exact routing criteria for all six routes, a numbered find procedure with ranking dimensions, verbatim interview questions ("What would you like the agent to get done?"), a copy-ready delivery template, and a concrete compression guide script. This matches the 5 anchor (copy-paste-ready guidance covering the common cases); the absence of code is not penalized per the scoring notes. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The multi-step process is clearly sequenced (route the request -> per-route workflow -> design interview -> six-step feedback cycle -> validation preflight -> delivery) with an explicit validation checkpoint section ("silently trace one complete cycle and repair material weaknesses") and error-recovery guidance ("ask one short question or report why the candidate is not ready"). Explicit checkpoints and feedback loops match the 5 anchor; the 4 anchor's 'minor validation gaps' does not apply since validation is central to the skill. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The two heaviest workflows are split into verified, well-signaled one-level-deep references (references/discover.md and references/audit.md), each loaded only at its point of use with a clear condition, and the reference files point back to SKILL.md rather than nesting deeper. Core interview, design, validation, and delivery rules stay inline where they belong, matching the 5 anchor (clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references, content appropriately split, easy navigation). | 5 / 5 |
