68%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 a well-structured, lean architecture-and-reuse guide that points to concrete repo files and a real scan command, assuming Claude's competence without padding. Its main weakness is the absence of explicit validation checkpoints in its build-out workflow.
Suggestions
Add explicit verification checkpoints to the 'Recommended Immediate Steps' — e.g. after building Rust sidecars, validate against replayed quote logs before declaring the leg executable.
Move the 'Snapshot date: 2026-08-30' (and any other time-sensitive markers) into a dedicated 'Currency / staleness' section so the inline body stays evergreen.
Document the full option list for '/hft-arb scan' inline or in a referenced file rather than deferring entirely to '/hft-arb scan help', so the skill is actionable without a live invocation.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean — terse bullets, an architecture diagram, and a reuse map with no over-explanation of concepts Claude already knows — but the inline 'Snapshot date: 2026-08-30' is time-sensitive info not placed in a deprecated/old-patterns section, a minor trimmable cost keeping it at 4 rather than 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | For an instruction-only skill it gives concrete, specific guidance: exact repo paths (src/rpc/client.rs, src/nonce_ledger.rs), named venues, and an executable scan command '/hft-arb scan <solana|evm|cross> <base> <quote> <size> [options]', with only minor gaps in full option documentation. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 'Recommended Immediate Steps' section gives a clear 5-step sequence, but there are no explicit validation or verification checkpoints; the read-only scan is not destructive so the cap-of-3 rule does not force this, yet the missing checkpoints fit the 'steps listed but validation gaps' anchor. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist; the skill is self-contained with well-organized headers (Objective, Reuse Map, Target Architecture, Swarm Roles, Live Scan Command) and one-level repo-path pointers rather than nested references, but at ~120 lines it exceeds the under-50-line simple-skill exception that would allow a 5. | 4 / 5 |
