65%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 content is a comprehensive, highly actionable reference for the Obsidian Bases format with excellent copy-paste examples, but it is a monolithic ~650-line document that inlines material (function reference, full examples) better suited to separate bundle files and omits validation checkpoints for the error-prone YAML/formula authoring it describes.
Suggestions
Move the exhaustive Functions Reference and the Complete Examples into separate bundle files (e.g., references/functions.md, references/examples.md), leaving SKILL.md a concise overview with clearly signaled one-level-deep links to improve progressive disclosure.
Add an explicit validation checkpoint (e.g., 'Verify the .base file renders in Obsidian and check the Bases view for formula errors before finalizing') to raise workflow clarity for the error-prone authoring process.
Remove the redundant 'Common Patterns' filter examples that duplicate 'Filter Syntax' to tighten conciseness.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is reference-dense and avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows, but at ~650 inlined lines it is noticeably long, and the 'Common Patterns' section re-demonstrates filters already shown in 'Filter Syntax', so it could be tightened substantially. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | It provides complete, copy-paste-ready .base file examples (Task Tracker, Reading List, Project Notes, Daily Notes) plus exhaustive function signatures with signatures and descriptions, fully covering the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | This is a single-purpose format skill with no explicit multi-step sequence, and it lacks any validation/verify checkpoint for error-prone YAML and formula syntax (only a partial Duration WRONG/RIGHT note), leaving validation gaps. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Section headers and external Obsidian reference links give it structure, but the exhaustive function-reference tables and four full examples are inlined in SKILL.md with no local bundle files, where splitting into reference files is clearly warranted. | 3 / 5 |
