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.
A highly actionable, accurate reference for Obsidian Bases syntax with excellent copy-paste examples, but it is a monolithic ~600-line document: the function/type reference belongs in bundle files, the filter examples are repeated, and there is no step-by-step create/edit workflow with a validation checkpoint.
Suggestions
Move the Functions Reference (global/date/duration/string/number/list/file/link/object/regexp tables) into references/functions.md and keep only the most common functions inline, linking to it from SKILL.md.
Add a short 'Creating or editing a base' workflow (determine folder/tag scope → write YAML → verify it parses and renders in Obsidian) with an explicit validation step before finishing.
Trim duplicated content: remove the 'Common Patterns' section that restates filters already exemplified, and merge the Duration Type and Date Arithmetic sections.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly dense, useful reference material (function tables, syntax examples) with little concept-explanation fluff, but it repeats the same guidance multiple times — filter structures appear in 'Complete Schema', 'Filter Syntax', four 'Complete Examples', and again in 'Common Patterns', and duration arithmetic is covered in both 'Duration Type' and 'Date Arithmetic'. That duplication is unnecessary and could be tightened, matching the 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' anchor rather than the lean 5 or the padded 2. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Everything is executable: a complete schema template, copy-paste YAML for every view type, and four full working base files (Task Tracker, Reading List, Project Notes, Daily Notes Index) covering common cases, plus concrete correct/wrong formula examples. This matches the 'fully executable; copy-paste ready; specific examples cover the common cases' anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | There is no creation/edit workflow at all — the body jumps straight from a one-line overview into reference material, with no sequenced steps (gather properties → write YAML → verify) and no validation checkpoint (e.g., confirm the YAML parses or the base renders in Obsidian). That sits at the 'sequence present but checkpoints missing or implicit' level rather than 4; it is not 2 because the reference material itself is coherently organized by topic and the single task (write a valid .base file) is unambiguous in intent. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill has no bundle files at all (no references/, scripts/, or assets/), so the entire ~250-line functions reference, view-type specs, summary tables, and examples are inlined in SKILL.md — content that clearly belongs in separate files, which is the anchor-3 condition. It is not 2 because the body has clear, well-ordered section headers and ends with real external reference links, so navigation is possible; it is not 4 because essentially no content was split out of the main file. | 3 / 5 |
