build-guide

Help a clinic supervisor author a practice-area guide that configures how student-facing skills behave — intake questions, pedagogy posture (assist / guide / teach), review gates, cross-plugin checks, and local rules. Use when a supervising attorney wants to build or revise a per-practice-area guide, tune how the clinic skills behave for their clinic type, or set their teaching philosophy as plugin configuration.

Content

85%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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 highly actionable, clearly sequenced interview workflow with explicit validation gates, fillable tables, and a complete guide template. Its main weakness is conciseness — it carries some reusable prose and duplicated reminders that could be trimmed — but structure, actionability, and workflow clarity are strong.

Suggestions

Tighten conciseness: collapse the 'Purpose' philosophy paragraph and the 'Work-product header' section to one or two lines each, and remove the standalone 'Audience: the supervising attorney. Not students.' callout since Step 1's role check already enforces it.

Consolidate the duplicated role/audience guidance so the supervisor-only constraint is stated once (Step 1) rather than restated in the overview, Purpose, and checklist framing.

Consider trimming the 'Key things your guide should address' checklist to the few items not already covered by the Step prompts, since most checklist bullets reappear as full interview steps.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient and actionable, but the ~250-line body carries prose padding — the Purpose philosophy section, repeated audience reminders ('Audience: the supervising attorney. Not students.' duplicating Step 1), and the Work-product header explanation — that could be tightened without losing clarity; not a wall of concept-explanation, so it sits at 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' rather than the lean top anchor.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready executable guidance: exact quoted interview prompts, exact file paths, concrete per-area intake defaults, explicit posture keys ('pedagogy_posture_default: assist | guide | teach'), fillable tables, and a complete markdown guide template — fully concrete rather than vague, satisfying the instruction-skill actionability bar.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear 9-step sequence with an explicit validation gate at Step 1 ('Stop if the role is not supervising attorney'), existing-guide detection with revise/overwrite/see-first options in Step 2, and a checklist ('Key things your guide should address'), matching the anchor for clear sequence with explicit validation steps and checklists; the destructive-operation cap does not apply since guide authorship is non-destructive and overwrites are guarded.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and none are needed for this self-contained interview skill; the body is well organized into clearly headed sections (Purpose, Workflow Steps 1–9, Output, What this skill does NOT do) with no nested references and no monolithic wall-of-text problem, so it earns the top anchor on well-organized single-file structure.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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, with concrete capability enumeration and an explicit 'Use when' trigger covering multiple natural phrasings. It is written in imperative/third-person voice consistent with the reference good examples, so no voice penalty applies.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'author a practice-area guide that configures how student-facing skills behave — intake questions, pedagogy posture (assist / guide / teach), review gates, cross-plugin checks, and local rules' — matching the anchor for enumerating specific concrete actions rather than vague language.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('author a practice-area guide that configures how student-facing skills behave...') and when via an explicit 'Use when...' clause, matching the anchor for clearly answering both what AND when with explicit triggers.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

The 'Use when a supervising attorney wants to build or revise a per-practice-area guide, tune how the clinic skills behave for their clinic type, or set their teaching philosophy' clause gives several natural phrasings the target user would say, with good coverage; minor jargon ('plugin configuration') keeps it from being pristine but it clears the bar for natural-term coverage.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is sharply defined — a supervising attorney authoring per-practice-area clinic guides for a specific legal-clinic plugin — making it clearly distinguishable and unlikely to trigger for unrelated skills.
