reg-feed-watcher

Check regulatory feeds now and report what's new since the last check, filtered by your materiality threshold. Use when the user says "check the feeds", "what's new", "regulatory update", when running from the scheduled agent, or when manually pasting a regulatory development for classification and diff.

Quality

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 well-sequenced, actionable workflow with explicit validation checkpoints and a real one-level reference. Its only weakness is mild verbosity from repeated config paths and long quoted fallback messages.

Suggestions

Abbreviate the recurring ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/regulatory-legal/CLAUDE.md path to a short alias (e.g., "the plugin CLAUDE.md") after first definition to reduce token cost.

Compress the multi-option fallback dialogues into a short bullet list rather than a single long quoted sentence.

Consider moving the full digest Markdown template into the references directory and linking to it, keeping SKILL.md as a lean overview.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly efficient and domain-appropriate, but repeated full config paths and lengthy quoted fallback dialogues (e.g., the multi-option thin-coverage message) could be tightened without losing clarity.	2 / 3
Actionability	Provides concrete endpoints (Federal Register API URL), an agency-slug table, exact file paths (comment-tracker.yaml), and a full copy-ready Markdown output template.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Clear Step 0→3 sequence with explicit validation checkpoints: coverage-gap check before pulling, no-silent-supplement decision branch, config-dependent fallbacks, and a handoff section.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	SKILL.md is an overview that signals a single one-level-deep reference (references/source-catalog.md, a real file) used for a specific purpose; no nested reference chains.	3 / 3

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, triggers-heavy, and complete, covering both what the skill does and when to invoke it with natural user phrases. Third-person voice is maintained throughout.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — "Check regulatory feeds now", "report what's new since the last check", "filtered by your materiality threshold", and "classification and diff" — rather than vague language.	3 / 3
Completeness	Clearly answers both what (check feeds, filter by materiality, report diffs) and when via an explicit "Use when..." clause with several enumerated triggers.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Good coverage of natural phrases a user would say: "check the feeds", "what's new", "regulatory update", plus scheduled-agent and paste-entry triggers.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Clear niche (regulatory feed monitoring with materiality filtering) and distinct, specific triggers make it unlikely to fire for the wrong skill.	3 / 3
