77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is highly actionable with a clear, well-validated workflow, but it is verbose and heavily self-repeating, violating its own lean-SKILL.md guidance. Progressive disclosure is preached more than practiced, with most detail kept inline rather than moved to the single bundled reference.
Suggestions
Consolidate the three repeated treatments of writing style (lines 160, 362, and 490) and merge the overlapping Common Mistakes, Best Practices Summary, and Validation Checklist sections to reduce redundancy and bring the body closer to its stated 1,500-2,000 word target.
Move detailed reference material (the extended good/bad examples, common-mistake walkthroughs, and quick-reference layouts) into references/ files and link to them from SKILL.md to practice the progressive disclosure the skill advocates.
Tighten the two progressive-disclosure sections (lines 77 and 318) into a single concise statement, keeping only the core three-level loading model inline and pointing to references for elaboration.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is actionable in places but notably verbose and self-repeating: progressive disclosure is explained at line 77 and again at 318, writing style at 160/362/490, and the "Common Mistakes", "Best Practices Summary", and "Validation Checklist" sections restate the same guidance, exceeding the skill's own 1,500-2,000 word target. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides copy-paste commands (`mkdir -p plugin-name/skills/skill-name/{references,examples,scripts}`, `cc --plugin-dir`), concrete YAML good/bad description examples, and specific directory structures, giving fully executable guidance for an instruction skill. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The Skill Creation Process is sequenced as Steps 1-6 with an explicit Validate-and-Test step containing an 8-item checklist and an Iterate feedback loop, matching the clear-sequence-with-validation anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The single bundled reference (`references/skill-creator-original.md`) is clearly signaled, but the body itself is a large monolith that keeps writing-style, common-mistakes, and quick-reference content inline despite the skill's own rule that such detail belongs in references/; the many other referenced files (patterns.md, advanced.md, etc.) are illustrative, not present. | 2 / 3 |
