76%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.
An efficient, well-sectioned instruction-only skill whose domain guidance (inputs, formulas, table specs) is concrete and actionable. Its main weaknesses are the complete absence of validation/checkpoint steps in the workflow and no worked example or concrete tooling for the Excel output.
Suggestions
Add explicit validation checkpoints to the workflow, e.g. a Step 2a sanity check that IRR and MOIC are mutually consistent for the hold period, and a confirmation of gathered inputs with the user before building the tables.
Include one short worked example with real numbers (entry 8x, 6x leverage, 5-year hold, exit 8x) showing the computed base-case MOIC/IRR and one attribution waterfall, so the common case is instantiated.
Give concrete guidance for the Step 5 output — e.g., the library or approach to use for the Excel workbook and conditional coloring — instead of just naming the tabs.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean checklists, table templates, and formulas throughout; it assumes Claude's competence and never explains known concepts (no "what is IRR", no library introductions). The blank tables earn their tokens by fixing the output format. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete formulas (MOIC, IRR solve, three attribution formulas), exact input lists, and specified table geometries make the guidance mostly executable, but there is no worked numeric example and no concrete tool guidance for producing the promised Excel workbook output. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 1-5 are clearly ordered and each is well-defined, but there are no validation or checkpoint steps at all — no MOIC/IRR consistency sanity check and no input confirmation before building outputs. This matches anchor 3 (steps listed, checkpoints missing) rather than anchor 4 (most checkpoints present). | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized sections in a single self-contained file with no bundle files provided. At ~115 lines none are strictly required, but the under-50-line simple-skill exception does not apply, and the formulas/notes could plausibly be split into a reference file. | 4 / 5 |
