71%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.
The body delivers actionable, well-sequenced guidance with concrete commands, a dispatch recipe, feedback triage rules, and a realistic worked example, at good token efficiency. Its main weakness is progressive disclosure: it twice points to a code-reviewer template file that is missing from the bundle and referenced under two different paths, so the promised navigation fails.
Suggestions
Ship the referenced template in the bundle (e.g. references/code-reviewer.md) so the central dispatch step is actually executable.
Use one consistent, correct path for the template — the body cites both `code-reviewer.md` and `requesting-code-review/code-reviewer.md` for the same file.
Add an explicit re-review step after fixes (e.g. "re-dispatch the reviewer on the fix range before continuing") to close the workflow's feedback loop.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is efficient — a short rationale, exact commands, placeholder definitions, and triage rules with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows. Minor trimming is possible: "Review after EACH task" in Integration with Workflows repeats When to Request Review, and "Push back if reviewer is wrong (with reasoning)" duplicates the Red Flags section. This matches anchor 4 ("Efficient; minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed") rather than 5 ("every token earns its place") because of the duplicated guidance. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance throughout: copy-paste commands (`BASE_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD~1)`), a specific dispatch instruction ("Use Task tool with `general-purpose` type"), defined placeholders, severity-based triage rules, and a worked example with real SHAs and a grep one-liner. Not 5 because the central step depends on a template ("fill template at `code-reviewer.md`") that is not present in the bundle, leaving an execution gap. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The How to Request section gives a clear numbered sequence (get SHAs → dispatch reviewer → act on feedback) with checkpoints: "Fix Critical issues immediately", "Fix Important issues before proceeding", and Never/proceed prohibitions for unfixed issues. It is not 5 because there is no explicit re-review loop after fixes — the example jumps straight to "Continue to Task 3" — and not 3 because validation checkpoints for the review feedback are explicitly present. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Sections are well-organized, but the skill's only external reference is broken: "fill template at `code-reviewer.md`" and "See template at: requesting-code-review/code-reviewer.md" point to a file that does not exist anywhere in the bundle, under two inconsistent paths. This matches anchor 3 ("Some structure but could be better organized" with problematic references) rather than 4, because a dangling, inconsistently-pathed reference to the skill's central artifact is more than a minor organization gap. | 3 / 5 |
