82%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.
A strong, highly actionable reference: executable commands for every pattern, well-built decision guidance for when to delegate, and good navigation. The main gaps are minor — some duplication of the frontmatter routing rules and the absence of any output-verification or failure-recovery guidance for a completed delegation.
Suggestions
Trim the restated routing rules (self-delegation warning, sibling-skill default-path) that duplicate the description, keeping one-line pointers instead, to tighten conciseness.
Add a short 'After delegation' step covering how to verify Otto's result (e.g., spot-check reported findings, or re-run with `-c` to correct) so the workflow closes the loop.
Consider moving the exhaustive flag tables (session control, permission modes, settings precedence) into a references/ file linked from SKILL.md to improve progressive disclosure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Nearly every section adds non-obvious information Otto-specific details, and tables keep the flag reference tight. It sits at anchor 4 rather than 5 because of small redundancies: the self-delegation warning and sibling-skill routing rules each restate the frontmatter description, and the 'Signals' lists could be trimmed by a line or two without losing content. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Copy-paste-ready commands throughout — 'astro otto --mode text --permission-mode plan "audit this DAG"', '--allowed-tools af,bash', '--output-schema @schema.json | jq '.final_answer'' — with concrete flag tables for sessions, modes, permissions, and settings precedence. All examples are executable as written and cover the common delegation patterns. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The delegation decision flow is clearly sequenced (check loaded skills → explicit Otto request / offer-first for AF2→3 / default-path when alone, with an explicit fallback if the user declines), and availability checking ('astro otto version') plus the auto DAG-validation behavior give some checkpoints. Not a 5 because there is no guidance on validating or spot-checking Otto's output before the parent agent relies on it, and no recovery loop if an invocation fails mid-delegation. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist, and the body is well-organized into scannable sections with clearly signaled one-level-deep references (links to astronomer.io docs, 'For session continuity ... see [Session control]'). It sits at 4 rather than 5 because at ~270 lines the full flag reference (session/mode/permission tables, settings precedence) could plausibly live in a separate reference file, keeping SKILL.md a leaner overview. | 4 / 5 |
