77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-crafted instruction skill that provides concrete, scenario-based guidance for a read-only survey activity. Its strengths are clear actionability through specific trigger phrases, prioritized signal lists, and explicit transition points to other skills. Minor weaknesses include some verbosity in framing/stance sections and inline content that could potentially be split for better progressive disclosure.
Suggestions
Trim the 'Your Stance' section — the behavioral framing ('receptive, observational, honest') is implicit from the instructions and doesn't need a dedicated section.
Consider moving the detailed scenario response patterns (re-entry, direction-seeking, reflection, stale sweeps) into a separate reference file, keeping SKILL.md as a concise overview with links.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is generally well-written but includes some unnecessary framing ('You are the home base of development work') and stance descriptions that Claude doesn't need explained at length. The 'What Survey Does NOT Do' section is useful but slightly verbose. The example trigger phrases are helpful but add bulk. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Despite being an instruction-only skill (no code), the guidance is highly concrete and specific. Each scenario has clear trigger phrases, explicit response strategies with prioritized signal lists, specific patterns to scan for, and named transitions to other skills. The signal priority list and staleness signals are actionable checklists. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The skill clearly sequences the survey workflow: read the graph → identify the relevant scenario → respond with the appropriate pattern → suggest a transition when the thought crystallizes. For a non-destructive, read-only skill, this is appropriately clear. The transitions section provides an explicit decision tree for handoffs. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | References to model.md and guidelines.md are clear and one-level deep, which is good. However, the skill itself is moderately long (~100 lines) and could benefit from separating the detailed scenario responses into a reference file, keeping the SKILL.md as a leaner overview. The inline content is well-organized with headers but borders on being a monolithic document. | 2 / 3 |
