90%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 router skill: highly actionable routing and disambiguation tables, concrete skill identifiers and retrieval commands, and a clearly sequenced procedure with explicit out-of-scope handling. The main costs are an unwieldy run-on step 5 and repetition between the steps and the Security Considerations table.
Suggestions
Split step 5 into short sub-bullets (or a small table: 'routing to X → also address Y') so the multi-skill ordering rules are scannable instead of one run-on sentence.
Add an explicit checkpoint after routing, e.g. 'Before handoff, confirm the target skill's coverage matches the request; if not, fall back to step 6's out-of-scope handling.'
De-duplicate the encryption-in-transit and logging guidance between the numbered steps and the Security Considerations table, referencing the table once instead of restating the controls.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dominated by dense, information-packed tables with almost no concept explanation Claude already knows, but step 5 is a ~150-word run-on sentence ('When routing to an internet-facing service (`cloudfront`), also route to `shieldadvanced`... including the managed `SecurityHeadersPolicy`') and the encryption/logging guidance is repeated between the numbered steps and the Security Considerations table, so it is not fully lean. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | As an instruction-only router it gives fully executable guidance: a per-skill 'Choose when…' routing table with concrete criteria, exact skill identifiers, and a copy-paste-ready retrieval command (`aws___retrieve_skill(skill_name="<skill>")`) with a fallback path (`skills/<skill>/SKILL.md`). Specific examples (Cross-Service Concepts tables for filtering, logging, traffic shifting) cover the common disambiguation cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 7-step procedure is clearly sequenced (match → multi-match disambiguation → clarifying question → load → multi-skill ordering → out-of-scope handling → triage-not-implement) with an explicit fallback question in step 3, but there is no explicit checkpoint verifying the routing decision before handoff, and multi-skill dependency routing relies on one dense step. Not a destructive/batch skill, so no validation cap applies. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Sections are well organized and the only references are one level deep (target skills at `skills/<skill>/SKILL.md`, plus two external doc links), with no bundle files to nested-navigate. The long inline Security Considerations table and the duplicated cross-service notes are content that could arguably be split out, keeping it below the top anchor. | 4 / 5 |
