92%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 body: an explicitly sequenced decision flow with a built-in revision loop, copy-paste-ready user questions and numeric thresholds, and clean one-level-deep progressive disclosure to ten real reference files. The only weakness is moderate redundancy — the ask-don't-tell rule and several thresholds are restated across Rules, Tier 3 and Tier 4, which inflates the token budget without adding decisions.
Suggestions
Consolidate the repeated Leaning/ask-the-question guidance: state it once in Rule 3 and have Tier 3 and the Tier 4 bullets reference it by tag instead of re-explaining it, saving several hundred tokens.
State each numeric threshold (duration ceilings, peak-to-mean ratio) in one place only — e.g. keep them in the Tier 1 constraints or the edge-cases reference — and cross-link rather than duplicating across Tier 1, Tier 3 and Tier 4.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense decision guidance Claude does not already know (thresholds like 'peak-to-mean ratio below 2 within 5–10 minutes', '90 min on Managed Instances for async or ESM invocations', 'sessions up to 8 h') with no concept padding. Not score 5: the Leaning/ask-the-question pattern is restated in Rule 3, Tier 3 and multiple Tier 4 bullets, and duration/traffic thresholds repeat between Tier 1 constraints and Tier 4, so there is more than minor trimming opportunity. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully actionable for an instruction-only skill: copy-paste user questions ('Does peak traffic stay below twice the average within any 5–10 minute window…?'), concrete commands ('aws lambda-web create-web-function'), a routing table with explicit do/don't-route columns, and a hand-off table mapping each decision to its owner. Not score 4: the specific examples cover the common cases with exact strings and numbers. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly sequenced multi-step flow (Step 0 entry point → Step 1 direct routes → Step 2 Tiers 1–4 → Steps 3–5 conditional) with an explicit feedback loop (Rule 4: 'New information → re-run the affected tier and update the recommendation'), a Decided/Leaning/Open/Unraised classification checklist, a 3–4 question budget, and a revise-before-answer ordering. Not score 4: validation checkpoints (classify before answering, confirm limits against shared references) are explicit, not implicit. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Headline decisions live in SKILL.md while details are pushed one level deep to ten real, verified reference files (compute-decision-edge-cases.md, orchestration.md, api-gateway.md, lambda.md, concurrency.md, event-sources.md, deployment.md, architecture.md, production.md, troubleshooting.md), each surfaced through a user-need→file table and inline links; implementation SOPs are delegated to separate skills. Not score 4: navigation is well-signaled in both directions with no nested references. | 5 / 5 |
