81%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.
An exemplary orchestration skill body: concrete commands, complete agent prompts, size-adaptive batching, explicit validation loops, and a properly deferred fallback reference. Its weaknesses are moderate redundancy (integrity injunctions and design specs repeated inline) and a long inline HTML design spec that would fit better in its own reference file.
Suggestions
State the 'read every file, no skipping' rule once (e.g. in Important Notes) and delete the repetitions in the preamble and Phase 2.
Move the detailed HTML design specification (palette/typography/section-by-section layout) into a references/report-design.md and keep only the section order and key rules inline, letting assets/report-template.html carry the visual specifics.
Consolidate the per-phase 'Claude Code fallback mode' notes into the single fallback reference (e.g. one summary line per phase pointing there) to cut repeated boilerplate.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient procedural writing, but with repeated content that could be tightened: the 'read every file / do not skip / research integrity' injunction appears in the preamble, Phase 2 ('Do not skip files', 'Do NOT skip any files'), and Important Notes; and the '### Design Language (from template)' section (~15 lines of palette/typography/layout prose) duplicates what the template file itself is read for ('Read the template ... for the design language only'). Not score 2 because there is no explanation of concepts Claude already knows and no padding for its own sake; not score 4 because these duplications are noticeable rather than minor. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable guidance throughout: exact shell commands with platform variants ('stat -f %Sm -t %Y-%m-%d' / 'stat -c %y | cut -d' ' -f1'), exact output paths ('/tmp/compound-planning/extraction-{batch-name}.md'), copy-paste-ready extraction and reduction prompts, numeric batching thresholds (≤10 / 11-30 / 31-80 / 80+), and a concrete hook-file path with replace/merge/keep handling. Not score 4 because there are no material gaps in executability for an instruction-only skill. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Phases 0-6 are clearly sequenced with an explicit gating rule ('Each phase must complete fully before the next begins'), and validation checkpoints with feedback loops are present for the batch operations: verify extraction counts against the Phase 1 inventory, re-launch timed-out agents for just the unprocessed files, warn and offer full-mode switch when fewer than 3 new denied files exist, and Key Rules requiring real data with no fabrication. Not score 4 because both the checkpoints and the error-recovery loops are explicit rather than implicit. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Good structure with well-signaled, verified, one-level-deep bundle references: [references/claude-code-fallback.md](references/claude-code-fallback.md) is correctly gated behind fallback mode, the parser script and 'assets/report-template.html' are linked with clear purpose statements. Not score 5 because ~130 lines of HTML design specification (palette, typography, per-section layout, adaptation rules) are inlined in SKILL.md — a natural candidate for a separate design reference — and the design-language prose partially duplicates the template file. Not score 3 because references are clearly signaled and the inline content is legitimately the core deliverable spec, not misfiled reference material. | 4 / 5 |
