The body is a model of operational writing for a small skill: copy-paste command, error-handling branch, precise messaging mechanics, and clear scope boundaries, with detail correctly deferred to --help output and a sibling skill. Only minor tightening of a couple of long sentences keeps conciseness from a perfect score.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and operational with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows — e.g. "Run the command yourself rather than telling the person to run it", "One thread per work stream, unless the person says otherwise". A few sentences could still be tightened (the long decision-handling bullet and "proactivity is better than procrastination" carry some redundancy), which places it at anchor 4 ('efficient; minor instances... that could be trimmed') rather than the every-token-earns-its-place level of anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is fully executable: a copy-paste command (```plannotator inbox --open```), a quoted failure mode with two remedies ("`Unknown inbox option: --open` means... update with `plannotator update`, or run `plannotator inbox`"), exact send mechanics ("`action` `send_message`, with a markdown `body`"), and pointers to `read_thread` and `plannotator inbox --help`. This matches anchor 5 ('fully executable; copy-paste ready commands; specific examples cover the common cases'), not anchor 4, which allows minor gaps the body does not have. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The behavior is sequenced with an explicit error-recovery branch: run the command, tell the address in one sentence (with the remote-session variant), and "If it fails, tell them what it says" including interpretation of the specific error. For this simple single-purpose skill the single action is unambiguous, and the "After the address" section explicitly bounds what to do next, matching the simple-skill exception for a 5; no destructive or batch operations are involved so no validation cap applies. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines with no bundle files and no need for external references, yet is cleanly sectioned ("Using the Inbox", "After the address") and pushes detail outward appropriately — "Before your first send, run `plannotator inbox --help` and read it" and "The `plannotator` skill, where you have it, has more". Per the rubric's simple-skill guidance this earns a 5, and there are no buried or nested references that would lower it. | 5 / 5 |
