Quality

Content

85%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a well-organized, actionable instruction skill with clear per-strategy sequences and a validation section. Its only weakness is mild redundancy between the subtitle and the Overview paragraph.

Suggestions

Merge the subtitle line into the Overview or drop one of them — the two sentences restate the same framing already present in the frontmatter description.

Consider noting that the four strategies are situational alternatives (not a sequential procedure) so Claude picks the one matching the ruler's signal rather than applying all four.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly lean, but the subtitle ("Methods for surviving and maintaining position when facing suspicion...") and the Overview paragraph restate each other and the frontmatter, so it could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

Each strategy gives concrete, specific steps ("Purchase land and property at below-market prices", "Contribute personal wealth to military expenses", "Decline the additional honors") — actionable guidance rather than vague direction, appropriate for an instruction-only skill.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Each strategy is a clear numbered sequence keyed to a triggering situation, and a Validation section provides feedback checkpoints for verifying that suspicion has decreased.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

A simple skill under 50 lines with no need for external references; it is organized into clearly labeled sections (Overview, four strategies, Expected Outcomes, Validation), meeting the simple-skill allowance for a top score.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is concise, third-person, and clearly states both the trigger conditions and the four concrete strategies it deploys. It hits every anchor for the top level across all dimensions.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete named strategies — "hostage-sending, deliberate self-pollution (自汙), graceful punishment acceptance, and honor-declining" — matching the anchor for listing several specific concrete actions.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (deploys four enumerated survival strategies to reduce perceived threat) and when ("Use when a powerful minister faces suspicion from a ruler or when navigating dangerous court politics").

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Natural user-facing terms like "suspicion from a ruler", "dangerous court politics", and "survival strategies" are the kind of phrases a user would actually say, giving good trigger coverage.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The court-politics survival niche with its specific triggers is unlikely to overlap with other skills, giving it a clear distinct niche.
