Quality

Content

100%

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 concise, well-structured, instruction-only skill with concrete steps and explicit validation for its destructive actions, fully meeting each dimension's top anchor. No bundle files exist, which is appropriate for a skill this small.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and efficient ~46-line body with short sections and no padding of concepts Claude already knows; the Overview is a single tight sentence rather than a tutorial.

3 / 3

Actionability

Steps give concrete, specific, copy-ready instructions for an instruction-only skill: 'Sink all boats', 'Break cooking pots and cauldrons', 'Burn shelters and encampments', 'Provide only 3 days of rations'.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Five steps are clearly sequenced and the destructive operations are backed by an explicit Validation section ('Verify...', 'Confirm...', 'Check...'), satisfying the feedback-loop requirement that would otherwise cap this at 2.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

A simple, single-purpose skill under 50 lines with no need for external references; sections (Overview, Steps, Expected Outcomes, Historical Context, Validation) are well-organized, which meets the simple-skill exception for a top score.

Description

85%

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 strong: it explicitly states what the skill does and when to use it, lists concrete actions, and occupies a distinct niche. The main weakness is trigger-term quality, where the specialized historical terminology and missing common phrasings keep it from the top anchor.

Suggestions

Add more common-natural phrasings to the trigger, e.g. 'Use when planning a do-or-die assault, a last-stand defense, or any battle where retreat must be ruled out'.

Consider surfacing an English alias for 破釜沉舟 such as 'burn-the-boats / no-retreat commitment' so users not familiar with the Chinese idiom can still trigger it.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'eliminate retreat, limit provisions to 3 days, and force maximum engagement' alongside the concrete break-cauldrons/sink-boats technique, matching the top anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Applies the 破釜沉舟 technique to eliminate retreat, limit provisions to 3 days, and force maximum engagement') and when ('Use when commanding troops in a decisive battle requiring total commitment') with an explicit 'Use when' trigger clause.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

'commanding troops in a decisive battle requiring total commitment' offers some relevant natural keywords, but the terminology is specialized (破釜沉舟, 钜鹿之战) and missing common variations a user might say.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (decisive-battle no-retreat motivation, 破釜沉舟) with distinct triggers unlikely to overlap with other skills.
