86%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 concise, well-structured instruction-only skill with concrete examples and a verification checklist. Slight gaps in actionability of softer tactics and inline validation loops keep it just below top marks on two dimensions.
Suggestions
Tighten vague directives like 'Maintain dignity while showing respect' into concrete actions (e.g., specific forms of address, seating, or protocol steps).
Add an inline validate→fix→retry loop within Mission Execution (e.g., after gift presentation, verify reception before proceeding) rather than only end-of-mission verification.
Consider adding 1-2 more fully worked negotiation examples beyond the Zhao military-aid case to broaden coverage of common scenarios.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean, list-driven body that assumes Claude's competence and explains no background concepts; every section earns its place with no padding. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete specifics (100 jin→1000 yi gold, 10→100 chariots, the 'bird that doesn't fly' riddle, Zhang Qian example), but several tactics remain high-level directives ('Maintain dignity while showing respect') rather than fully actionable steps. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear sequence from Preparation through Execution, Crisis, and a Verification checklist with explicit checkpoints; the rejection branch offers a revise-and-retry loop, but verification is end-of-process rather than an inline validate→fix→retry loop. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist and none are needed for this single-file skill; the body is well-organized with clear section headers, satisfying the simple-skill exception. | 5 / 5 |
