Quality

Content

100%

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

A compact, well-structured instruction skill: concrete sequenced steps, a verification checklist, and no wasted tokens. It fully fits the simple-skill rubric allowances.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean bullet-point steps with no padding of concepts Claude already knows; every section (Steps, Key Principle, Verification) earns its place.

3 / 3

Actionability

Concrete, specific guidance with quantified actions ('Select 2,000 light cavalry', 'Position 10,000 troops with backs to the river', 'Replace enemy flags with your red flags'); as an instruction-only skill, code absence is not penalized.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Six clearly sequenced steps plus a 3-item Verification checklist providing explicit validation checkpoints for this high-stakes operation.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

A single under-50-line file with well-organized sections and no need for external references, satisfying the simple-skill allowance.

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.

A tight, niche description that clearly states both the trigger and the concrete tactic, with strong specificity and distinctiveness. The main weakness is limited keyword variation in the trigger clause.

Suggestions

Broaden the trigger with natural user phrasings, e.g. 'Use when outnumbered or facing a larger enemy force and you need to motivate troops to fight desperately'.

Add a couple of synonymous trigger terms (e.g. 'last stand', 'fighting with no retreat') so the skill surfaces for varied user wording.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'position troops in death ground' and 'hidden cavalry to capture the enemy camp' — rather than vague language.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Applies Han Xin's 井陉之战 tactic: position troops in death ground... with hidden cavalry') and when ('Use when commanding an inferior force...').

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

The 'Use when commanding an inferior force...' trigger is present and domain-appropriate, but it states the situation once without enumerating common phrasings a user might say (e.g. 'outnumbered', 'last stand').

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A highly specific historical niche (Han Xin's 井陉之战 / death-ground tactic) with distinct triggers that would not collide with other skills.
