85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A tight, well-structured instruction-only skill with a clear sequenced workflow and an explicit verification section that closes the loop. The main gap is actionability: the 'calibration' step tells the reader to calibrate without explaining how to gauge the right intensity.
Suggestions
Add concrete guidance for step 3 calibration — e.g., signal ranges for the provocation's intensity (a mild slight that can be apologized for vs. a grave insult) and how to read the target's baseline demeanor before escalating.
In the Example, annotate which step each action maps to (proxy selection, provocation design, reaction interpretation) so the worked example doubles as an executable walkthrough rather than a narrative.
Clarify the abort/repair path in Verification: what to do when the provocation risks irreversible relationship damage (step 2), so the feedback loop covers recovery, not just detection.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean — a one-sentence overview, terse bulleted steps, and a compact example — with no padding of concepts Claude already knows; every section earns its place. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Steps give directional guidance ('Create a scenario where disrespect or slight offense is delivered', 'calibrated to provoke honest reaction') but lack concrete calibration detail on how to size the provocation, so guidance is actionable yet incomplete. It is not a 1 because it does instruct rather than merely describe, and not a 3 because key 'how much' detail is missing. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Five clearly sequenced steps are followed by a Verification section that functions as explicit validation checkpoints (confirm target knowledge, validate calibration, distinguish reaction types), satisfying the rubric's call for explicit verification in potentially relationship-damaging operations. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines with no need for external references and is organized into well-signaled sections (Overview, Steps, Example, Expected Outcome, Verification), which the rubric notes merits a 3 for such simple single-purpose skills. | 3 / 3 |
