75%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 clearly structured, actionable instruction-only skill with a sound multi-step workflow and verification checklist. It is efficient but has mild redundancy across overview sections and would benefit from a concrete worked example.
Suggestions
Add a brief worked example or sample dialogue illustrating the six steps end-to-end to lift actionability from abstract guidance to directly applicable practice.
Merge or trim the overlap between 'Overview', 'Core Principles', and 'Key Techniques' (e.g. 'Empathy first' restates 'Build common ground') to improve conciseness.
Tighten the Verification section into explicit checkpoints tied to specific steps rather than a retrospective checklist, and consider folding 'Expected Outcomes' into the relevant steps to reduce redundancy.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes Claude's intelligence without explaining basic persuasion concepts, but 'Core Principles', 'Key Techniques', and 'Overview' partially restate one another and could be tightened. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, specific behavioral guidance is given per step (e.g. 'Share personal vulnerabilities or challenges', 'Use historical or familiar examples'), but no worked example or sample dialogue grounds the technique in practice. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Six steps are clearly sequenced and a three-item Verification checklist is present; however the verification is a post-hoc checklist rather than an explicit validate->fix->retry feedback loop. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is self-contained with well-labeled sections and no nested references, but at roughly 60 lines with some redundant sections it sits just above the simple-skill threshold and has minor organization gaps. | 4 / 5 |
