85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A lean, well-structured instruction skill with concrete steps and an explicit validation section. The main inefficiency is mild redundancy between the Overview, Key Principle, and the frontmatter description.
Suggestions
Collapse the Overview and Key Principle into a single statement to remove overlap with the frontmatter description and lift conciseness toward a 3.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is short and free of basic-concept padding, but the Overview and Key Principle restate the frontmatter description ('repeatedly request personal rewards... self-interest, not ambition' vs 'A ruler fears those who want power'), so not every token earns its place as required for a 3. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Numbered steps give concrete sub-actions ('Ask for land, houses, gardens for descendants', 'Make requests publicly or in official channels', 'Send multiple follow-up requests'), which is specific and actionable for an instruction-only skill where absence of code is not penalized. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear five-step sequence is paired with an explicit Validation section listing checkpoints (e.g. 'this strategy works only with rulers who fear ambitious generals'), matching the clear-sequence-with-explicit-validation anchor rather than the missing-checkpoint level 2. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, has no external references, and is organized into clear sections (Overview, Steps, Key Principle, Expected Outcomes, Validation), which per the rubric's simple-skills note earns a 3 on well-organized sections alone. | 3 / 3 |
