Content
70%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is a clear, well-structured procedure with explicit sequencing and a validation checklist, appropriate for a simple instruction-only skill. It is weakest on actionability and conciseness, where several steps remain abstract and some sections restate the description.
Suggestions
Make abstract steps more actionable — e.g., specify how to assess value or what signals indicate a target is "capable".
Trim the Overview and Expected Outcomes sections, which largely restate the description and the steps, to recover token budget.
Convert the trailing Validation checklist into inline checkpoints after the relevant steps so verification is interleaved rather than retrospective.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The steps are mostly lean, but the Overview ("A diplomatic procedure for acquiring talented individuals...") and Expected Outcomes section repeat content already implied by the description and steps, so it could be tightened. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Some concrete specifics exist ("five ram skins for Baili Xi", "Frame the request as recovering a minor servant or fugitive"), but many steps stay abstract ("Locate capable individuals", "Assess their true value") without concrete how-to guidance. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Six numbered steps give a clear sequence, and the Validation section provides an explicit post-process checklist (modest terms, extended discussions, recommendation request), satisfying the clear-sequence-with-validation anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | This is a simple single-purpose skill with no external references needed; its well-organized sections (Steps, Decision Points, Expected Outcomes, Validation) meet the simple-skill allowance for a top score. | 3 / 3 |
