86%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.
The body is a lean, well-structured instruction-only procedure with a clear sequenced workflow, decision branches, and a validation checklist. The main gaps are a few generic step bullets and validation that sits at the end rather than as inline checkpoints with a retry loop.
Suggestions
Tighten the generic step bullets ('Locate capable individuals', 'Assess their true value') into more concrete tactics, e.g. specific signals of capability or sources to search.
Convert the final Validation section into inline checkpoints after the risky steps (Negotiate, Secure and Release) with an explicit 'if validation fails, return to step N' retry loop.
Add one short worked example beyond Baili Xi to show the tactic generalizes, keeping the body concise.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean (under 50 lines), uses tight bullets, and never explains concepts Claude already knows; every section earns its place, matching the 'lean and efficient; assumes Claude's competence' anchor; the only mild redundancy is the Overview restating the description, which still adds the 'without alerting them to the person's true value' framing. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete tactical guidance with specific examples ('Use a low-value exchange (e.g., five ram skins for Baili Xi)', 'Frame the request as recovering a minor servant or fugitive') fits the 'mostly executable guidance; minor gaps' anchor; not 5 because some steps remain generic ('Locate capable individuals', 'Assess their true value') without specifics on how. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear six-step numbered sequence is paired with a Validation section and Decision Points providing feedback branches, matching 'clear sequence with most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps'; not 5 because validation is a post-hoc checklist rather than inline checkpoints between steps, and there is no explicit fix-and-retry loop. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | With no bundle files present and the skill under 50 lines, the well-organized sections (Overview, Steps, Decision Points, Expected Outcomes, Validation) satisfy the simple-skill exception allowing a 5 on progressive disclosure with just well-organized sections. | 5 / 5 |
