Use when besieging a fortified city resistant to conventional assault. Plans river diversion to compromise walls through hydraulic pressure. Based on Wang Ben's 225 BCE flooding of Daliang that forced Wei's surrender.

Quality

Content

71%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A compact, well-structured procedural skill with a clear sequence and a validation checklist. Its main gap is actionability: the steps name what to do but lack the engineering specifics required to carry them out.

Suggestions

Add concrete quantitative or engineering specifics to the steps (e.g., required channel capacity relative to river flow, minimum labor estimates, expected time-to-wall-collapse) so the guidance is executable rather than descriptive.

Tighten the Historical Example so it does not restate the description verbatim, reclaiming tokens for the added execution detail.

Consider an in-line validation checkpoint after 'Execute diversion' (e.g., verify water is reaching the walls before waiting) to add the feedback loop that would lift workflow clarity to 5.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly lean with well-organized sections and minimal over-explanation; the Historical Example lightly restates the description and could be trimmed, but otherwise every section earns its place.

4 / 5

Actionability

Steps give concrete domain guidance ('Construct canals or channels (河沟)', 'Breach or redirect water flow') but stop at high-level hints, omitting specifics like channel sizing, required labor, or expected duration needed to actually execute.

3 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Steps are clearly sequenced 1-6 and a Validation section provides a pre-flight checklist, which keeps this destructive operation above the 3-cap; it falls short of 5 only because there is no in-sequence validate-fix-retry feedback loop.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A simple, under-50-line skill with clear section headers and no need for external references, satisfying the simple-skill exception for a top progressive-disclosure score.

Description

82%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, well-scoped description with an explicit trigger phrase and a concrete statement of capability. Its only weakness is limited breadth of named actions, which keeps specificity at the midpoint rather than the top.

Suggestions

Optionally name 1-2 additional concrete actions (e.g., surveying upstream water sources, engineering diversion channels) to lift specificity from a single primary action to comprehensive coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain ('besieging a fortified city') and one concrete action ('Plans river diversion to compromise walls through hydraulic pressure'), but coverage is limited to a single primary action rather than a comprehensive set of capabilities.

3 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (river diversion to compromise walls via hydraulic pressure) and 'when' (a concrete 'Use when besieging a fortified city resistant to conventional assault' trigger phrase).

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural keyword coverage for the niche ('besieging a fortified city resistant to conventional assault', 'river diversion'), with only a few synonyms or phrasings a user might say missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (hydraulic siege warfare) with distinct triggers and minimal overlap risk with other skills.
