river-flooding-siege-tactic

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

42%

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

The content is well-organized and appropriately concise for a simple skill, with a clear sequence and validation checklist. Its weaknesses are abstract, non-actionable step descriptions and the absence of error-recovery feedback loops for a destructive operation.

Suggestions

Make each step actionable with concrete engineering specifics (e.g., how to assess flood vulnerability, channel sizing, breach methods) instead of naming actions at a descriptive level.

Convert the pre-flight Validation section into a validate→fix→retry feedback loop so failed checks route back to corrective action before proceeding.

Drop or merge the Historical Example with the description to remove duplication and tighten the body further.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and does not explain concepts Claude already knows, but the Historical Example duplicates the description and the Overview/Expected Outcomes sections overlap, so it could be tightened further.

2 / 3

Actionability

Steps name actions at a high abstraction level ("Construct canals or channels", "Breach or redirect water flow") with no concrete engineering specifics, matching the vague/descriptive bottom anchor rather than executable guidance.

1 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear numbered sequence and an explicit Validation checklist are present, but this destructive operation lacks a validate→fix→retry feedback loop, which the rubric caps at 2 for destructive changes.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is under 50 lines, single-purpose, needs no external references, and is organized into clearly labeled sections, satisfying the simple-skill exception for progressive disclosure.

Description

75%

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

The description has an explicit Use-when trigger, answers both what and when, and occupies a clearly distinct niche. Its main weakness is listing one core action rather than multiple concrete capabilities, which limits specificity and trigger-term breadth.

Suggestions

Expand the action list beyond the single 'Plans river diversion' action to name the discrete capabilities a user would invoke (e.g., survey flood-vulnerable terrain, engineer diversion channels, estimate hydraulic pressure) to lift specificity.

Add a few natural keyword variations a user might actually say (e.g., 'breach city walls', 'flood a fortification', 'water-diversion siege') to broaden trigger-term coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Plans river diversion to compromise walls through hydraulic pressure" names the domain and a concrete action, but offers a single core action rather than the multiple concrete actions the top anchor requires.

2 / 3

Completeness

It explicitly answers both what ("Plans river diversion to compromise walls through hydraulic pressure") and when ("Use when besieging a fortified city resistant to conventional assault") with an explicit trigger clause.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

"besieging a fortified city resistant to conventional assault" and "river diversion" are relevant natural terms, but coverage of common variations a user might say is limited rather than broad.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The river-flooding siege niche is highly specific with distinct triggers, making it very unlikely to fire for the wrong skill.
