75%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.
A well-organized, lean instruction skill with concrete historical examples and an explicit validation checklist. It lands uniformly at 4 across dimensions: solid and actionable, with minor gaps in conciseness (a tangential section), method-selection precision, and the absence of a retry feedback loop.
Suggestions
Trim or relocate the "Sequence of Cultivation" (脩意/脩言/脩文/脩名/脩德) since it concerns self-cultivation rather than remonstrance, improving conciseness and focus.
Sharpen method selection into an explicit decision rule (e.g., a small table mapping ruler disposition → recommended method → fallback) so the actionability of choosing among the four methods matches the specificity of the methods themselves.
Turn the Validation section into a true feedback loop: after each checkpoint, state what to do on failure (e.g., if warning signs are present, fall back to Method 4 withdrawal and re-assess), adding the retry/branch guidance that would lift workflow clarity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and bullet-based and assumes Claude's competence, but the "Sequence of Cultivation" (脩意→脩言→脩文→脩名→脩德) is tangential to remonstrance and could be trimmed, a minor instance of over-inclusion. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Each of the four methods gives a concrete technique, a historical example, and a sourced quote with translation, and the assessment criteria and warning signs are specific; the gap is that method-selection guidance stays high-level ("direct speech for receptive rulers, indirect methods for resistant rulers") without a sharper decision rule. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | There is a clear assess→choose→apply sequence with an explicit Validation checklist and a warning-signs→withdraw branch, but no true validate→fix→retry feedback loop, so it sits at the anchor with most checkpoints present rather than the top anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Sections are well-organized with clear headers in a single self-contained file with no nested references and no bundle files, but the body is just over the 50-line simple-skill threshold and includes the tangential cultivation section, a minor organization gap. | 4 / 5 |
