Use when evaluating siege feasibility or deciding whether to continue besieging a fortified city. Based on Xu Jia's advice against attacking Daliang (大梁) — systematically assessing defender strength, fortification quality, historical precedent, and cost of failure before committing.

Quality

Content

85%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 well-structured, concise instruction-only skill with a clear sequenced workflow, explicit validation checkpoints, and decision feedback loops. Minor trimming of the Expected Outcomes section and slightly broader case coverage would push it higher.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean and does not explain concepts Claude already knows, but the "Expected Outcomes" section ("Avoid costly failures", "Secure achievable gains") is mild padding and the opening "Based on Xu Jia's advice" line repeats the description, keeping it just below anchor 5.	4 / 5
Actionability	Concrete prompts with examples ("Estimate number of defenders (e.g., 300,000)", "7-ren high walls") and explicit if/then Decision Criteria give actionable guidance; it stops short of fully covering common variations, so anchor 4 fits better than 5.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Five clearly sequenced steps, an explicit Validation section with numbered checkpoints, and Decision Criteria that act as if/then feedback loops match the anchor-5 pattern of clear sequence plus validation plus error-recovery guidance.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Well under 50 lines with no need for external references, organized into clear sections (Overview, Steps, Decision Criteria, Expected Outcomes, Validation); per the simple-skill guideline this warrants anchor 5 with no bundle files present.	5 / 5
	Total	18 / 20 Passed

Description

92%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 description: it explicitly covers both what the skill does and when to invoke it, with concrete assessment actions and a clearly distinctive niche. The only minor gap is keyword synonym coverage.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the domain and lists multiple concrete assessment actions — "systematically assessing defender strength, fortification quality, historical precedent, and cost of failure" — giving comprehensive coverage comparable to the anchor-5 example.	5 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ("systematically assessing defender strength, fortification quality, historical precedent, and cost of failure") and when ("Use when evaluating siege feasibility or deciding whether to continue besieging a fortified city") with concrete trigger phrasing.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Natural trigger phrases like "siege feasibility" and "deciding whether to continue besieging a fortified city" are present, but coverage lacks synonyms/variations (e.g., "attack", "assault", "siege") that would lift it to 5.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear niche (siege feasibility of fortified cities) with distinct triggers; virtually no other skill would fire on these terms, so conflict risk is minimal.	5 / 5
	Total	19 / 20 Passed
