78%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-structured, concise reasoning skill with a clear sequence, explicit decision rules, and a validation checklist. It could be strengthened by adding one complete worked example that traces the full consequence chain end-to-end and by clarifying the garbled Pu example.
Suggestions
Add a single complete worked example that walks the full chain (target value → consequence of success → power shift → who benefits → decision) so the analytical procedure is unambiguous.
Clarify the Pu example: "Capturing Pu would force Wei to submit to your rival (Wei)" is confusing because Wei appears as both the dependent state and the rival — restate the rival clearly and remove the parenthetical ambiguity.
Remove the redundant standalone line "Based on Hu Yan's advice against attacking Pu" under the H1, since the historical context already appears in the description and the Overview.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence — brief steps, a compact decision framework, and no padding about concepts Claude already knows; not a 5 because "Based on Hu Yan's advice against attacking Pu" is repeated and the Pu example phrasing is slightly tangled ("submit to your rival (Wei)"). | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides mostly actionable guidance: five concrete analytical steps with sub-questions and an example, explicit decision rules ("If action helps enemy more than you: Do not proceed"), and a validation checklist; not a 5 because there is no complete end-to-end worked example and the steps are framed as open questions. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly sequenced five-step process is followed by a Decision Framework and a three-point Validation section with explicit checkpoints ("if the chain ends at a rival's gain, do not proceed"); not a 5 because the checkpoints are mental-reasoning checks rather than runnable validate-fix-retry loops. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single under-50-line skill with no need for external references and well-organized sections (Overview, Steps, Decision Framework, Expected Outcomes, Validation), matching the simple-skill exception for a top score. | 5 / 5 |
