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 concise, well-structured instruction skill with concrete actionable guidance and explicit verification checkpoints. Its main limitation is the absence of an explicit error-recovery feedback loop in the core deviation workflow.
Suggestions
Add an explicit feedback loop to the Virtuous Deviation Protocol (e.g., 'If a designated heir lacks support or capability is disputed, re-assess and repeat the three-refusal process before proceeding') to lift workflow clarity.
Trim or merge the 'Expected Outcomes' section into the relevant steps to reduce light restatement and improve conciseness.
Consider adding a brief 'When NOT to deviate' guardrail so the protocol's preconditions are as concrete as its steps.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is largely lean — concise bullets for succession order, warning signs, best practices, and a focused Song Xuan Gong example without explaining what succession is — but 'Expected Outcomes' and the one-line 'Overview' lightly restate benefits, keeping it just below the 'every token earns its place' level of 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, specific guidance for an instruction-only skill: a numbered deviation protocol (assess capability, consider greater good, dying ruler designates, successor declines three times) and concrete best-practice and warning-sign bullets, with only minor gaps versus fully copy-paste-ready specificity. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The deviation protocol is a clear sequenced process and the 'Verification' section supplies explicit checkpoints (confirm assessment, validate the 三让 procedure, check for warning signs); it falls short of 5 because the main protocol lacks an explicit error-recovery feedback loop. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single self-contained file with no bundle references, organized into clear, well-signaled sections (Overview, Core Principles, Warning Signs, Best Practices, Expected Outcomes, Verification) — no nested references and easy to navigate, satisfying the simple-skill exception for progressive disclosure. | 5 / 5 |
