85%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.
An exemplary lean dispatcher body: one exact command, explicit placeholder resolution, conditional flags with a tie-breaker, and enumerated handling of every output outcome. The only structural weakness is that the two bundled reference files (claims-check.md, deletion-check.md) are invisible from SKILL.md, and no fully-resolved example command is given.
Suggestions
Add a brief note in the body (e.g., a short list under the command) naming references/claims-check.md and references/deletion-check.md and when the printed workflow will direct agents to them, so the bundle's structure is discoverable from the entry point.
Include one fully-resolved example invocation (with real-looking project-root and skill-root paths, plus a sample flag append) so the command is copy-paste adaptable without inference.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~18-line body is lean and every token earns its place: "Run the following command exactly once without changing the current working directory", terse substitution rules, conditional flag appends, and one-line outcome handling. It assumes Claude's competence, explains nothing Claude already knows, and even compresses the judgment call to "When in doubt, don't." — a clear match for the anchor "Lean and efficient; assumes Claude's competence; every token earns its place". | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | The body gives an exact command (`uv run --no-cache "{project-root}/_bmad/scripts/render_skill.py" ...`) with unambiguous substitution rules ("the nearest folder containing `_bmad/`, from the working directory upward") and concrete conditional appends, matching "Mostly executable guidance; concrete code or commands with minor gaps". Not a 5 because the command is templated rather than copy-paste ready — no fully-resolved example invocation is shown; not a 3 because the guidance is real and executable, not pseudocode or high-level hints. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | This is a single-action dispatcher skill whose one action is unambiguous (the simple-skill exception applies): substitute placeholders, conditionally append flags with an explicit tie-breaker ("When in doubt, don't"), run once, then branch on every possible outcome — "HALT: <reason>: report the reason and stop", missing script → offer setup then re-run, "On any other output or failure ... report the command output and stop. Do not run any workflow source directly." Every checkpoint and error path is explicit. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The bundle contains references/claims-check.md and references/deletion-check.md, but the body never mentions or signals them — navigation is entirely delegated to the printed workflow, so from the entry point the references are present but not clearly signaled (anchor 3). Not a 2 because the body itself is a clean, short overview that appropriately keeps detail out of SKILL.md rather than inlining it; not a 4/5 because a reader of SKILL.md cannot discover the two bundled reference files at all. | 3 / 5 |
