86%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.
The body is a strong example of a lean, actionable instruction-only skill: exact paths, a copy-paste decision format, concrete fallbacks, and explicit anti-patterns with no padding. The only trimmable content is the Context section's justification arithmetic, and the workflows are unambiguous though without validation checkpoints.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~35-line body is lean and assumes competence, giving exact paths and formats with no concept explanations. Only the Context section's byte-arithmetic rationale ('~300 bytes × 18 agents = ~5.4KB of redundant context') could be trimmed, so it sits between 'efficient' and 'lean and efficient; every token earns its place'. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable guidance for an instruction-only skill: the exact drop-box path '.squad/decisions/inbox/{your-name}-{brief-slug}.md', a copy-paste decision format block, a concrete fallback command 'git rev-parse --show-toplevel', and explicit anti-patterns. As an instruction-only skill the absence of code is not penalized since the guidance is directly actionable. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Four independent single-step patterns, each unambiguous with an explicit fallback for TEAM ROOT resolution; no destructive or batch operations requiring validation. Not 5 because there is no unifying sequence across the patterns and no post-write verification checkpoint for the decision-recording workflow. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Under 50 lines, no external bundle files needed, and a clean section structure (Context, four Pattern subsections, Anti-Patterns) — the simple-skill case where well-organized sections alone merit a 5. All referenced paths (.squad/decisions, history.md, charters) are contextual pointers, not file references requiring navigation. | 5 / 5 |
