coordinator-source-of-truth

The complete file-by-file source-of-truth hierarchy for Squad: which files are authoritative, which are derived/append-only, who may write each one, who may read each one, and the precedence rules when they conflict. Squad coordinator loads this on demand when it needs to resolve a write conflict, decide where a piece of state belongs, or answer a 'who owns this file' question.

Quality

Content

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured reference skill that is concise, highly actionable for its purpose, and cleanly organized without relying on external bundle files. It respects Claude's competence and avoids redundant explanation.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is a lean reference table plus four terse rules with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows; the only prose ("State backend note") earns its place by clarifying a non-obvious backend distinction.

3 / 3

Actionability

As an instruction-only reference it gives concrete, specific guidance — exact file paths and decisive rules such as "If squad.agent.md and any other file conflict, squad.agent.md wins" — so the absence of code is not penalized.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

This is a single-purpose reference rather than a multi-step destructive workflow; the "Load this skill when" block sequences the decision contexts and the four rules are crisp, satisfying the simple-skill allowance for a score of 3.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

A compact, well-organized single file (~35 lines) with clear sections — State backend note, File hierarchy table, Rules — and no nested external references, meeting the under-50-lines allowance for a score of 3.

Description

100%

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, specific description that clearly states what the skill provides and when to use it, with natural trigger terms and a distinct niche. Third-person voice is correctly used throughout.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete actions — "resolve a write conflict, decide where a piece of state belongs, or answer a 'who owns this file' question" — rather than vague language, matching the score-3 anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

It explicitly answers both what (the file-by-file hierarchy, status, permissions, precedence) and when ("loads this on demand when it needs to resolve a write conflict..."), with explicit triggers, satisfying the score-3 anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

It includes natural phrasings a user or coordinator would actually say ("who owns this file", "where a piece of state belongs", "write conflict") with good coverage, fitting the score-3 anchor.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It targets a clear niche (Squad's internal file hierarchy) with distinct triggers and third-person voice, making it unlikely to fire for the wrong skill.
