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

78%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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: an information-dense hierarchy table, a concise rules section with explicit precedence, and clear load triggers. It stays lean and assumes Claude's competence while remaining fully actionable as a lookup resource.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is a lean reference table plus a short rules section that assumes Claude's competence; the 'State backend note' is mildly explanatory but earns its place by distinguishing mutable state from static config and naming the runtime tools.

4 / 5

Actionability

As a reference skill it gives concrete, actionable guidance — exact file paths, explicit who-may-write/who-may-read roles, and enforceable rules ('Agents may only write to files listed in their Who May Write column') — with only minor gaps in edge-case handling.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The load-trigger blockquote and the precedence rule ('If squad.agent.md and any other file conflict, squad.agent.md wins') give a clear decision path for a lookup skill; no destructive/batch workflow requires validation checkpoints here.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A self-contained, well-organized skill under 50 lines with clearly labeled sections (State backend note, File hierarchy table, Rules) and no need for external bundle references.

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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 contains and when to load it, using natural trigger phrases in third person. It is information-dense rather than padded.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete facets of the hierarchy (authoritative vs derived/append-only, who-may-write, who-may-read, precedence rules) plus concrete trigger actions ('resolve a write conflict, decide where a piece of state belongs, or answer a who owns this file question'), giving comprehensive coverage.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (the full file-by-file hierarchy and its columns) and 'when' ('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') with concrete trigger phrases, in third person.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural phrases like 'who owns this file', 'where a piece of state belongs', and 'resolve a write conflict' map well to what a user would say, though the vocabulary is specialized to Squad internals and lacks broader synonyms.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Scoped tightly to Squad's source-of-truth file hierarchy with niche-specific triggers, making conflict with unrelated skills unlikely.
