92%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 well-crafted protocol skill: deterministic rules with explicit enforcement checkpoints, concrete refusal dialogue, and worked examples covering edge cases including deadlock and reviewer misassignment. The only weakness is mild redundancy between the Context paragraph, the Anti-Patterns list, and the numbered rules.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient: lean numbered rules ('The Coordinator MUST verify that the selected agent is NOT the original author'), no explanations of concepts Claude already knows, and examples that earn their place. Not 5 because the Context paragraph's closing sentences and several Anti-Patterns ('Allowing the original author to self-revise after rejection', 'Skipping verification that the revision agent is not the original author') restate rules 1-7 and could be trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully actionable instruction-only guidance: unambiguous MUST/NOT directives, exact refusal phrasing ('The original author is locked out. Please name a different agent.'), and four worked examples covering the common cases (reassign, escalate, deadlock, reviewer mis-naming the author). Per the scoring notes, absence of code is not penalized when guidance is this concrete. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear sequence with an explicit validation checkpoint ('Before spawning a revision agent, the Coordinator MUST verify that the selected agent is NOT the original author'), a refuse-and-retry feedback loop (Example 4), per-cycle lockout progression (rule 6), and deadlock escalation to the user (rule 7, Example 3). This matches the anchor for explicit validation steps with feedback loops for error recovery. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is self-contained with no bundle files, and the body is well organized into Context / Patterns / Examples / Anti-Patterns sections with nothing that clearly belongs in a separate file. Per the scoring notes, a well-organized single-purpose skill with no need for external references scores 5 on progressive disclosure. | 5 / 5 |
