88%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.
This is a well-engineered procedural skill: a five-step conditional workflow where every step checks state before acting, with executable commands, labeled outcomes, fallback chains, and exact user messages throughout. The only notable improvements are trimming a few justificatory asides and moving the inline GitHub Action YAML into an assets file.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is almost entirely executable commands, decision branches, and exact user-facing messages with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows. A few asides could be trimmed ('faster for daily use since the pre-commit hook runs on every commit', '~500ms per invocation', 'This prompts for the value securely via stdin') and the closing summary template is somewhat padded, matching 'Efficient; minor instances of over-explanation' rather than the lean anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Every step provides copy-paste-ready bash with labeled outcomes (NOT_INSTALLED, HOOK_ACTIVE, NO_HOOK, ACTION_EXISTS, GH_AVAILABLE), a complete fallback chain (npm -> npx -> NO_NODE), a full workflow YAML file, and exact secret-setting instructions. Only a trivial gap exists (parsing the JSON score value in Step 4), which does not undermine executability of the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 1-5 are strictly ordered with the governing rule 'check the current state first, then only act if something is missing', giving each step an explicit validation checkpoint. Error-recovery feedback loops are present (npm failure falls back to npx; NO_NODE stops with an exact user message) and the summary checklist closes the process. No destructive or batch operations, so the workflow-clarity cap does not apply. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are absent) and the body references no external files, so there is no nesting or buried content; sections are clearly organized for a self-contained procedural skill. The under-50-lines exception for a section-only score of 5 does not apply to this ~205-line body, and the inline GitHub Action YAML (~20 lines) could arguably live in an assets file, placing this at 'Good structure; most content is appropriately placed' rather than anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
