generate-path-instructions

Generates path-specific instruction files (.github/instructions/*.md) with JIT loading via applyTo glob patterns. Performs LLM-driven repository analysis to discover file patterns and extract scope-specific rules. Use when the user requests scoped, framework-specific, or directory-specific rules for testing, components, docs, config files, or language-specific files to prevent context pollution. Works for code, documentation, configuration, and data files.

Quality

Content

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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

The body is well-structured, lean, and actionable with concrete commands and a clear validated workflow. Progressive disclosure is handled cleanly with real one-level-deep reference files.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence — no padded explanations of what glob patterns or instructions are — and each section earns its tokens with actionable detail; it does not fall to the level-2 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' anchor.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready commands such as 'cat references/scope_analysis_checklist.md' and 'python3 scripts/test_glob_pattern.py --pattern "tests/**/*.py" --limit 10', matching the fully-executable anchor.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear 7-step sequence with explicit validation in Step 6 (validate_skill.py, glob verification, rule-specificity checks), a final checklist, and iteration feedback loops, matching the explicit-validation-checkpoint anchor.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

SKILL.md is a concise overview with one-level-deep, clearly signaled references to real bundle files (scope_analysis_checklist.md, pattern_construction.md, rule_discovery_checklist.md, template_examples.md, context_economics.md) listed in the directory; no nested reference chains.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is concrete, triggers-laden, and complete, naming specific actions and an explicit 'Use when' clause with a clearly distinct niche. Minor jargon ('JIT loading', 'applyTo glob patterns') does not undermine natural trigger coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Generates path-specific instruction files (.github/instructions/*.md)', 'discover file patterns', and 'extract scope-specific rules' — matching the multi-action anchor rather than the single-domain level 2.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (generates path-specific instruction files with JIT loading) and 'when' via an explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause, matching the top anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

The 'Use when the user requests scoped, framework-specific, or directory-specific rules for testing, components, docs, config files, or language-specific files' clause covers natural terms users would say across several scopes; not reduced to 2 because common variations (testing, docs, config) are all present.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is clearly scoped to path-specific instructions and even distinguishes itself from global instructions, making conflict with unrelated skills unlikely.
