82%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 strongly actionable, information-dense reference: exact IDs, executable templates, JQL, and error-message gotchas make it nearly copy-paste ready. Its only weaknesses are the general best-practice AC section that pads token cost and a missing post-creation verification step.
Suggestions
Move the general 'Writing Good Acceptance Criteria' best practices into a reference file (e.g., references/acceptance-criteria.md), keeping only the ADF format requirement and a link inline.
Add a brief post-creation validation step, e.g., 'After creating, verify the issue: fetch it and confirm the AC field rendered as a bullet list, not literal \n characters.'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense with project-specific facts Claude cannot know (issue-type IDs, field IDs, exact ADF error messages, gotchas) with no padding. However, the ~30-line 'Writing Good Acceptance Criteria' section teaches general AC-vs-DoD best practices that are largely not project-specific and could be trimmed, matching 'efficient; minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed' rather than the fully lean score-5 anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Everything is copy-paste ready: exact field IDs ('customfield_10614', 'customfield_10020'), a complete executable ADF JSON template, runnable JQL queries, concrete error messages to avoid ('Number value expected as the Sprint id.'), and an explicit sprint-ID lookup procedure. This fully matches the 'fully executable; copy-paste ready' anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The single task (create a correctly formed issue) is unambiguous, with an explicit pre-step for sprint lookup ('Never hardcode sprint IDs... Always look up the active sprint at call time') and expected error messages for the common failure modes. It falls short of 5 because there is no explicit post-creation validation step (e.g., verify the created issue or its AC rendering), leaving a minor validation gap. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single-file skill (~155 lines) with clear, well-ordered section headers (Cloud ID, Issue Type IDs, Key Fields, formats, JQL, Gotchas) that is easy to navigate, and no bundle files exist. It is not 5 because the file exceeds the simple-skill threshold and the general AC-writing guidance could be split into a reference file, though overall structure is good. | 4 / 5 |
