47%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill has excellent workflow structure with clear sequencing, verdicts, and reporting formats, but suffers significantly from verbosity. The 7 conflict dimensions are thoroughly specified but could be condensed dramatically — much of the content describes what to look for in natural language rather than providing executable detection logic. The inline specification of all dimensions makes the skill unnecessarily long for a SKILL.md that should serve as an overview.
Suggestions
Condense the 7 conflict dimensions into a compact reference table (dimension | what to flag | severity) and move detailed check logic, allowed exceptions, and examples into a separate reference file like `dimensions.md`.
Replace natural language detection descriptions ('Scan prompt content for...') with concrete regex patterns or executable grep/search commands that can actually perform the checks.
Remove explanatory tables like 'Block | What It Contains' and 'Section | Key Content' — Claude can parse XML tags and markdown sections without being told what they contain.
Move the detailed output format template and fix recommendation structure to a separate `report-format.md` to keep the main skill focused on the process logic.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is extremely verbose at ~300+ lines. It explains parsing structures, block definitions, and detection patterns in exhaustive detail that Claude could infer from much shorter instructions. Tables like 'Block | What It Contains' and 'Section | Key Content' describe obvious XML tag semantics. The 7 dimensions could be expressed far more concisely. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides concrete grep commands and structured output formats, but most of the 'checking' logic is described rather than implemented as executable code. The conflict detection across 7 dimensions is described in natural language checks ('Scan prompt content for...') rather than providing executable validation scripts or concrete pattern-matching code. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 7-step process is clearly sequenced from scope determination through discovery, parsing, conflict checking, aggregation, and reporting. It includes explicit validation checkpoints (success criteria checklist), error classification (error/warning/info), verdict thresholds, and fix recommendation structure with before/after examples. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill references one external file (separation-rules.md) in required_reading, which is appropriate, but the body itself is monolithic — all 7 conflict dimensions with their full check logic, severity rules, and exceptions are inlined rather than being split into a reference file. The detailed dimension specifications would benefit from being in a separate reference document. | 2 / 3 |
