85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-structured, actionable audit skill that assumes Claude's competence and supplies concrete paths, a finding taxonomy, a report template, and verification steps. Its only weakness is mild length/redundancy across the Ground Rules and Full ADR Audit sections.
Suggestions
Consolidate the overlapping guidance between 'Ground Rules' and 'Full ADR Audit' — e.g., 'Read docs/adr/INDEX.md' and 'always audit the full ADR set' each appear twice — to remove redundancy.
Trim or group the 'Evidence Sources' path enumeration (it lists ~9 source categories) into a shorter canonical set with an 'adapt paths to the project' caveat, since much of the detail is project-layout contingent.
Consider folding the 'What To Check' bullets that overlap with 'Finding Categories' so each check item maps directly to the label it produces, reducing the reader's need to reconcile two parallel lists.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body assumes Claude's competence (it never explains what an ADR is), but it runs ~118 lines with mild redundancy — 'Read docs/adr/INDEX.md' and 'Always audit the full ADR set' recur across Ground Rules and the Full ADR Audit steps, and the Evidence Sources list is exhaustive. Not a 3 because some repetition and the long path enumeration could be tightened without losing clarity. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete guidance throughout: specific paths (docs/adr/INDEX.md, docs/fdr/, docs/GLOSSARY.md), a labeled finding taxonomy, a copy-ready markdown report template with an example ADR link, and explicit fix-application steps with verification commands. Not a 2 because the guidance is complete and specific rather than pseudocode-like or missing key details. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The Full ADR Audit is a clearly numbered 7-step sequence, the 'What To Check' list functions as a checklist, and the propose-only default plus post-edit verification ('markdown link checks or focused grep checks') provide explicit checkpoints. Not a 2 because validation/checkpoints are present rather than implicit. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist, so this is scored on the self-contained structure: the body is organized into well-labeled sections (Ground Rules, Full ADR Audit, Evidence Sources, What To Check, Finding Categories, Report Format, Applying Fixes) with no nested references. Not a 2 because navigation is easy and content is appropriately sectioned rather than a monolithic wall. | 3 / 3 |
