81%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 well-structured workflow-and-guardrail skill with strong sequencing, validation, and reference routing. It is mostly lean and actionable, with minor redundancy and reliance on external documentation as the only weak points.
Suggestions
Consolidate the repeated 'do not search/read installed gem source' guardrail into Working boundaries and reference it once elsewhere to reduce redundancy.
Add a minimal ext.yml manifest snippet illustrating aligned manifest paths, unit ids, and files to make the Scaffold steps copy-paste concrete.
Move the multi-step documentation-fallback procedure into a short referenced section or keep only the decision rule inline to tighten the overview.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly lean directive prose that assumes competence and avoids explaining basics, but a few guardrails repeat across sections (e.g., 'do not search installed gem source' recurs in Documentation fallback and Working boundaries) and could be consolidated. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete commands and paths are given ('clacky ext new <id>', 'clacky ext verify', '~/.clacky/ext/local/<id>/') plus a routing table to specific references, though it is policy-heavy and omits example manifest snippets. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Sequenced phases (Before designing, Scaffold, Debug & verify, Publish, Handoff) with explicit validation checkpoints ('Run clacky ext verify; resolve errors'), rerun-after-fix feedback loops, and destructive operations gated on explicit request. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Clear one-level-deep capability→reference table routes detail to external docs with good navigation, but routing relies on fetchable web URLs and the inlined documentation-fallback procedure is content that arguably belongs in a reference. | 4 / 5 |
