86%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.
An exemplary lean pointer skill: it resists inlining the porting rules, forces fetching the source-of-truth document, and defines a write-back loop for learnings. The only weaknesses are unspecified mechanics for the save_document patch call and no explicit verification step for the finished port beyond following the doc.
Suggestions
Show a minimal get_document call and a minimal save_document patch payload (e.g., one-line before/after snippet) so the write-back step is copy-paste executable rather than requiring the model to guess the patch format.
Name the 'matching sections' of the Best Practices doc (or instruct how to find them) so 'Put it in the matching section' is unambiguous when saving learnings.
Add a brief end-of-work verification step, e.g. 'Re-read the doc section for the component you touched and confirm the port/audit satisfies each rule before reporting done.'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every line earns its place: document ID, URL, fetch instruction, fallback rule, and a write-back rule — no explanation of what Compose or React Native is, no padding. Matches the score-5 anchor ('assumes Claude's competence'); the 4 anchor's 'minor instances of over-explanation' do not apply. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance: 'Fetch the document with the Linear MCP get_document tool, using the ID above' and 'add it to the document with save_document using patch'. It falls short of the score-5 anchor because there are no examples — the patch payload format and what a 'matching section' looks like are unspecified, leaving minor gaps. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear three-phase sequence (fetch doc → follow it for the whole port/audit, with an explicit stop-and-ask checkpoint if the MCP server is unavailable → save learnings back and tell the user). It sits at the score-4 anchor: sequence and an availability checkpoint are present, but mid-work validation is delegated entirely to the external doc and there is no end-of-work verification loop, so the score-5 anchor's 'explicit validation steps; feedback loops' is not fully met. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a short, well-organized overview ('Before starting' / 'After finishing') pointing to one clearly signaled, one-level-deep reference — the Linear Best Practices document with both ID and URL — which is exactly where the bulk detail belongs. This matches the score-5 anchor ('clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references'); no bundle files exist to nest or bury. | 5 / 5 |
