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 excellent operational skill body: fully executable commands and complete wire-format JSON examples, a verified create-then-check workflow, and clean one-level-deep progressive disclosure into five real reference files. The only improvements are minor — removing the duplicated suppression-rules command table and adding an explicit pre-delete confirmation step.
Suggestions
Deduplicate the suppression-rules command table: it appears both in the main CLI Commands table and again verbatim in the Suppression Rules section — keep one (the Suppression Rules section) and drop the other.
Add an explicit confirm-before-delete checkpoint to the destructive workflows (e.g., "run `cx alerts get <id>` to confirm you are deleting the right alert before `cx alerts delete`"), which would also complete the feedback-loop pattern for destructive operations.
Consider moving the 12-row alert-type table into references/alert-schemas.md (keeping only the 3-4 most common types inline), since the reference file already promises complete coverage of all 12 types.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and operational — command tables, wire-format JSON payloads, jq pipelines, and behavioral principles with no conceptual padding (no "what is an alert" explanations). Minor trim opportunities keep it below a 5: the suppression-rules command table appears twice (in the main CLI table and again in the Suppression Rules section), and the 12-type alert table overlaps content already promised by references/alert-schemas.md. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable throughout: exact commands with flags (`cx alerts list --name "error"`, `cx alerts create --from-file alert.json`, `cx alerts list -o json | jq '.[] | select(.status == "ALERTING")'`), three complete copy-paste-ready JSON payloads in the actual API wire format, and a concrete tip ("use `cx alerts get <existing-id> -o json` to get a working template"). Confirmed not a 4: commands and examples cover the common cases end-to-end with no missing key details. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Create Workflow is a clear 6-step sequence ending in an explicit verification step ("Verify with `cx alerts list --name \"<alert name>\"`") and reinforced by the principle "Verify after create", and destructive operations get safety guidance ("Disable, don't delete"). Not a 5: there is no explicit confirm-before-delete checkpoint (e.g., get the alert to confirm the right target before `delete`) and no error-recovery guidance for failed creates, leaving minor validation gaps relative to the anchor-5 feedback-loop standard. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A clear overview with five well-signaled, one-level-deep references (all verified to exist in ./references/), each annotated with its scope in the Additional Resources section, plus an inline pointer during the workflow step where it is needed ("use the API wire format (see references/alert-schemas.md...)"). Detail is appropriately split — common-case examples and quick-lookup tables inline, bulk schema detail in references. Confirmed not a 4: navigation is easy, references are clearly signaled, and nothing that belongs in a reference is needlessly inlined. | 5 / 5 |
