92%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.
The body is an exemplary instruction-only skill contract: fully concrete path, status, slug, and result-field specifications, a clearly sequenced workflow with an explicit verification step and error-recovery semantics, and correct delegation of the ADR schema to a single well-signaled reference file. The only improvement opportunity is mild redundancy from constraints restated across multiple sections.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense, directive, and free of concept explanations Claude already knows, but several constraints repeat across sections — immutability appears in steps 2 and 5 and Boundaries, and caller-ownership is stated in Purpose, Qualification handoff, step 4, and step 6 — so some trimming is possible, fitting anchor 4 rather than 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | As an instruction-only skill the guidance is fully concrete: the exact path pattern 'context/decisions/YYYY-MM-DD-<decision-slug>.md', the exact allowed status vocabulary, slug and collision policy, and exact enumerated result fields for every outcome ('status, adr_path, decision, decision_status, created, supersedes, verification'), with the ADR schema delegated by name to a real file. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Six clearly sequenced steps include an explicit verification checklist in step 5 ('no existing ADR was modified') and error-recovery feedback via the 'blocked' result with 'problem', 'impact', and 'required_action', plus well-defined non-blocking outcomes — matching the anchor with validation steps, feedback loops, and a checklist. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single one-level-deep reference ('references/adr-template.md', which exists) is clearly signaled as 'the sole authority for the persisted ADR schema', and the template content is appropriately kept out of the body ('do not restate or invent a parallel section contract here'), with well-organized sections throughout. | 5 / 5 |
