85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is well-structured and highly actionable with executable commands, a concrete response format, and clear recovery guidance. Its main weakness is redundancy, where the worked example and the Remember section repeat the process rather than adding new information.
Suggestions
Replace the duplicate "Example: Using Drizzle ORM" walkthrough with a single condensed trace that shows only the command and response, avoiding a re-listing of all five steps.
Trim the "Remember" section to points not already stated verbatim in the Process and Cache sections, or fold it into a one-line summary.
Remove or compress the explanatory framing about training data being outdated where it repeats concepts Claude already knows.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Most of the body is efficient and actionable, but the "Example: Using Drizzle ORM" section re-walks the same five steps already covered in "The Process", and "Remember" restates points made earlier, so it could be tightened. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Concrete executable commands ("/external-scout drizzle schemas", "Read: .tmp/external-context/drizzle/schemas.md"), a full JSON response example, a cache tree, and specific fallback steps make the guidance copy-paste ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear five-step sequence is paired with a check-response step (fresh/stale), a verification step ("Verify API signatures are correct"), and an Error Handling section providing feedback loops for recovery. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is self-contained with no bundle files, and the body is organized into well-signaled sections (Overview, Process, Cache Location, Error Handling) with no nested references, so navigation is easy. | 3 / 3 |
