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.
An exemplary skill body: a tightly sequenced six-step workflow with real validation checkpoints and feedback loops, copy-paste-ready commands with expected outputs, and a clean overview-plus-references split where every referenced bundle file exists and nothing nests further. The only nit is a handful of rhetorical flourishes in the approval/inventory section that could be tightened for token efficiency.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and imperative throughout — no time is spent explaining concepts Claude already knows (no "what HTML is", no library tutorials), and every section carries operational instructions. Not a 5 because a few rhetorical justifications could be trimmed, e.g., "the removals are the load-bearing rows — a behavior nobody can account for is a regression that was never filed, and the author is the last person able to notice it" and "Expect the count of intentional removals to be wrong on the first pass"; the point survives in half the tokens. Comfortably above the 3 anchor, which requires unnecessary explanation. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable guidance: copy-paste-ready bash for building the board (with SKILL_ROOT resolution and placeholders clearly marked), serving it with BOARD_URL extraction guarded by `test -n "$BOARD_URL"`, and the reload API curl with its expected `{"reloaded":true}` response; artifact formats (decision contract fields, board.json via references/board-contract.md, approved.json contents) are enumerated field-by-field, and fallbacks are specified when a command path fails. This matches the 5 anchor (copy-paste ready commands covering the common cases) rather than 4, which allows minor gaps. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Six clearly sequenced steps with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops: the builder's rejection conditions ("byte-identical candidates, path traversal, missing declared states") with the instruction to fix the candidate rather than weaken the boundary, expected `BOARD_BUILT variants=...` output, the BOARD_URL guard, the reload-vs-reserve distinction with expected response, an explicit stop condition ("Stop adding rounds when feedback no longer changes the decision"), an approval gate ("Then—and only then—implement"), and a disposition-recheck loop for the behavior inventory. Matches the 5 anchor (explicit validation, error-recovery loops, checklists). | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The SKILL.md body is an appropriate overview that offloads detail to one-level-deep, clearly signaled resources: "Read `references/interaction-design-method.md` before proposing the candidate architectures" and "Create `board.json` using `references/board-contract.md`", plus the `scripts/build_board.py` invocation. All referenced paths exist in the bundle, the reference files contain no further nested references, and the `assets/design-board-template.html` file is consumed by the script rather than orphaned. Clean match for the 5 anchor. | 5 / 5 |
