This is a solid, highly actionable Promptfoo skill with excellent concrete examples covering configuration, assertions, prompt formats, and troubleshooting. Its main weaknesses are length — several advanced sections (long text handling, real-world example, advanced few-shot) could be offloaded to referenced files — and the lack of an integrated validation workflow tying the pieces together. The troubleshooting section with common gotchas (maxConcurrency placement, file:// resolution, relay 401 errors) is particularly valuable.
Suggestions
Move 'Long Text Handling', 'Real-World Example', and 'Advanced Few-Shot Implementation' sections into separate referenced files to reduce the main SKILL.md to a focused overview (~150 lines).
Add an explicit validation workflow: e.g., '1. Write config → 2. Run with echo provider to verify prompts → 3. Run single test case → 4. Run full eval → 5. Review results with `promptfoo view`' with checkpoints at each step.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is fairly comprehensive but includes some unnecessary verbosity. Sections like 'Long Text Handling' with a Chinese content curation example and the 'Real-World Example' section add bulk that could be in referenced files. Some explanations (e.g., 'open-source CLI tool for testing and comparing LLM outputs') are unnecessary for Claude. However, most content is practical and not padded with basic concept explanations. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Excellent actionability throughout — nearly every section contains executable code, complete YAML configs, working Python functions with proper signatures and return types, and specific CLI commands. The assertion table, file reference patterns, and troubleshooting section all provide concrete, copy-paste-ready guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The Quick Start provides a clear 3-step sequence, and the troubleshooting section addresses common failure modes with solutions. However, there's no explicit validation workflow for the overall eval setup process — no 'verify config before running' step, no feedback loop for when evals fail or produce unexpected results. The echo provider section partially addresses this but isn't integrated into a cohesive workflow. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill references `references/promptfoo_api.md` and a `./tiaogaoren/` example project, showing awareness of progressive disclosure. However, the bundle has no files, so these references are unverifiable. More importantly, the SKILL.md itself is quite long (~300+ lines) with sections like the full real-world example, long text handling, and advanced few-shot patterns that could be split into separate referenced files rather than inlined. | 2 / 3 |
