62%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured skill that clearly explains input capture patterns with good workflow sequencing and thorough coverage of edge cases and pitfalls. Its main weaknesses are that the examples are pseudocode-level rather than executable (the abstract 'capture input' / 'create overlay' operations aren't tied to concrete API calls or tool invocations), and the content is somewhat verbose for what could be more concise instruction. The pitfalls section is a genuine strength, providing practical guidance that prevents real mistakes.
Suggestions
Make examples more actionable by showing at least one complete, executable example using either wsh_* tool calls or curl commands, rather than relying entirely on abstract operation names.
Tighten the execution context preamble — it's 12 lines of boilerplate that could be reduced to 3-4 lines with a reference to the core skill for details.
Consider splitting the longer pattern sections (selection menus, text input, multi-step dialogs) into a referenced PATTERNS.md file, keeping SKILL.md as a concise overview with the core mechanism and approval workflow example.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is generally well-written but includes some unnecessary elaboration. The execution context preamble is lengthy, and sections like 'Focus Routing' over-explain when focus is/isn't needed. Some pitfall descriptions could be tighter (e.g., 'A captured terminal with no visual explanation is terrifying' is narrative padding). However, most content earns its place. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides clear patterns with pseudocode-level examples for approval workflows, selection menus, and text input, but none are truly executable — they use abstract operations like 'capture input', 'create overlay', 'receive input event' without concrete API calls, curl commands, or tool invocations. The preamble acknowledges this indirection but it still reduces copy-paste readiness. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Multi-step processes are clearly sequenced with numbered steps, explicit validation checkpoints (check mode before capturing, always release, always clean up), error recovery guidance (handle unexpected input, handle Ctrl+\ toggle mid-dialog), and clear anti-patterns (Bad vs Good capture timing). The pitfalls section serves as an excellent checklist for edge cases. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is well-structured with clear section headers progressing from mechanism to patterns to pitfalls. However, at ~200 lines it's a substantial single file with no references to supporting documents. The multi-step dialogs, focus routing, and text input patterns could be split into separate files. The reference to 'core skill' for WebSocket mechanics is appropriate but vague ('see the core skill for connection mechanics'). | 2 / 3 |
