88%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.
A well-built instructional skill: the workflow is fully sequenced with validation checkpoints and recovery fallbacks, and the guidance is unusually concrete (formats, worked patterns, required output structure). Its only real costs are mild redundancy around the no-speculation rules and a single-file layout that is slightly longer than a lean SKILL.md needs to be.
Suggestions
Consolidate the three separate no-speculation/uncertainty statements (Input, step 3, Quality Rules) into a single rule to trim tokens without losing meaning.
Move the 10-term concept list and the 12-section required output structure into a references/ file (e.g., references/output-structure.md) to slim the SKILL.md body to an overview plus workflow.
Tighten the Quality Rules list by merging overlapping rules (e.g., the analogy rules and the no-dramatic-claims rule) into fewer, sharper statements.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is largely lean — no explanations of finance concepts Claude already knows, just operational lists, formats, and rules. Not a 5 because the no-speculation principle is stated three times ("Do not invent facts" in Input, "keep the original uncertainty visible" in step 3, "tell the reader which parts are assumptions" in Quality Rules), which could be consolidated into one rule. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully concrete for an instruction-only skill: exact input/output path patterns, an extraction note table with five defined fields, a four-field concept-card format, a worked causal-chain example pattern, a required 12-section output structure, an explicit write-failure fallback ("If writing fails, output the full Markdown in chat"), and UTF-8/date conventions. Nothing is left as vague direction. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly sequenced five-step workflow (extract → translate concepts → expand the chain → add examples/transfer → write) with explicit checkpoints: ask when no upstream file exists, state the newest-file assumption in output metadata, a five-item "Quick Validation" checklist before finishing, and a recovery fallback if file writing fails. Not a 4 because validation is explicit rather than implicit and the checklist covers content, filename date, and disclaimer. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist, so all content lives in SKILL.md under clean, well-ordered headers (Overview, Input, Workflow with numbered steps, Output, Quality Rules, Quick Validation) — easy to navigate. Not a 5 because at ~160 lines the body exceeds the "under 50 lines, no external references needed" bar, and self-contained blocks like the 10-term concept list and the 12-section output structure are natural candidates for a reference file. | 4 / 5 |
