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.
The body is well-structured and highly actionable, with a concrete article template, an explicit validation checkpoint, and a recovery loop. Minor verbosity in enumeration lists and an inlined template slightly limit conciseness and progressive disclosure.
Suggestions
Move the Article Shape template into a references/ file (e.g. references/article-shape.md) and link to it from SKILL.md, keeping the main file as an overview to improve progressive disclosure.
Tighten the longer enumeration lists (search terms, preferred source types, eight evidence angles) to the highest-signal items to improve token efficiency.
Replace some of the prescriptive 'do not use' phrase lists with one positive example plus a short anti-pattern note to reduce list volume while preserving the intent.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly lean with no concept padding Claude already knows, but several extensive enumeration lists (search terms, source types, eight evidence angles, phrases to avoid) could be trimmed without losing guidance value. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides a copy-paste-ready article template, a concrete save path format (markdown/<YYYYMMDD>-<industry-slug>-industry-news-insight.md), specific example phrases to use and avoid, and a clear 900-1500 character budget. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Seven clearly sequenced steps include an explicit validation gate (do not write if evidence is thin/stale/one-sided; tell the user what is missing) and a recovery loop (add supplemental searches when a causal link lacks evidence). | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized into Overview, Workflow, Article Shape, and Quality Bar sections with no unnecessary external references, but the full article template and quality bar are inlined in an ~86-line body that could split one level deep. | 4 / 5 |
