67%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-structured, actionable procedural skill with a strong evidence-gate validation checkpoint. The main drag on quality is redundancy across the Workflow, Article Shape, and Quality Bar sections and the absence of a complete worked example.
Suggestions
Consolidate the evidence-gate, transition-background, and template-fatuity rules so each is stated once (in the Workflow) and the Quality Bar references rather than repeats them, cutting roughly 10-15 lines.
Add one short worked example article (filled Article Shape) so the expected output format is unambiguous for the common case.
Tighten the 'Judge before writing' step into a concrete checkpoint with explicit pass criteria, mirroring the evidence gate, to remove the soft-guidance gap in the workflow.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is instruction-dense with no concept padding Claude already knows, but the evidence-gate, transition-background, and template-fatigue guidance is each restated across the Workflow, Article Shape, and Quality Bar sections, so it could be tightened by deduplication. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is concrete and executable for an instruction skill — numeric thresholds (2+ sources, 900-1500 characters, 3-5 headings), an exact filename pattern, a ready return message, and a template skeleton — but it lacks a fully worked example article covering a common case. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 6-step sequence is clear and the evidence gate is an explicit validation checkpoint with a detailed pass/fail checklist and a defined stop action, but the secondary 'Judge before writing' checkpoint is soft guidance and there is no fix-and-retry recovery loop. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is well organized into Goal, Workflow, Article Shape, and Quality Bar sections with no nested references, and as a self-contained procedural skill it needs no external files; the single monolithic file over 50 lines with some cross-section redundancy keeps it just below the top anchor. | 4 / 5 |
