78%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 strong instruction-only skill body: a clearly sequenced workflow with two validation checkpoints, concrete templates and naming conventions, and exemplary progressive disclosure with a single real, well-signaled reference. Minor gaps are a slightly redundant checklist/sections overlap and the absence of an explicit fix-and-retry loop after the verification checks.
Suggestions
Add a short 'if verification fails, fix the PRD and re-check' instruction after the step-7 verification and Quality Bar so the validate-fix-retry loop is explicit, lifting workflow clarity to the top anchor.
Consolidate the required-sections list and the Quality Bar checklist, which partially restate each other and the workflow steps, to trim redundant tokens.
Make 'Scale detail with risk' and 'verify with reliable sources' more concrete (e.g., name the risky categories to expand and what counts as a reliable source) to close the remaining actionability gaps.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is prescriptive rather than explanatory — it tells Claude what to produce (product-bet formula, required sections, file-naming pattern) without teaching PRD concepts Claude already knows. It falls short of 'every token earns its place' because the required-sections list and the Quality Bar checklist partially restate workflow steps (e.g., 'Is there at least one useful diagram?' repeats step 4's requirement). | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance dominates: the product-bet template ('For [user], in [scenario], solve [problem], by [solution], measured by [metric]'), naming conventions ('markdown/<topic>-prd-<YYYYMMDD>.md'), an SVG link example, and a per-capability requirements coverage list. A few directives remain abstract ('Scale detail with risk', 'verify with reliable sources'), keeping it just below fully executable. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 7-step workflow is clearly sequenced and includes a post-write verification step ('After writing, verify the Markdown file exists and includes a diagram, goals/non-goals, requirements, acceptance criteria, metrics, launch plan, and open questions') plus a pre-finish Quality Bar checklist. It misses the top anchor's explicit feedback loop ('if errors: fix and re-validate') — no instruction on what to do when a check fails. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The SKILL.md body is a well-organized overview and the bulky template material is correctly split into one one-level-deep reference, signaled twice ('Read references/prd-template.md when drafting' and a Reference section with a one-line description of its contents); the referenced file exists in the bundle. This matches the top anchor: clear overview, well-signaled single-level reference, easy navigation. | 5 / 5 |
