100%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.
An exemplary skill body: lean, fully executable, and sequenced with explicit stop-and-report checkpoints at every failure mode. It correctly handles the environment-dependent parts (MCP tool names, credentials) with concrete instructions rather than vague direction.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence: no basic concepts are explained, and every line carries non-inferable operational detail ("Git already has a credential helper and a bot commit identity, so `git push` and `gh pr create` authenticate with no setup"; "Do not write `launch-result.json`"). Nothing reads as padding or over-explanation, matching anchor 5 rather than the 'minor instances that could be trimmed' of anchor 4. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | The PR section is a fully executable, copy-paste-ready bash block (branch, add, commit, push, `gh pr create` with concrete title and body), and the digest output is concretely specified (heading, UTC time line, newest-first linked bullets, closing count line). Edge cases are handled explicitly — missing credentials and MCP tools each have a defined stop-and-report action, and an empty result is defined as valid — matching anchor 5 with no missing key details. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear three-step sequence with explicit checkpoints at each failure point: preflight validation of the MCP server and credentials ("If either is missing, stop and report which one"), tool-name discovery with a defined failure action, empty-result handling, and "Capture the PR URL, then stop." The operation is not destructive or batch (a single-file write on a fresh timestamped branch, with "Re-running is safe" noted), so no cap applies, and the error paths are explicit rather than implicit, matching anchor 5 over anchor 4. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | This is a single-file skill with no bundle directories, and nothing in the body warrants splitting out — all content is essential operational detail. Sections (Inputs, Procedure with numbered steps, Notes) are well-organized and easy to navigate, so under the simple-skill guidance it merits anchor 5 rather than the organization gaps implied by anchor 4. | 5 / 5 |
