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 well-structured, appropriately concise instruction skill: the body stays an overview, defers detail to six real, clearly-labeled reference files, and provides concrete templates, rules, and checklists throughout. The sequence is implied by section order rather than explicitly enumerated, and a couple of sections repeat guidance.
Suggestions
Merge the Core Principles bullet on progressive disclosure with the 'Progressive Disclosure Pattern' section (and fold 'Writing Effective Descriptions' into the 'Description rules') to remove duplicated guidance and trim tokens.
Add one-line inline summaries of the three skill categories in 'Before You Start' so the main workflow does not depend on a reference file for an essential decision step.
Consider presenting the end-to-end skill-building process as an explicitly numbered sequence (use cases → category → author → test → finalize checklist) to complement the section-implied order.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly lean, rule-dense content (name rules, char limits, symptom→fix table) with only minor redundancy: progressive disclosure is stated both as Core Principle #2 and again in its own full section, and "Writing Effective Descriptions" partially restates the earlier "Description rules". Efficient but could be trimmed — matches the 4 anchor, not the every-token-earns-its-place bar of 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Copy-paste-ready use-case template, YAML frontmatter template, directory layout, good/bad description examples, and a final checklist give concrete executable guidance; minor gaps remain, e.g. the "identify which category" step of the workflow defers entirely to patterns.md with no inline one-line category summaries. Fits the 4 anchor (mostly executable, minor gaps) rather than 5's fully-covered common cases. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear sequence is implied by section order (define use cases → identify category → structure → frontmatter → description → testing → troubleshooting → checklist) with checkpoints (three testing dimensions, a final checklist, a symptom→fix troubleshooting table as a feedback loop), but there is no explicit numbered end-to-end process, matching the 4 anchor rather than 5's explicit validate→fix→retry loop structure. Not a destructive/batch skill, so the cap-at-3 rule does not apply. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A 145-line overview (well under the 500-line budget) with six one-level-deep references, all verified to exist in references/, each clearly signaled in a Quick Reference section with a one-line description of its purpose. Content is appropriately split (details on testing, troubleshooting, patterns, and best practices live in references) — matches the 5 anchor. | 5 / 5 |
