82%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 unusually disciplined instruction-only skill: every section carries a specific, actionable rule, the decision tables are concrete, and the voice never explains what Claude already knows. The only costs are inline time-sensitive statistics and peripheral inventories that sit in the main file instead of a separate reference or an old-patterns note.
Suggestions
Move the September/October 2026 dispatch statistics and the "analyse-sessions gives the current split" pointer into a dated note or reference file so the time-sensitive numbers do not age inside the core rubric.
Relocate the "What consumes this" dispatch-site table to a short reference file (or fold it into the orchestrate skill), keeping SKILL.md focused on the selection rubric itself.
Tighten the "How much the effort levels are worth here is not measured" section to its two actionable rules (say when guessing; run analyse-sessions before changing a definition) and drop the surrounding meta-commentary.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and rule-per-sentence with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows, but inline time-sensitive statistics ("Over September and October 2026, about half of all dispatches in this repository went to `general-purpose`") sit outside any old-patterns section, and the "How much the effort levels are worth here is not measured" meta-commentary could be trimmed. Efficient overall with minor trims available — anchor 4, not 3 (no concept-explaining padding) and not 5 (the dated stats and meta section cost tokens without guiding a dispatch). | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully concrete guidance covering the common cases: a complete task-to-agent table, a complexity-label table, an executable command (grep -n '"<package>"' <workspace>/package.json), explicit defaults ("default to `implementer`"), and named exceptions ("Ignore a rating carrying `complexity:unconfirmed`", "a double review passes `effort: xhigh` on its second `reviewer` pass"). Every rule is specific enough to act on directly. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The decision procedure has a clear entry point ("Choose the agent definition for `$ARGUMENTS`. If it is empty, ask what the task is"), a defined output contract ("One name from `.claude/agents/`, and one sentence saying why"), and embedded checkpoints ("Check the semver delta before you choose, do not infer it"). Not 5 because the branching conditions — session age, plugin dispatch templates, the one-code-writing-agent-per-worktree rule — are distributed across sections the reader must synthesize rather than sequenced as a checklist; no destructive or batch operation applies a cap. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist and the single file is well-sectioned with clear headers, cohesive tables, and a logical flow from rubric to exceptions to consumers. Minor gap: peripheral content — the "What consumes this" dispatch-site inventory and the dated dispatch statistics — is inlined in SKILL.md where a one-level-deep reference file would keep the core rubric leaner, which fits anchor 4's "minor organization gaps" rather than anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
