92%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 high-quality instruction-only skill body: concrete commands for every step, a pre-committed report shape with a mechanical final verification, explicit fallbacks for absent tooling, and a single well-placed one-level-deep reference. The only cost is mild verbosity in a few rationale passages, which does not obscure the procedure.
Suggestions
Tighten the occasional rhetorical framing (e.g. the Step 0 justification and the edit-discipline paragraph in 'When a step cannot run') to recover tokens without losing the rules.
Consider moving the per-tier D-C/D-H/D-M/D-L definitions in 'Finding format' into references/checklist.md alongside the other tier-tagged rules to slim the body further.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and assumes Claude's competence — no explanations of git, Obsidian, or what documentation review is — with nearly every sentence carrying project-specific rules (tier definitions, MCP caveats, false-positive shapes). A few rhetorical framings ('a run that leaves a differently-shaped file has produced nothing, however good the review inside it') and the edit-discipline digression could be trimmed, which keeps it just below the 'every token earns its place' anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable throughout: a verbatim heredoc for the report skeleton, copy-paste git diff/comm/grep pipelines for claim cross-checking and broken-link detection, a claim-shape-to-check mapping table, a concrete finding block format, and a closing two-command verification with expected output ('Both must print 3'). Common cases are covered with specific commands rather than descriptions. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 0–5 are clearly sequenced with an explicit validation checkpoint at the end (the grep-count check before finishing) and real error-recovery paths: 'No step is a stop' gives a shell fallback for every check when the Obsidian MCP is absent, and known false-positive shapes are enumerated so findings can be corrected. The operation is read-only by default, so the destructive/batch cap does not apply. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The single bundle reference is real (references/checklist.md exists, 70 lines) and well signaled at the point of need — 'The full per-section checklist … is in references/checklist.md; on a --full sweep, work through it page by page.' It is exactly one level deep (the checklist points back to SKILL.md, not to further files), and the split is appropriate: the always-needed procedure stays inline while the per-page sweep checklist lives in the reference. | 5 / 5 |
