96%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 excellent instructional skill body: lean, repo-specific, fully executable, and sequenced with genuine adversarial verification loops. The sole dimension below ceiling is progressive disclosure — the skill is monolithic at ~63 lines, though it appropriately delegates style to an exemplar file and needs no other external references.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense, imperative, and carries only repo-specific judgment (canonical exemplar v0.0.24 vs. old-verbose v0.0.23, dual-repo PR lookup, credit rules, cut lists) that Claude cannot know. It never explains concepts Claude already knows, and every rule is load-bearing for the curation task. Anchor 4 ('minor over-explanation that could be trimmed') fits less well — lines like the cut-priority and credit rules are all actionable policy, not padding. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable guidance throughout: exact commands (`git tag --sort=-creatordate | head -1`, `gh pr view <num> --json title,body,author`, the complete `gh release create` invocation), exact file paths, branch naming (`claude/v<version>`), PR title format, concrete bullet exemplars ("Redesigned the app layout"), and the exact changelog URL template. Anchor 4's 'minor gaps' does not apply — copy-paste-ready commands cover the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Five clearly numbered sections in correct dependency order with explicit validation checkpoints: branch-up-to-date check with flagging, PR-body-vs-commit-subject disagreement resolution, a reviewer subagent pass, adversarial verification subagents returning APPLY/APPLY-MODIFIED/REJECT, and 'Apply only verified comments'. This matches the anchor-5 pattern (sequence + explicit validation + feedback loops), exceeding anchor 4 which allows minor validation gaps. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized single-file skill with clear section navigation, and it correctly points to a one-level-deep external exemplar (`docs/release-notes/v0.0.24.md`) rather than inlining its style. However, the body is ~63 lines — above the under-50-line simple-skill exception that would let well-organized sections alone score 5 — and the detailed curation rules (the 'Do NOT mention' list) could conceivably live in a reference file. Anchor 5 fits slightly less well than anchor 4. | 4 / 5 |
