93%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 instruction-only skill body: terse, concrete, and reader-focused, with specific editorial rules, an explicit accuracy bar, and a clear one-level reference to the deslop skill for AI tells. The only minor gap is the absence of an explicit ordering or final self-check step across its editorial sections.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~35-line body is lean with zero padding: it never explains concepts Claude already knows (no "what SEO is" asides) and every bullet is a directive that earns its tokens, e.g., "Answer straight. \"No\" and \"it costs money\" are complete answers." This matches the anchor for lean, efficient content that assumes Claude's competence; a 4 would require noticeable over-explanation, which is absent. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Although it is an instruction-only skill with no code (not penalized per the rubric's scoring notes), the guidance is concrete and executable: exact artifacts to cut ("method footers, \"verbatim\" assurances, tool or API names, \"re-checked on\" dates"), a specific accuracy procedure ("check product claims against the code"), a concrete naming rule ("an approach is a \"strategy,\" never a \"play\""), and an explicit command ("Run prettier on the files you touch"). It covers the common cases (new posts, editing others' posts, playbook entries), matching the fully executable anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The body organizes the work into clear, unambiguous sections (write for the reader → cut → accuracy → voice → formatting) for a single-task editorial skill, but there is no explicit sequence or final verification step such as re-reading the draft against the checklist. This sits between the anchor for a clear sequence with most checkpoints (4) and the fully validated anchor (5), and no destructive/batch cap applies. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines with no need for bundle files (none exist in references/, scripts/, or assets/) and is organized into well-labeled sections, satisfying the simple-skill exception. Its single external reference — "[deslop skill](../deslop/SKILL.md)" — is clearly signaled and exactly one level deep, matching the anchor for a clear overview with well-signaled references. | 5 / 5 |
