86%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.
The body is an exemplar of token efficiency: a terse, well-sequenced 8-step panel-review procedure with explicit verification and filtering checkpoints, concrete disposition categories, and a defined output location. Its only weaknesses are a few abstract steps ('build one evidence package', 'select representative users') that lack concrete examples, and the absence of an explicit error-recovery loop after claim verification.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is a lean 8-step imperative list with zero padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows — every line instructs ("Read the controlling plan or specification first", "Verify load-bearing claims against source before accepting them"). This matches 'lean and efficient; assumes Claude's competence; every token earns its place'. Not a 4 because there is nothing to trim. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is mostly executable for an instruction-only skill: concrete filtering criteria ("Drop style preferences and 'a different design would also work'", "Trace a call site before you accept a bug claim"), named synthesis categories ("Fix before change / Fix now / Follow-up / No action"), and a specific output location ("active `.plans/<task>.md`"). Minor gaps keep it at 4: "Build one evidence package" and "Select representative users plus specialists" give no example format or selection method. Not a 3 because the guidance is specific and directive, not pseudocode or high-level hints; not a 5 because a few steps lack concrete examples. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 8-step sequence with validation checkpoints — step 5 ("Verify load-bearing claims against source before accepting them") and step 6's filtering gate with per-finding justification ("Put each dropped finding under No action with one reason"). Not a 5 because there is no explicit error-recovery/feedback loop (e.g. what to do when a reviewer claim fails verification beyond dropping it); not a 3 because checkpoints are present and explicit, not implicit. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | This is a simple skill under 50 lines with no need for external references — the body is a single well-organized numbered procedure with a clear heading, and no bundle files exist or are needed. Per the simple-skill guideline this matches the top anchor for a self-contained, well-organized skill. | 5 / 5 |
