A well-structured, largely actionable skill document whose Python API examples match the actual bundled hooks_manager.py. Its main flaws are redundancy (safety snippets and install examples repeated across sections) and a broken bundle contract: every listed reference file and most listed scripts do not exist, while their supposed content is inlined in SKILL.md.
Suggestions
Delete the duplicated code snippets in 'Safety Mechanisms' (doom-loop, iteration, cost checks already appear in full inside the autonomous-loop.sh listing) and replace them with one-line summaries.
Either create the referenced files (references/STOP-HOOK.md, references/SAFETY.md, references/HOOK-MECHANICS.md) and move the inlined stop-hook I/O specs and safety content into them, or remove the References section — currently all three paths are dangling. Do the same for the three missing scripts listed under 'Scripts'.
Merge 'Hook Configuration', 'Hook Types', and 'Operations' into a single section — they demonstrate the same installs three ways — and drop the repeated install_autonomous_hooks() example already shown in Quick Start.
Add an explicit validation feedback loop: after hooks.validate() reports errors, show how to fix and re-validate before proceeding (hook installation mutates .claude/settings.json).
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is concrete rather than fluffy — no paragraphs explaining concepts Claude already knows — but there is substantial duplication: the 'Safety Mechanisms' section re-pastes three code snippets already shown in full in the autonomous-loop.sh listing, and 'Operations' repeats the Quick Start's install_autonomous_hooks() call. Hook Configuration, Hook Types, and Operations also demonstrate the same installs three different ways. This is 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' (anchor 3) rather than anchor 2, since the padding is duplication of useful content rather than unnecessary explanation. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Mostly executable guidance: the full bash stop-hook script, the settings.json config, and Python calls that match the real scripts/hooks_manager.py API (verified: install_stop_hook, install_pre_tool_hook, install_post_tool_hook, install_session_hooks, remove_hook, get_status, validate all exist). Minor gaps keep it from anchor 5: 'project_dir' is undefined in the Quick Start snippet, and three of the four listed scripts (autonomous-loop.sh, analyze.py, hook_installer.py) do not exist in the bundle. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The core Stop-hook flow is clearly sequenced (numbered steps 1-4 with explicit CONTINUE/COMPLETE decision branches and the critical stop_hook_active check), and the hook lifecycle is enumerated with a validate() operation. It falls short of anchor 5 because there is no error-recovery feedback loop after validation ('if errors: fix and re-run') — validate() only prints errors — which matters since installing hooks mutates .claude/settings.json. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | There is real structure — dedicated References and Scripts sections with one-line descriptions, clearly signaled — but all three listed reference files (references/HOOK-MECHANICS.md, references/STOP-HOOK.md, references/SAFETY.md) are missing from the bundle, as are 3 of the 4 listed scripts. Meanwhile deep-dive content (stop-hook I/O specs, the full bash script, safety mechanisms) that those references should hold is inlined in SKILL.md. This lands at anchor 3 ('content that should be separate is inline') and is held below 4 by the dangling reference and script paths. | 3 / 5 |
