56%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 well-organized and actionable with concrete commands, templates, and checklists, but it is notably verbose with heavy repetition of the four task types and is monolithic with no progressive disclosure to separate reference files. The strongest dimension is actionability; the weakest is conciseness.
Suggestions
Consolidate the repeated four-task-type listings (Overview table, Classification table, Classification Examples, Decision Tree, Specialized Generators) into one routing table plus the decision tree, cutting the redundant restatements to reduce token load.
Move the per-generator structure/best-practice/iteration summaries into a separate reference file (e.g. references/generators.md) and link to it from SKILL.md, enabling progressive disclosure instead of inlining all four.
Trim the "Ralph Philosophy" explainer and the DO/DON'T section, which restate concepts and pad length without adding executable guidance that isn't already covered by the checklists.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | At ~430 lines the body is noticeably verbose and restates the four task types repeatedly (Overview table, Classification table, Classification Examples, Decision Tree, Generator Summaries, Specialized Generators list), and the "Ralph Philosophy" explainer plus DO/DON'T sections pad length beyond what the action requires. | 2 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides copy-paste-ready templates ("Use ralph-prompt-builder to create a prompt for: ...") and an executable bash invocation ("/ralph-wiggum:ralph-loop ... --completion-promise ... --max-iterations"), plus concrete numeric max-iteration tables and adjustment factors; the only gap is that actual prompt generation is delegated to sub-generators not shown in this file. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The five-step workflow (Describe → Review Classification → Provide Inputs → Generate & Review → Execute) is clearly sequenced with review checkpoints in Step 2 ("Does this classification look correct?") and Step 4, plus Input/Output checklists, but it lacks an explicit validate-then-retry feedback loop on the generated prompt. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ absent) and all ~430 lines are inlined in SKILL.md with only section headers for structure; the per-generator structure summaries are content that could live in separate reference files but is instead inlined, so it sits at the "some structure but could be better organized" anchor rather than a 4. | 3 / 5 |
