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.
A lean, highly actionable review workflow with executable commands, a concrete architecture checklist, and a clear classification scheme. The main issues are presentational inconsistencies (2b numbering, undefined $SCOPE) and an unspecified report format in the final step.
Suggestions
Fix the step numbering (renumber 2b into the main sequence) and use one variable consistently — either $ARGUMENTS or $SCOPE — since $SCOPE is currently undefined.
Add a brief report template in step 5 (e.g., findings grouped by 🔴/🟡/🟢/✨ with file:line references, then the verdict line) so output shape is unambiguous.
State what to do when automated checks fail (e.g., treat each failure as a finding and include it in the classification step) to close the validation feedback loop.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is roughly 44 lines with zero padding: every line is an instruction, command, or checklist item, and it assumes Claude's competence without explaining concepts it already knows. This matches anchor 5 ('every token earns its place'). | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Steps 1-2 provide copy-paste ready commands (git diff, tsc, eslint, vitest) and step 3 is a concrete, checkable pattern list, but step 5 ('Produce report with verdict') gives no report structure. This is anchor 4 ('concrete commands with minor gaps'), not 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The sequence (identify files, automated checks, architecture validation, manual pattern check, classify, report) is clear with the automated checks acting as validation checkpoints — anchor 4. It falls short of 5 due to inconsistent step numbering (2b), the undefined $SCOPE variable after 'Scope: $ARGUMENTS', and no guidance on handling check failures, though as a read-only review skill it avoids the destructive-operation cap. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines with no need for external bundle files, and its sections are well organized; per the simple-skill guideline this earns anchor 5. The only external pointers (docs/ARCHITECTURE.md and the /review-check-architecture skill) are clearly signaled and one level deep. | 5 / 5 |
