88%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 actionable, report-only skill writing: fully specified commands, explicit exit-code branching with an error-recovery triage loop, and a concrete output contract. The only notable flaws are structural — a duplicated "Output Format" heading and a safety caveat repeated four times — which cost it at the top of the conciseness and organization range.
Suggestions
Merge the two "Output Format" sections (lines 91 and 134) under one heading; the duplicate name splits format-spec from report-ordering guidance that belongs together.
State the approval caveat once (e.g. in "Action needed") and cross-reference it from the other three places, trimming the repeated "requires separate, explicit approval / confirm scope and budget" lines.
Show how $REPORT is obtained (e.g. `REPORT=$(gbrain skillpack-check)` or piping output directly) so the jq snippet is copy-paste ready with no setup inferred.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense with skill-specific operational content (exit-code contract, per-path handling, action meanings, anti-patterns) and explains nothing Claude already knows, fitting the efficient anchor. Minor trimming opportunities keep it below 5: the report-only caveat is repeated four times ("requires separate, explicit approval", "do not execute", "confirm scope and budget", "A health check... does not authorize repairs"), and there are two same-named "Output Format" sections (lines 91 and 134) covering overlapping ground. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Every instruction is a concrete, executable command: `gbrain skillpack-check --quiet` for crons, `printf '%s\n' "$REPORT" | jq -r '.actions[]'`, the exit-2 triage steps (`which gbrain`, `gbrain --version`, `~/.gbrain/`), plus a full sample JSON output. Specific examples cover the common cases (healthy, action-needed with four enumerated action types, undetermined failure), matching the anchor-5 description; the only imperfection — `$REPORT` is never shown being captured — is trivial for an agent. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The workflow is unambiguous for a single-purpose skill: run the check, branch on exit code 0/1/2, and each branch has explicit handling — including a numbered diagnostic feedback loop for exit 2 (binary present → version exits 0 → dir accessible). The exit code itself is the validation gate for cron/CI use, and the skill is explicitly non-mutating (`mutating: false`), so the destructive-operation validation cap does not apply. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is well organized into clear sections (Contract, When to run, What to do with the output, When it fails, Anti-Patterns, Related) with one-level-deep, clearly annotated references (`../conventions/agent-operator-protocol.md`, `skills/migrations/v0.11.0.md`, `docs/guides/minions-fix.md`); no bundle files exist to nest. It stops short of a 5 because of a minor organization gap: two sibling sections share the identical heading "Output Format" (one showing the JSON schema, one describing report ordering), which muddies navigation. | 4 / 5 |
