85%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 well-engineered instruction skill: a crisp two-stage model, a sequenced method with explicit validation and re-run criteria, concrete thresholds and anti-patterns drawn from real failures, and clean one-level-deep progressive disclosure into three substantive reference files. The main room for improvement is trimming the opening justification paragraph and inlining one full example command for the baseline runner.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and project-specific (gates/judge split, thresholds, anti-patterns) with little that Claude already knows, assuming competence throughout ("Read the target response, tool calls, gate evidence, and verdict"). Not a 5 because the opening rationale ("This skill exists because evals were fragmented into three shapes...") and a few transitions could be trimmed without losing guidance. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance throughout: observable behavior examples ("regenerates the Go client after a schema change"), hard thresholds ("≥40% of a judged score must require articulation", "≥2 for a gate check, ≥4 for reporting"), named runners and paths, a defined output format ("per-scenario verdict (keep / fix / cut)... most-severe first"), and a gold-standard example to study. Not a 5 because full command invocations for running baselines are only named, not shown inline. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Method is a clearly ordered 7-step sequence with explicit validation (step 6: "Measure the baseline; never estimate it" with run-count floors), an explicit feedback loop (step 7: "Re-run when the task was unclear, the environment unrealistic, the verifier wrong, or infra failed"), a human checkpoint (step 2: "let the human pick"), and a checklist for the review workflow — matching the top anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | SKILL.md is a ~100-line overview that cleanly splits detail into three real, one-level-deep references, each clearly signaled with what it contains ("Details and field schemas", "the five principles", "which incidents qualify... and the leakage guard"); verified all three files exist in references/ with no deep nesting. | 5 / 5 |
