87%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is a tight, actionable orchestration guide with concrete tool names and a clear step sequence, but its validation checkpoints are implicit rather than explicit gates, capping workflow clarity. Organization is appropriate for a short single-file skill.
Suggestions
Add an explicit validation/verification checkpoint — e.g., after session_show_defaults, state "only proceed when project/workspace/scheme context is confirmed" — to lift workflow_clarity above 2.
Show one concrete tool-call example (e.g., a sample session_show_defaults invocation with expected output) so guidance is copy-paste ready rather than directional.
Make the failure feedback loop explicit as a loop ("on failure: fix context, re-run session_show_defaults, then retry") rather than a one-line reporting instruction.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean with no concept explanations Claude already knows; the capabilities list and three steps each earn their place by conveying tool availability and sequencing rather than padding, matching the lean-and-efficient anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Concrete, specific guidance names exact tools ("session_show_defaults", "discover_projs", "combined build-and-run tool") and an exact config path (".xcodebuildmcp/config.yaml") with clear selection rules; per the instruction-only scoring note, absence of code is not penalized when guidance is this actionable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear three-step sequence exists with a failure-reporting feedback loop in Step 3, but there are no explicit validate-then-proceed checkpoints — validation of context and tool availability is implicit rather than gated, so it sits below the anchor requiring explicit validation steps. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Under 50 lines with no bundle files and well-organized sections (intro, capabilities, three steps) plus a single clearly-signaled one-level external link to the configuration docs, which the rubric permits to score 3 for a simple skill with no external references needed. | 3 / 3 |
