78%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 tight, well-structured skill body for a read-only documentation lookup skill: concrete tool examples, a clear search-then-fetch workflow, and clean sectioning with no unnecessary concept explanations. The main improvement opportunities are collapsing the redundant scope/boundary sections and adding a re-search step for missed queries.
Suggestions
Merge 'When to use' and 'Differentiating from enterprise Glean' into one section — both restate the frontmatter's scope and the using-glean boundary, so the duplication costs tokens without adding guidance.
Add a fallback step to the workflow, e.g. 'If no results look relevant, broaden or rephrase the query terms and search again', to close the loop on the most common failure mode.
Briefly state what docs_search returns (e.g. titles, URLs, snippets) so Claude knows what to scan in step 2 without guessing.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence (no explanation of what MCP or an SDK is), but the "When to use" bullet list and "Differentiating from enterprise Glean" section substantially restate the frontmatter description and each other. Minor trimming of that duplication would reach the 'every token earns its place' anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, near copy-paste invocations are given ("docs_search \"API authentication\"", "docs_fetch \"https://developers.glean.com/docs/api/auth\"") alongside good/bad query examples, which mostly meets the executable anchor. Not a 5 because common cases like what docs_search returns or what to do when no results match are left unspecified. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 4-step workflow (Search → Review → Fetch → Cite) is a clear, well-sequenced list of concrete commands. It sits below the 5 anchor because there is no checkpoint for the common failure mode of an empty or poor first search — "Query tips" hints at refinement but the workflow never loops back to re-search. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | At ~46 lines with no external references needed, the skill is organized into well-labeled sections (Tools, When to use, Tool selection, Workflow, Query tips, Differentiating), and the reference check confirmed no bundle files exist to point to. This matches the rubric's exception for short, single-purpose skills with well-organized sections. | 5 / 5 |
