67%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-structured, actionable skill body with clear dual-path workflow, explicit fallback, and database validation. The main weaknesses are verbose prose in the database table, a vague file-naming instruction, and an unreferenced citation.bib bundle file.
Suggestions
Trim the descriptive prose in the Available BLAST Databases table to a short phrase per entry (e.g. 'uniprotkb – UniProt Knowledgebase: curated protein info') to improve token efficiency.
Replace 'Generate descriptive output file names based on the input' with a concrete naming rule and example (e.g. use the query label: '<query>_mmseqs2.md' / '<query>_ebi_blast.md').
Either reference references/citation.bib from the body (e.g. a 'Citation' note for results) or remove it from the bundle so all bundle files are reachable from SKILL.md.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient with concrete commands and no over-explanation of concepts Claude already knows, but the ~30-entry BLAST database table carries padded prose descriptions ('The UniProt Knowledgebase ... is the central access point for extensive curated protein information ...') that could be trimmed without losing utility, matching the 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' anchor. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, mostly copy-paste-ready commands are given for both default and variant cases (e.g. 'uv run scripts/mmseqs2_search.py <SEQUENCE_OR_FILE> -o <generated-filename.md> -j <generated-filename.json>'), with minor gaps such as the vague 'generate descriptive output file names based on the input' instruction and placeholder substitution left implicit. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Two clearly sequenced paths with an explicit fallback checkpoint (exit code 2 triggers Path B with a user message) and a database validation gate ('Ensure the database code exactly matches ... do not proceed'), but no validate-then-retry loop on the output itself, so it sits at the 'clear sequence, most checkpoints present' anchor rather than 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Good section structure with one-level-deep references to real bundle scripts (scripts/mmseqs2_search.py, scripts/uniprot_blast.py), but the large database table is inlined and references/citation.bib is present yet never referenced from the body, leaving minor organization gaps below the top anchor. | 4 / 5 |
