Content
85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-crafted, actionable skill body with a clear validated workflow and clean organization. The main opportunity is removing the overlap between the objective and core_principle sections to tighten token use.
Suggestions
Consolidate the "never refactor while RED" and "vertical slices, not horizontal layers" points so they appear once (e.g. only in core_principle) rather than being restated across <objective> and <core_principle>.
Consider folding the one-line <objective> into the opening of <core_principle> to avoid the two-section redundancy on the same two rules.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence with no textbook padding, but the <objective> and <core_principle> sections restate two of three main points ("never refactor while red" and vertical slices / no all-tests-up-front), so it could be tightened. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable directives throughout — "hard-code return 42", "Extract on the third occurrence", and a literal test-name example ("rejects requests missing an auth header") — give copy-ready guidance without needing code blocks. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Five clearly numbered steps with explicit validation checkpoints (RED check, GREEN check, "Run tests after each small change", full-suite regression run) and error-recovery guidance for refactoring that breaks a test. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single self-contained, well-sectioned file (objective, context, core_principle, process, anti_patterns, success_criteria) with no nested references and no content that needs splitting out, matching the well-organized single-file pattern. | 3 / 3 |
