75%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 solid, well-organized body: an executable 3-step MCP workflow, four complete Rego policy patterns, a resource-type table, and a clearly catalogued one-level-deep reference bundle. The consistent weaknesses are a missing concrete example of the policy creation payload, validation guidance that names no mechanism, mild duplication between Performance Notes and Troubleshooting, and one orphaned bundle file.
Suggestions
Add one complete harness_create example showing the actual policy body payload (e.g., name, Rego text, and enforcement fields as JSON) instead of the bare '<policy definition>' placeholder, so the primary action is copy-paste executable.
Give 'Validate Rego syntax before submitting' a concrete mechanism — a command (such as an opa check equivalent or an MCP validation tool) with a fix-and-retry loop — turning the implicit validation checkpoint into an executable step.
Reference references/quality-tests.md from the reference file listing (or remove it from the bundle), and merge the duplicate package-naming and deny-rule-msg guidance from Performance Notes into Troubleshooting to eliminate redundancy.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is efficient — terse step lists, compact Rego snippets, and a table instead of prose — with only minor trimmable content: Performance Notes duplicates Troubleshooting ("Ensure the policy package name follows `package harness.<domain>` convention" vs "Package names should follow `package harness.<domain>` convention", and both restate the deny-rule msg requirement), and "Test policy logic mentally against expected inputs before creating" is generic filler. This matches anchor 4 (minor instances of over-explanation) rather than the lean anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Mostly executable: concrete MCP calls with parameters ("Call MCP tool: harness_create / resource_type: 'policy' / org_id / project_id / body") and four complete, copy-paste-ready Rego policies with package declarations and msg returns. The gap keeping it at 4 rather than 5 is that the primary creation step leaves `body: <policy definition>` as an unspecified placeholder — no concrete policy payload example (name, policy text, enforcement fields) is ever shown, so the exact request body must be guessed. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear three-step sequence (identify requirements → create via harness_create → verify via scs_compliance_result) with a post-creation checkpoint and Troubleshooting recovery paths ("Verify the policy was created successfully (list via resource_type: 'policy')"). It falls short of anchor 5 because pre-submission validation is asserted without a mechanism — "Validate Rego syntax before submitting" names no command or tool (e.g., an opa check equivalent), so the validate→fix→retry loop cannot actually be executed as written. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Good structure against the actual bundle: 17 reference files are each listed with a one-line description, all referenced paths exist on disk, and references are one level deep (rego-writing-guide.md does not chain further file links). The minor organization gap versus anchor 5 is that references/quality-tests.md exists in the bundle but is orphaned — never referenced from SKILL.md or any other file — so its content is undiscoverable through the documented navigation. | 4 / 5 |
