100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A high-quality instruction skill body: concrete tool-call sequencing, explicit verification and error-recovery steps, and well-organized one-level-deep references to verified bundle files. It adds only domain-specific knowledge Claude would not already have.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean and information-dense with no concept-explanation fluff Claude already knows; the exception-handling paragraphs convey novel Honeycomb-specific knowledge (two query surfaces, LogRecordProcessor compatibility) that earns its tokens, matching the score-3 anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete executable guidance — named MCP tools (`get_trace(show_events=true)`, `run_bubbleup`) and specific query filters (`error=true`, `event.name=exception`, `exception.type exists`) — matching the score-3 anchor rather than the vague or pseudocode anchors. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear six-step sequence (Orient → Characterize → BubbleUp → Drill → Verify → Record) with an explicit validation checkpoint in Step 5 (query with and without the suspected cause as a control) plus error-recovery feedback loops in "When Results Are Empty or Unclear", matching the score-3 anchor exactly. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is an overview that points to three confirmed real reference files (investigation-playbooks.md, bubbleup-guide.md, trace-exploration.md) one level deep and clearly signaled in a "Reference Files" section, matching the score-3 anchor; not reduced to 2 because references are appropriately split and navigable. | 3 / 3 |
