86%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.
An exemplary lean instruction-only skill: terse, dense, and specific, with explicit exit criteria gating the workflow. As an instruction-only skill, the absence of code is appropriate, and its concrete details (status codes, field names, tooling) make it highly actionable. The only gaps are the unspecified contract-diff mechanism and the implicit rather than explicit fix-and-retry loop.
Suggestions
Specify how to perform the contract diff in step 6 (e.g., a tool or command to compare response shapes before and after), and include the Schemathesis invocation in step 7 so both are directly executable.
Add one explicit feedback-loop line such as 'If fuzzing or the contract diff fails, fix and re-run until the exit criteria pass' to make the error-recovery loop explicit rather than implied.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every line is a dense, executable directive ("clamp `limit`, reject negative offsets, stable ordering"; "set state, don't increment it") with zero padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows. Lean and efficient; every token earns its place. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is highly concrete — exact status codes ("400/422 with a plain message, never 500"), a specific field ("`event_id`"), "integer cents", and a named tool ("Schemathesis") — but step 6 gives no mechanism for comparing response shapes and step 7 gives no invocation command. Mostly executable with minor gaps; not 5, which would require fully executable, copy-paste-ready guidance covering the common cases with no unspecified mechanisms. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 7-step sequence with explicit validation (step 7 re-runs fuzzing and contract tests) and an Exit criteria gate ("no 5xx and no schema violations, and the contract diff is empty or explicitly approved"). Not 5: the fix-and-retry feedback loop when fuzzing fails is implicit rather than spelled out (e.g., "if fuzzing finds a 5xx, fix and re-run"). | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Under 50 lines, well-organized into Procedure and Exit criteria sections, with no external references needed and no bundle files. Per the under-50-lines guideline, well-organized sections alone merit a 5. | 5 / 5 |
