57%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-organized, instruction-oriented skill body with good progressive disclosure and concrete pointers, undermined mainly by directive repetition across sections and executable detail deferred to the reference without an in-body error-recovery loop.
Suggestions
Consolidate the 'no raw remote POM ingestion' and 'no remote plugin execution' rules so each appears once (e.g. only in Constraints) rather than being restated in the intro and workflow, to improve conciseness.
Add an explicit error-recovery step to the workflow (e.g. 'If the Search API returns no match or ambiguous results, broaden filters or ask the user to confirm the groupId/artifactId') to move workflow_clarity toward a feedback-loop model.
Include at least one concrete, copy-paste-ready Search API request URL or endpoint in the body so the core action is executable before consulting the reference.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body avoids re-explaining concepts Claude already knows, but the same directives recur across sections — 'do not ingest raw remote POM text' appears in the intro, the NO RAW REMOTE TEXT INGESTION constraint, and workflow step 2 — so it could be tightened. Not a 3 because the repetition costs tokens without adding information. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Concrete guidance is present (query syntax 'g:org.springframework.boot AND a:spring-boot-starter-parent' and the groupId:artifactId:version format rule), but executable API endpoint/URL detail is explicitly deferred to the reference, so the body itself is not copy-paste ready. Not a 1 because real syntax and formats are given; not a 3 because the executable specifics are not in-body. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear four-step sequence exists with a verification checkpoint ('Verify coordinates against the Search API... before asserting availability') and four EDGE CASE handling bullets, but there is no explicit validate→fix→retry feedback loop. Not a 3 because the rubric's top anchor requires error-recovery feedback loops, which are only implicit here. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single one-level-deep reference (references/114-java-maven-search.md, confirmed to exist) is signaled in two places (workflow step 1 and a Reference section), with the overview kept in SKILL.md and detail split out — matching the clear-overview-with-well-signaled-references anchor. | 3 / 3 |
