54%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The skill demonstrates excellent workflow clarity with a well-sequenced 7-step process, explicit confirmation gates, and good progressive disclosure to reference files. However, it is significantly over-verbose—the Image Generation Tools section, Confirmation Policy, User Input Tools section, and Reference Images section contain extensive conditional logic and edge-case handling that bloats the token budget considerably. Actionability is moderate: while the workflow is well-structured, it lacks concrete examples of generated prompts or executable code snippets.
Suggestions
Move the Image Generation Tools resolution logic (steps 1-4, ~40 lines) into a referenced file like `references/image-backend-resolution.md` and keep only a 3-line summary in the main skill body.
Add a concrete example of a complete generated prompt (Step 5 output) showing how layout definition + style definition + structured content combine into the final `prompts/infographic.md` file.
Consolidate the User Input Tools section, Confirmation Policy, and Reference Images section into shorter inline summaries or move detailed edge cases to reference files—these three sections alone account for ~80 lines of conditional logic.
Remove redundant restatements of the Confirmation Policy (it's referenced 4+ times across the document); a single definition with anchor link is sufficient.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is extremely verbose at ~400+ lines. Large sections explain tool resolution logic, backend selection cascades, confirmation policies, and preference file discovery in exhaustive detail that Claude could handle with much briefer instructions. The Image Generation Tools section alone is a wall of conditional logic that could be a referenced file. Concepts like backup naming conventions and EXTEND.md path resolution are repeated or over-specified. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | The workflow steps are concrete and sequenced with specific file paths, option tables, and output structures. However, there is no executable code—everything is procedural instruction rather than copy-paste commands. The actual prompt construction (Step 5) is described abstractly ('Combine: layout definition + style definition + base template') without showing a concrete example of a generated prompt or the template format. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 7-step workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints: Step 4 is a hard confirmation gate before generation, backup rules protect existing files at each step, Step 6 includes retry logic and a text-correction policy, and the confirmation policy is thoroughly defined with skip conditions. Feedback loops for error recovery (regenerate from corrected prompt rather than patch) are explicit. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill effectively uses progressive disclosure with a clear overview in the main file and well-signaled one-level-deep references to layout definitions, style definitions, analysis framework, structured content template, base prompt, preferences schema, first-time setup, and codex-imagegen details. References are organized in a logical directory structure (references/layouts/, references/styles/, references/config/). | 3 / 3 |
