70%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured skill with strong workflow clarity and excellent progressive disclosure design. Its main weakness is the lack of concrete, executable examples—the procedure describes what to do conceptually but doesn't provide templates, commands, or sample outputs that would make it immediately actionable. There is also moderate redundancy across sections that could be tightened.
Suggestions
Add a concrete example showing a complete diagnosis flow: sample symptom input → reproduction step → root-cause output format → Linear issue payload template.
Provide a concrete example of structured output with `schema_version: 1` since it's mentioned in Outputs but never illustrated.
Consolidate the 'Anti-patterns' section into 'Constraints' since they largely restate the same prohibitions, reducing token overhead.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is reasonably structured but includes some redundancy (e.g., the 'Full Context' section repeats 'Read when' clauses that could be consolidated, and the Subagent Routing section partially duplicates references already listed). Some sections like 'Philosophy' and 'Anti-patterns' overlap with constraints and procedure steps. However, it avoids explaining basic concepts Claude already knows. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The procedure provides a clear sequence of steps and the constraints are specific, but there are no concrete code examples, commands, or copy-paste-ready templates (e.g., no example Linear issue payload, no example log grep command, no example test structure). The 'Examples' section only shows user prompts without corresponding expected outputs or actions Claude should take. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The procedure is well-sequenced with clear gates: parse intake → QA intake if needed → context check → evidence collection → reproduce → trace → hypothesize → present diagnosis → remediate. The Validation section provides explicit checkpoints including 'fail fast: stop at first failed gate.' The workflow handles branching (diagnosis-only vs diagnose-and-fix, QA intake mode) and blocked states clearly. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is explicitly designed as a 'Progressive Disclosure Entry' with a concise overview and well-organized references to detailed materials. The 'Full Context' section provides clearly signaled one-level-deep references with 'Read when' conditions explaining when each reference should be loaded. References are organized by purpose (canonical contract, evals, domain routing, QA intake, runtime evidence, subagent routing). | 3 / 3 |
