57%Scale 1-3Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill is well-structured as a progressive disclosure entrypoint with excellent reference organization and clear 'Read when' annotations. However, it lacks concrete, executable examples (no sample test code, no framework-specific commands) and the workflow steps need explicit validation checkpoints between RED and GREEN phases to match the skill's own stated constraint of 'do not skip RED verification.'
Suggestions
Add a concrete executable example showing a minimal RED test followed by a GREEN fix, even if brief, to demonstrate the expected workflow pattern with actual code.
Insert explicit validation checkpoints between procedure steps—e.g., after step 3, verify RED output before proceeding to GREEN, with a sample expected output format.
Remove or consolidate the duplicated Subagent Routing section since it largely repeats the reference already linked in Full Context, and trim the Philosophy and preamble sections to save tokens.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is moderately efficient but includes some unnecessary sections like the 'Progressive Disclosure Entry' preamble explaining its own structure, the Philosophy section, and the Examples section which just shows natural language prompts rather than actionable examples. The Subagent Routing section duplicates a reference link already listed in Full Context. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The procedure provides a clear sequence but remains at a high level of abstraction—there are no concrete code examples, specific test commands, or executable snippets beyond the validation bash command. The guidance describes what to do conceptually ('produce a failing test first') without showing how (no sample test code, no framework-specific commands). | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 5-step procedure outlines a reasonable sequence and the validation section provides a concrete gate command with a 'fail fast' instruction. However, there are no explicit validation checkpoints between steps (e.g., confirming RED before proceeding to GREEN), and the feedback loop for error recovery is only implicit in 'repeat in vertical slices.' | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill excels at progressive disclosure with a concise entrypoint and well-signaled one-level-deep references, each annotated with 'Read when:' conditions that clearly indicate when to load each reference. The Full Context section is well-organized with topical links to preserved guides, mocking, interface design, refactoring, etc. | 3 / 3 |
