This skill is a routing helper that is well-structured with clear sections, useful guardrails (anti-patterns, failure modes, gotchas), and appropriate scoping of responsibilities. However, it critically depends on external reference files (especially references/workflow.md) that are not provided, making the skill body alone insufficient for execution. The output schema is described but lacks a concrete JSON example, and the routing decision logic is entirely absent from the main file.
Suggestions
Add a concrete JSON example of the routing handoff object output so Claude knows the exact shape to produce
Include at least a summary of the routing decision logic from references/workflow.md inline, rather than fully deferring the core workflow to an external file
Provide a more structured input specification (e.g., what 'constraints and trust requirements' actually look like) to make the skill more actionable
Remove or consolidate the 'Philosophy' section into the workflow constraints, as the two bullets are generic enough to not earn their tokens
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is moderately efficient but includes some unnecessary sections like 'Philosophy' (two bullet points that are fairly generic), and the 'When to Use' section partially repeats the description. The 'Inputs' section is vague enough to be unhelpful. However, it avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows and stays relatively lean overall. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The examples section provides concrete routing mappings, and the output schema lists specific fields. However, the actual routing logic is deferred entirely to 'references/workflow.md' which is not provided, the output object is described but no concrete JSON example is given, and the inputs are vaguely listed without structure. The skill tells you what to return but not how to decide. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The workflow section simply says 'Use the detailed routing protocol in references/workflow.md' without providing the actual steps. The failure mode and anti-patterns sections add useful guardrails, and the validation step with a bash command is concrete. However, the core routing workflow is absent from this file, and there's no explicit step sequence with validation checkpoints for the routing decision itself. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill references multiple external files (workflow.md, contract.yaml, evals.yaml, task-profile.json, plugin design contract) which suggests good intent for progressive disclosure. However, no bundle files were provided, so we cannot verify these references exist. The SKILL.md itself is structured with clear sections, but the core workflow being entirely offloaded to a missing reference file means the skill body alone is insufficient to act on. | 2 / 3 |
