85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-structured routing skill: actionable handoff schema and validation commands, a clear sequenced workflow with a stop-at-gate checkpoint, and clean one-level reference navigation. Its only weakness is redundancy — the read-only execution boundary is repeated across four sections.
Suggestions
Collapse the repeated execution-boundary statement into a single canonical "Execution Boundaries" section and have Outputs, Gotchas, and Validation reference it instead of restating it.
Trim domain jargon stacks (e.g. "plugin-cache visibility, command-surface rows, flat skill symlinks, runtime picker visibility") where a shorter phrasing carries the same routing signal.
Consider moving the two validation commands into a short "Verification" subsection so they read as a runnable checklist rather than prose at the end of Validation.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly lean and assumes domain competence, but the execution-boundary statement ("Downstream lanes own source edits, runtime sync, external review, Tessl evals, packaging, publishing...") is restated nearly verbatim across Outputs, Gotchas, Execution Boundaries, and Validation, which is redundant padding rather than a score-3 lean overview. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides a literal YAML handoff schema with enumerated lane names and mode values, a concrete request→lane routing table, and copy-paste-ready validation commands (validate_skill_authoring_family.sh and ./bin/ask skills external-review). | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A numbered 9-step routing sequence is given, with an explicit validation checkpoint ("Stop at the first failed required gate, classify it, and do not sync, commit, publish, or install until it is fixed or explicitly blocked") and a dedicated Failure Mode section for error handling. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is an overview that defers detail to five one-level-deep references, each prefaced by a "Read when..." trigger, and all five referenced files (contract.yaml, evals.yaml, task-profile.json, discovery-interview.md, routing-policy.md) are present in ./references/. | 3 / 3 |
