75%Scale 1-5Reviews 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, actionable skill that clearly guides Claude through creating iteration plans. Its strengths are the concrete output template with Gherkin scenarios and the sequential workflow with an approval checkpoint. Minor weaknesses include the lack of a completed example plan and the absence of error handling guidance (e.g., what to do if no iteration files exist or if the user rejects proposed steps).
Suggestions
Add a brief example of a completed step plan file to make the template fully concrete and copy-paste verifiable.
Add guidance for edge cases: what to do if no iteration files exist in iterations/, or if the user rejects the proposed steps at the approval checkpoint.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is efficient and assumes Claude's competence. Minor verbosity in step 5 ('Think MVP at every step: ask "what is the simplest thing that works?" before adding anything') which is general advice Claude already knows, but overall well-trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides a concrete file template with specific sections (Goal, Acceptance Criteria, Gherkin Outline, Out of Scope, Definition of Done), a clear naming convention for output files, and specific validation commands (npm run check, npm test). Minor gap: no example of a completed plan file showing what a filled-in template looks like. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 6-step sequence with a logical flow: read → ask questions → break into steps → create files → apply MVP thinking → get approval. Has a checkpoint at step 6 (ask for approval before writing). Minor gap: no explicit validation/feedback loop if the user rejects the proposed steps or if the iteration file is missing/malformed. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a skill of this size (~30 lines), the structure is appropriate — it's a concise overview that doesn't need external references. The content is well-organized with numbered steps and a clear template block. No bundle files are provided, but none seem necessary for this skill. Minor gap: could benefit from a brief reference to where example iteration files live or what the expected format of the input iteration file is. | 4 / 5 |
