71%Weight 40%Scale 1-5Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is a compact, actionable estimation guide with a real supporting script and a worked example. Its main weakness is moderate repetition of the formula and multiplier across sections, which inflates token cost without adding clarity.
Suggestions
State the multiplier (0.3) and character-count formula once in Estimation Method; have the Tools section reference it rather than restating "Total Chars * 0.3".
Show how to pass the full conversation/system context into count_tokens.ts (e.g., via stdin) so the executable path matches the described scope, not just a text snippet.
Add a brief sanity-check step in the Procedure (e.g., compare estimated tokens against the model's known context limit) to give the workflow a verification checkpoint.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient but restates the 0.3 multiplier and the character-count formula in both the Estimation Method and Tools sections, and the Procedure recapitulates guidance that could be tightened. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | It provides an executable command (`deno run scripts/count_tokens.ts "TEXT_snippet"`) backed by a real script, plus a manual formula and a fully worked numeric example, with only minor gaps such as how to feed large history into the script. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Procedure lays out a clear numbered sequence (Conversation, System/Rules, Overhead, Total, Report) culminating in a report step; this is a read-only estimation task so absent validation checkpoints are not disqualifying, though no verification of the estimate is suggested. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | At roughly 45 lines with well-organized sections and a single one-level-deep reference to a real bundled script (scripts/count_tokens.ts), it fits the simple-skill exception of well-organized sections scoring 5. | 5 / 5 |
