92%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 tight, actionable procedure: exact estimation constants, a verified helper script, and a worked example that pins down the output format. The only weakness is minor redundancy from restating the formula and re-walking steps in the example.
Suggestions
State the calculation formula once: keep it in 'Estimation Method' and drop the duplicate "Or manual calculation: Total Chars * 0.3" line under Tools.
Mention the script's stdin mode (e.g., `echo "text" | deno run scripts/count_tokens.ts`) since the full conversation text is usually too long to pass as an argument.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, but the formula is stated twice ("Token Count = Character Count * Multiplier" and again "Or manual calculation: Total Chars * 0.3") and the worked example partially restates the procedure. Efficient with minor trimmable instances, so 4 rather than 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable guidance: the real command "deno run scripts/count_tokens.ts \"TEXT_snippet\"" (the script exists and matches its documented interface), the exact multiplier 0.3, and a complete numeric worked example ("12,000 * 0.3 = 3,600 tokens") covering the common case. No gaps. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 5-step sequence (Conversation, System/Rules, Overhead, Total, Report) with a worked example reinforcing it. The task is read-only estimation, so no validation checkpoints are needed, and the simple-skill exception applies to this short, single-purpose skill. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, well-organized into Scope/Estimation Method/Procedure/Tools/Examples, and correctly offloads calculation logic to the one-level-deep scripts/count_tokens.ts, which exists and is referenced with an accurate path. Per the rubric's simple-skill guideline this earns a 5. | 5 / 5 |
