81%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.
A well-engineered orchestration skill: executable commands, quantitative quality gates, and validation-before-cleanup feedback loops. Its two defects are the missing `deep-research-worker.md` file (breaking both the acceptance-criteria definition and sub-agent contract) and time-stamped incident asides that add tokens without instructional value.
Suggestions
Create `deep-research-worker.md` (or point the Phase 1 reference at an existing file such as `assets/report_template.md`) so the 'authority scores and recency defaults' referenced for acceptance criteria actually exist in the bundle.
Replace the dated incident-log asides ('observed 2026-09-06, deep-research-plan: three direction names printed...') with a timeless behavioral statement of the requirement, since time-sensitive content penalizes conciseness and belongs in a changelog, not the skill body.
Consolidate the four full `search_instructions` example blocks into one condensed example plus a line stating the pattern (search via query → fetch accepted URLs), trimming roughly a third of Phase 0.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and procedural with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows, but the two time-sensitive incident-log asides ('observed 2026-09-06, `deep-research-plan`...') pad tokens without operational value and could be trimmed or moved to a changelog-style section. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Highly concrete throughout — a runnable `mktemp` command, executable playwright-cli sequences, a worker prompt template, and numeric scoring tables with explicit thresholds. The one gap is the dangling `deep-research-worker.md` reference, which leaves the 'authority scores and recency defaults' the planner needs undefined. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Phases 0–5 are clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints: a per-worker pass/fail review table, an escalation threshold (< 6.0) with retry loop, and a report-integrity check that gates cleanup ('If any check fails: stop, print error, do NOT delete <tmp_dir>/'). | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body appropriately inlines orchestration logic and points one level deep to a real, clearly signaled bundle file (`assets/report_template.md`). The inline reference to `deep-research-worker.md` is not pathed and does not exist in the bundle, a minor but real navigation gap. | 4 / 5 |
