77%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 strong, highly actionable skill with excellent workflow clarity and validation steps. Its main weakness is verbosity: the hard constraint rationale is over-explained, some translation guidelines state things Claude already knows, and the full scripts are inlined rather than referenced. The repeated emphasis on never editing JSON directly (stated at least 4 times) is understandable given the failure mode but contributes to bloat.
Suggestions
Reduce repetition of the 'never edit locale files directly' constraint — state it once clearly in the Hard Constraint section and reference it briefly elsewhere instead of restating it in Scope, Small Fix Path, Step 4, and Key Rules.
Trim the translation guidelines by removing explanations Claude already knows (e.g., UI overflow awareness, what katakana is for) and keep only project-specific conventions like the brand name list and the formal register requirement for Russian.
Consider extracting the three full scripts into bundle files (e.g., scripts/find-missing-keys.mjs.template) and referencing them from SKILL.md with brief descriptions of what each does, reducing the inline content significantly.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill contains valuable project-specific information but is noticeably verbose in places. The 'Hard Constraint' section repeats the no-direct-edit rule multiple times with extensive justification Claude doesn't need. The translation guidelines section explains concepts like 'UI overflow' that Claude already understands. The full scripts (~100 lines) could potentially be referenced rather than inlined, though their inclusion is defensible since no bundle files exist. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable with copy-paste ready scripts for finding missing keys, finding untranslated entries, and adding translations. Commands are specific (cd web, node scripts/xxx.mjs, bun run i18n:sync), file paths are exact, and the newKeys template shows the precise data structure needed. The small fix path and full workflow both provide concrete, executable steps. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The workflow is clearly sequenced (sync → find missing → find untranslated → add translations → verify). Step 5 includes explicit validation (run find-missing-keys.mjs to verify 'All t() keys found'), followed by a mandatory sync step. The 'Small Fix Path' provides a clear abbreviated workflow. The hard constraint about script-only writes serves as a guardrail against a known failure mode, with clear error recovery guidance. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is well-structured with clear sections and headers, but the three full scripts (~100+ lines total) are inlined rather than being placed in separate referenced files. For a skill of this length (~200+ lines), the scripts could be in bundle files with the SKILL.md providing an overview and references. However, since no bundle files exist, inlining is the only option, which limits the score. The internal organization with sections (Preflight, Scope, Overview, Small Fix, Workflow, Guidelines, Rules) is good. | 3 / 5 |
