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-structured, highly actionable skill with a clear lifecycle workflow, explicit verification steps, and strong error-recovery guidance. Weaknesses are minor: some padding and general experimentation principles, and inlined tool-reference material that could live in a separate reference file.
Suggestions
Trim the opening paragraph and "Core Principles" items that restate general A/B-testing knowledge Claude already has (e.g. "One change at a time").
Document `get-flag` / `get-flag-status-across-envs` in the tool list since Steps 2 and the edge-case table depend on them.
Consider moving the full MCP tool semantics and detailed JSON schemas into a single one-level-deep reference file to keep SKILL.md a lean overview.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is largely efficient with dense JSON examples and tables, but the opening paragraph ("You're using a skill that guides you through...") and general principles like "One change at a time: test one variable per experiment" restate knowledge Claude already has — minor trimming opportunities, matching anchor 4 rather than the every-token-earns-its-place level. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Copy-paste-ready JSON payloads for create, start, evolve, and stop plus a concrete edge-case table cover the common cases, but minor gaps remain: `get-flag` is referenced in Step 2 and the edge-case table without being documented in the tool list, and treatment/variation IDs must be discovered from responses without a shown example. Fits anchor 4, just short of fully-executable 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 7-step sequence with explicit validation (Step 5 confirms `currentIteration.status === "running"` and checks treatments/metrics), a genuine feedback loop for rejected `update-experiment` inputs (inspect `currentStatus`/`allowedFields`, then stop or use `save-and-start-experiment-iteration`), plus edge cases and a "What NOT to Do" checklist — matching the anchor for explicit validation with error-recovery loops. Not 4: checkpoints are present at every risky transition (create, start, mid-experiment changes, stop). | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The single-file skill is well organized with clear sections (Prerequisites, Core Concepts, Workflow, Edge Cases) and no nested or dead references, but it runs ~230 lines with reference-style material (full MCP tool semantics, multiple JSON schemas) inlined that could be split into a reference file. Matches anchor 4; not 5 since a leaner SKILL.md pointing to one-level-deep references would be easier to navigate. | 4 / 5 |
