85%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 content is highly actionable and workflow-safe: executable commands, per-rule diff examples, explicit conflict policy, and validation feedback loops throughout. Its main weakness is that the 48 manual rules are entirely inlined in a ~1000-line SKILL.md rather than split into reference files, which hurts progressive disclosure.
Suggestions
Move the 48 manual rules into a references file (e.g., references/manual-rules.md) and keep a categorized summary in SKILL.md, so the skill body stays a lean overview.
Split the language-specific sections (shell delegation with the curl fallback, Go formatting) into their own reference files with one-level-deep links.
Trim connective prose such as "This is how it works:" and collapse the two curl invocations into a single parameterized example to save tokens.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and project-specific: every rule is a one-line rationale plus before/after diffs, with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows. Minor instances could be trimmed ("This is how it works:", the verbose multi-line curl block for the remote fallback, and some repeated conflict-resolution phrasing), keeping it at anchor 4 rather than the fully lean anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Commands are copy-paste ready and complete ("cd <module-root> && <gradlew> formatSource", "ant format-source-current-branch", "gofmt -w ." / "gofmt -l .", and the curl fallback with explicit flags), and every one of the 48 rules is illustrated with concrete diff examples covering the common cases, including edge cases and exceptions. This matches the fully executable anchor 5. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The workflow is explicitly sequenced with feedback loops: run the formatter, apply manual rules, then "rerun the formatter to clean up any fallout"; "if there are issues to be fixed, the formatter will list them. Fix them."; plus a listing check ("gofmt -l .") and explicit conflict and generated-file policies. This matches anchor 5 (clear sequence, explicit validation, error-recovery loop) for a batch formatting operation. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | There is good section structure (formatter workflow, shell, Go, 48 numbered rules) and external references are clearly signaled with a resolution order (../liferay-docker SKILL.md, CODE_STYLE.md, .claude/rules/go-style.md), but no bundle files exist and roughly 1000 lines of manual rules are inlined in SKILL.md — content that clearly belongs in separate reference files. This is anchor 3 (content that should be separate is inline), not 2 because the structure and signaling are good, and not 4 because the inline bulk is a major organization gap rather than a minor one. | 3 / 5 |
