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 strong, highly actionable skill body: concrete commands at every step, a clear decision framework for dev/production/semver/deprecated cases, and explicit validation with a test-pass/fail feedback loop. Weaknesses are minor — an empty placeholder code block in step 4, a non-runnable jq regex example, and slight length that could benefit from splitting reference material out.
Suggestions
Replace the empty bash block in step 4 with the actual Grep invocation (e.g. a Grep tool call pattern for the package name) so the impact-assessment step is executable.
Make the changelog-release jq filter concrete with a real example regex instead of the 'v?{from}|v?{to}|...' placeholder.
Trim emphasis-only sentences ('This is the most important step', 'Do not skim') and consider moving the illustrative dependency-list example to a short reference file.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly lean — concrete commands with minimal concept explanation — but has minor over-explanation that could be trimmed: 'This is the most important step', 'Do not skim', and the long illustrative dependency list. Not a 5 because those few sentences and the example block spend tokens on emphasis rather than instruction. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Mostly executable guidance with real commands (pnpm outdated, gh api releases, npm info, pnpm update, filtered tests), but minor gaps remain: step 4 has an effectively empty bash block ('# Find all imports/requires') with a vague 'Use Grep' instruction, and the jq filter 'test("v?{from}|v?{to}|...")' is a placeholder rather than copy-paste ready. Not a 3 because the vast majority of commands are complete and runnable. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear six-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops: 'If already up to date, say so and stop', ordered fallback sources for the changelog, and 'If tests pass, the update is good. If tests fail, investigate and fix.' Classification rules (dev vs production, semver, deprecated) gate each path before action. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized single-file structure with clear numbered sections covering one coherent task, and a reference to /l-commit for committing. Not a 5 because at ~180 lines the example output format and changelog-source recipes could live in a one-level-deep reference file to keep SKILL.md as a tighter overview. | 4 / 5 |
