67%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, actionable protocol skill with clear sequenced workflows and concrete templates. Its primary weakness is moderate redundancy across the two parallel clarity protocols and repeated section headers, which inflates the token budget without adding guidance value.
Suggestions
Collapse the Messy Input Protocol and Full Clarity Protocol into a single section that branches by clarity level, removing the repeated 'Ask and document:' headers under WHAT/WHY/HOW.
Trim the example dialog to the minimum needed to show the WHAT/WHY/SCOPE extraction and confirm step.
Consider moving the full active-context.md output template into a reference file and signaling it here, to reduce inline bulk.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient and does not explain concepts Claude already knows, but carries noticeable redundancy: two parallel protocols (Messy Input vs Full Clarity), repeated 'Ask and document:' headers under each WHAT/WHY/HOW step, and a fairly long example dialog that could be trimmed. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable guidance — a WHAT/WHY/SCOPE extraction template, tiered Efficiency Rules, a complete active-context.md output template, and a worked example dialog — with only minor gaps (placeholder brackets and slightly abstract prompts like 'Ask 1-2 specific questions'). | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear multi-step sequences in both protocols with an explicit confirm checkpoint ('Confirm briefly: Is that right?') and tiered clarity rules; not a 5 because there is no explicit validate-fix-retry feedback loop, though the skill is not destructive/batch so the cap-3 rule does not apply. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized into clearly headed sections (Messy Input Protocol, Full Clarity Protocol, Output Requirements, Rules, Transition) with no buried or nested references; falls short of 5 only because the bulky active-context.md template is inlined and no reference files are signaled. | 4 / 5 |
