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.
The body is an unusually dense, well-structured set of domain-specific instructions: it names exact APIs, source files, and validation steps, and closes with an explicit verify checklist. Its main gaps are code/commands that stop just short of copy-paste ready and a length that could benefit from splitting deep-dive sections into reference files. Overall a strong, high-signal instruction skill.
Suggestions
Provide the literal test/typecheck/build commands in "Verify the change" (e.g., the actual package-manager invocations) so the final steps are copy-paste executable rather than descriptive.
Consider moving the deep-dive sections ("Configure board phase semantics", "Change a built-in handler" source-path inventory) into a reference file, keeping SKILL.md as a leaner overview with clearly signaled one-level-deep links.
Tighten a few stacked caveat sentences (e.g., the long paragraph on default arrival behavior and Platform credentials) by splitting or tabulating the constraints to cut re-read cost.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and imperative with almost no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows — every sentence carries non-inferable constraints like "`initialPhase` must be resting" and "a function replaces the default, `null` disables that event's handler". A few stacked caveat sentences could still be tightened, so it sits at anchor 4 rather than anchor 5's every-token-earns-its-place. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete pointers abound (specific source paths like `src/boards/work-tool-rules.ts`, exact APIs like `includeDefaultBoards: false` and `rules[event]`) and two real TypeScript snippets are included, but the snippets are not fully wired and the verify steps name commands ("Run the narrow Factory rule tests and package typecheck") without literal invocations — anchor 4 (mostly executable, minor gaps) rather than anchor 5's copy-paste-ready coverage. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Sequences are explicit and validated: "Find the configuration" (search, read existing config and its tests before editing, then edit), a numbered 5-step "Change a built-in handler" procedure, and a "Verify the change" checklist with explicit validation steps (test undefined/accepted/rejected paths, run rule tests, typecheck, Web build) plus failure guidance ("Do not weaken tests or bypass the transition service to make a policy work"). This matches anchor 5's explicit validation, feedback loop, and checklist character. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist, and the ~120-line body is well organized with clear section headers and explicitly signaled pointers to deployment source files (e.g., "Read `src/boards/transition-policy.ts` for the public contract"). It exceeds the under-50-line guideline and some deep-dive sections (phase semantics, handler replacement) could plausibly be split into reference files, so anchor 4 (good structure, minor organization gaps) fits better than 5. | 4 / 5 |
