85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body delivers concrete executable commands, a complete output template, and a clearly sequenced workflow with a real validation gate and feedback loop, organized into well-labeled sections. The only notable weakness is mild verbosity in a few framing lists that could be tightened.
Suggestions
Tighten the 'Look for:' and 'Save:' lists and the 'Store findings in ./scratch/research/ for review:' framing to trim tokens that assume Claude's competence less than needed.
Consider folding the duplicated 'insufficient evidence' guidance (the prose line and the quoted prompt) into a single concise checkpoint to reduce redundancy.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient and task-focused (e.g. 'GitHub raw content is often blocked. Clone repos to examine them:'), but includes some lists and framing ('Store findings in ... for review', 'Look for:') that could be tightened; not score 3 because not every token earns its place, and not score 1 because it avoids padded explanations of concepts Claude already knows. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides executable, copy-paste-ready commands ('git clone https://github.com/owner/repo.git', 'cat /tmp/repo/README.md', 'mkdir -p ./scratch/research') plus a complete markdown output template and a worked example trace; not score 2 because the guidance is concrete and complete rather than pseudocode. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly numbered five-step research sequence with an explicit validation gate ('Minimum 2-3 datapoints required before recommending') and a feedback loop ('If insufficient evidence, ask for guidance'); not score 2 because the validation checkpoint and retry path are explicit rather than implicit. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist and none are needed; content is organized into clearly labeled sections (Research Process, Output Format, Example Usage) within a single well-structured file, satisfying the simple-skill allowance for scoring 3 on organization alone; not score 2 because navigation is clear and not a monolithic wall of text. | 3 / 3 |
