75%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 a strong, command-driven guide with a well-structured connection workflow and explicit state handling. Main gaps are the duplicated action-discovery command, a "Popular actions" section that promises but lacks concrete actions, and dangling "Step 2"/"1b" step references.
Suggestions
Fix the dangling step references: either label the subsequent sections as "Step 1a/1b/Step 2" or replace "skip to **Step 2**" and "#### 1b." with descriptive section names.
Make "Popular actions" deliver on its title by listing 2-3 concrete example Basiq actions (e.g. list users, retrieve transactions for a connection) instead of repeating the discovery command, and remove the duplicated command.
Add one concrete proxy example (e.g. "membrane request CONNECTION_ID /users --json") to make the fallback path immediately executable.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is efficient with concrete commands and little padding, but the "Popular actions" section repeats the action-discovery command already shown in "Searching for actions", and a few explanatory sentences (e.g. "This is the fastest way to get a connection. The URL is normalized...") could be trimmed. Minor instances of over-explanation — anchor 4, not the lean 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is mostly executable with copy-paste commands ("membrane connection ensure \"https://basiq.io/\" --json", polling with "--wait", a full flags table for "membrane request"). Not 5: the "Popular actions" section contains no actual example Basiq actions and the proxy section lacks a concrete sample invocation. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear install → login (with headless fallback) → connect → poll-until-ready sequence exists, with state-based checkpoints (READY / CLIENT_ACTION_REQUIRED / CONFIGURATION_ERROR) and a re-poll feedback loop after user action. Not 5: "skip to **Step 2**" references a labeled step that does not exist, and "#### 1b." implies a missing "1a", creating minor incoherence. No destructive/batch operations, so no validation cap applies. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist; the single-file skill is organized into clear, well-labeled sections (Install, Authentication, Connecting, Searching, Running, Proxy, Best practices) that are easy to navigate. It exceeds the ~50-line simple-skill threshold and inlines some CLI detail that could live in a reference file, so anchor 4 rather than 5. | 4 / 5 |
