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.
The content is a concrete, executable integration guide with a well-sequenced connection workflow and state-based checkpoints. Its main weakness is token efficiency: generic overview prose, a vacant "When to use which actions" line, and a duplicated action-list command inflate the body without adding guidance.
Suggestions
Delete the generic overview paragraph ("Retriever is a search and discovery platform...") and the empty "When to use which actions" line; Claude can infer what Retriever is.
Merge the duplicated action-discovery command from "Searching for actions" and "Popular actions" into a single section to remove redundancy.
Define or remove the undefined "Step 2" reference and renumber the "1b. Wait for the connection to be ready" subsection so the sequence is unambiguous.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly concrete commands, but it carries removable filler — the generic overview paragraph ("Retriever is a search and discovery platform..."), the empty "When to use which actions: Use action names and parameters as needed" line, and a duplicated action-list command across "Searching for actions" and "Popular actions." | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | It provides copy-paste-ready commands for install, login, connection ensure/get, action list, action run, and proxy requests, plus a flags table; minor gaps remain where placeholders (CONNECTION_ID, QUERY intent, actionId) are left abstract. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The install → authenticate → connect → poll-for-ready → search → run sequence is clear with state-based checkpoints (READY/BUILDING/CLIENT_ACTION_REQUIRED) and a re-poll feedback loop, but "Step 2" is referenced and never defined and the "1b" numbering is awkward. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well organized into clearly headed sections with no nested external references and no bundle files to misplace; the proxy flags table is reasonably inline, though the skill is longer than a minimal single-purpose skill. | 4 / 5 |
