85%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, highly actionable multi-step review workflow with strong validation checkpoints and concrete commands. Its main weakness is progressive disclosure: the content is largely inline and references an api-conventions.md file that is absent from the bundle.
Suggestions
Add the referenced api-conventions.md to the skill's references/ directory (or remove the 'cat .claude/skills/review/api-conventions.md' instruction) so the bundle is self-contained and the reference is not dangling.
Extract the large report template and the Breaker/API Analyst persona blocks into a references/ file, keeping SKILL.md as a lean overview that links to them one level deep.
Tighten the persona quotes (Breaker/API Analyst) to a few bullet-pointed mindset prompts to reduce token weight while preserving the behavioral framing.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Dense, operational guidance that assumes Claude's competence (no explanations of git/diff basics), though the multi-line persona quotes for Breaker and API Analyst could be trimmed without losing intent. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable: copy-paste bash commands ('git diff --stat', 'git ls-files --others --exclude-standard'), a concrete report template, explicit severity/promotion tables, and a fixed output format cover the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 1–9 are clearly sequenced with explicit validation gates (empty-diff, size, no-code, high-confidence checklist), verdict rules, and an Edge Cases section providing error-recovery guidance. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body has clear section headers and signals referenced files by name, but the procedure is a monolithic ~330-line inline block and the referenced api-conventions.md is not present in the skill's bundle, leaving a dangling reference. | 3 / 5 |
