85%Weight 40%Scale 1-3Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-engineered orchestration skill body: actionable, with a clearly sequenced multi-wave workflow, explicit validation checkpoints, and clean one-level-deep externalization of schemas, template, and linter. The only real weakness is conciseness — the advisory-regime point is restated several times and the topology diagram is large.
Suggestions
Consolidate the 'advisory, not gate / no verdict labels' point so it is stated once in 'Architecture invariants' and referenced rather than re-explained in Wave 4, Wave 6, the output contract, and Gotchas.
Consider condensing the ASCII topology diagram or moving the per-wave detail into the wave sections to reduce redundant rendering of the same structure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and operational and assumes Claude's competence (no basic-concept padding), but it is long and restates the 'advisory, not gate' invariant across the invariants, Wave 4, Wave 6, output contract, and gotchas, and the ASCII topology could be tightened. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Gives concrete executable guidance: exact asset paths, exact thresholds ('shocked_meter_avg >= 7.0', blocker veto, 'max 2 attempts'), itemized per-task prompt contents, and explicit ordered Wave 0 decision rules — copy-paste-ready for an orchestration skill. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Waves 0–6 are clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints (schema-validate each panelist return, validate the synthesizer return, 11-check linter), feedback loops (re-spawn on malformed returns), and defined loop budgets — matching the clear-sequence-with-validation anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is an overview pointing to four well-signaled, one-level-deep asset files (panelist-return-schema.json, synthesizer-return-schema.json, linter-checklist.md, comment-template.md), all verified present, with the heavy schemas/template/linter appropriately externalized rather than inlined. | 3 / 3 |
