92%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.
An exemplary operational skill body: concrete executable commands at every step, explicit branches and validation feedback loops, and clean one-level-deep progressive disclosure verified against the actual bundle. The only cost is mild token overhead from repeated shell-guard boilerplate and dense approval/scope prose.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and operational with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, but the `cd -- '<working_dir>' || { echo "BLOCKED…"; exit 1; }` guard is repeated verbatim in roughly eight code blocks, and the invocation-scope/approval prose is heavier than needed. This fits anchor 4 (efficient with minor trimmable instances) rather than anchor 5, where every token would earn its place; it is well above anchor 3, since there is no conceptual padding. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable, copy-paste-ready guidance throughout: exact CLI commands (`$PA connection list-datasets …`, `pa app add data-source …`, `npx --no-install tsc --noEmit`), a runnable PowerShell setup, and a TypeScript sample covering the common read/create/update cases. Execution details that would bloat the file (column encoding, auth internals, list-management functions) are correctly delegated to reference files, matching anchor 5's coverage of common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly enumerated 12-step sequence with named branches (existing vs. new lists, --remove, --refresh, --plan-only), explicit validation checkpoints (review existing lists before creating in Step 4; type-check with "Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding" in Step 11), and error-recovery feedback loops (retry once on list-datasets failure; STOP if the site list is empty after confirmation). This matches anchor 5; anchor 4 would require some of these checkpoints to be missing or implicit. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A clear overview workflow with a well-signaled References section at the top, each with a one-line purpose tag ("Column encoding, choice fields, lookups, API patterns (CRITICAL)"). All three cited ./references/*.md files exist in the bundle, and references are one level deep. Step 10's inline TypeScript sample is appropriately placed at overview level; this matches anchor 5's clear-overview pattern rather than anchor 4's minor organization gaps. | 5 / 5 |
