82%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 tightly written, operationally rich skill body that front-loads tool names, parameter gotchas, and quality/evidence thresholds without padding. The main gaps are the absence of an explicit inter-phase validation checkpoint and a complete end-to-end runnable example.
Suggestions
Add an explicit validation/verification step in the workflow (e.g., 'Before Phase 5, confirm each MAG meets at least Medium quality tier via CheckM metrics') to push workflow_clarity toward 5.
Include one short end-to-end example showing a full tool-call sequence for a representative query (e.g., an IBD amplicon study) to lift actionability from concrete signatures to fully executable guidance.
Consider splitting the dense Key Phase Notes table (KEGG pathways) or the quality-tier thresholds into a reference file if the skill grows, to keep the overview scannable.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean and dense throughout — tables, terse phase notes, and operational gotchas (MeSH terms, KEGG pathway IDs, CheckM thresholds) with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every section earns its tokens, matching the top anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, copy-paste-ready guidance at the tool-call level ('GTDB_search_taxon(operation="search_taxon", query=name)', 'kegg_search_pathway(keyword=...) NOT query', 'study_title="*IBD*"', exact MeSH terms and quality thresholds); not a 5 because there is no full end-to-end executable example, only inline tool signatures. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 8-phase sequence (Phase 0-7) each mapped to named tools, plus an Edge Cases & Fallbacks section giving error recovery ('If ENA fails, fall back to MGnify'); not a 5 because there are no explicit validation checkpoints between phases (e.g., confirm genome-quality tier before interpretation). | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized into clearly headed sections (Core Databases, Workflow, Key Phase Notes, Edge Cases, Limitations) with no nested references and content kept at overview level; no bundle files exist so references cannot be evaluated, and the body slightly exceeds the <50-line simple-skill threshold, keeping it just below 5. | 4 / 5 |
