75%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 highly actionable, well-sequenced tool-calling skill with executable examples and a useful completeness checklist. Its main weakness is conciseness: the Interpretation Table re-explains standard genomics concepts Claude already knows, and the long worked-example section could be split into a reference file.
Suggestions
Trim the Interpretation Table to the non-obvious gotchas only (number_of_chromosomes counts plasmids, GCF-over-GCA preference, pagination via metadata.total_available); drop basic definitions of N50, GC%, and assembly-level meanings that Claude already knows.
Move the three Worked Examples into a references/ file (e.g. examples.md) and keep one short canonical example inline, improving both conciseness and progressive_disclosure.
Add a brief error-recovery note for the workflow (what to do when suggest_taxonomy returns no matches or an accession is not found) to close the workflow_clarity validation gap.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient, but the 'Interpretation Table' over-explains standard bioinformatics concepts Claude already knows ('Contig N50: the contig length at which 50% of the assembly is in contigs >= that size', definitions of Complete Genome/Chromosome/Scaffold/Contig); not the 4 anchor because the padding is noticeable rather than minor, not the 2 anchor because much of the content (GCF-vs-GCA preference, the number_of_chromosomes gotcha, pagination) genuinely earns its place. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable tool calls with exact JSON params throughout (e.g. NCBIDatasets_list_genomes_by_taxon {"taxon":"562","limit":5,"reference_only":true}) and three worked examples with real accessions and actual returned metrics; not the 4 anchor because examples are copy-paste ready and cover the common cases rather than having minor gaps. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear Phase 0-5 sequence plus a 'Completeness Checklist' acting as a pre-answer validation checkpoint; not the 5 anchor because there is no explicit error-recovery feedback loop for tool failures (e.g. empty suggest_taxonomy results, missing accession), and not the 3 anchor because the checklist supplies a real checkpoint and the read-only nature means the destructive-operation cap does not apply. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized into clear sections (Tools, Workflow, Interpretation, Examples, Limitations, Checklist) with no nested references and no bundle files present; not the 5 anchor because the three worked examples and the Interpretation Table are substantial inlined content that could live in one-level-deep reference files to shorten the core, and not the 3 anchor because sectioning is clear and nothing is buried. | 4 / 5 |
