67%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 tool-retrieval skill with a clear phased workflow and useful domain-specific reference material. Its main weaknesses are redundant restatements of the same API quirks and the absence of progressive disclosure into bundled reference files.
Suggestions
De-duplicate the "Response Format Notes" (stated in Phase 1, Phase 2, and the Tool Parameter Reference) and the "MassIVE has no keyword search" note (repeated in four sections) into a single canonical location.
Move stable reference material — the Common Species Taxonomy IDs table and the Tool Parameter Reference — into a bundled reference file (e.g., references/tool_reference.md) and link to it from SKILL.md to improve progressive disclosure.
Add one fenced, end-to-end worked example (e.g., keyword search → detail retrieval → synthesized report) so the workflow is copy-paste executable rather than described inline.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient, but "Response Format Notes" is stated in Phase 1, Phase 2, and the Tool Parameter Reference, and "MassIVE has no keyword/text search" is repeated across Key Principles, Phase 0, Phase 1, and Limitations — clear redundancy that could be tightened. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete tool calls with typed parameters (e.g., `MassIVE_search_datasets(page_size=20, species="9606")`), return shapes, and a parameter reference table give executable guidance, but invocations are inline prose rather than fenced copy-paste blocks and there is no end-to-end worked example. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Phases 0–3 are clearly sequenced with decision logic, parallel-call guidance, and a fallback table for error recovery, though the flow lacks explicit "validate the result" checkpoints. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized into clearly headed sections and tables with no nested references, but it is a single ~290-line file with no bundled reference files; reference-style material (taxonomy table, parameter reference) is inlined rather than split out. | 4 / 5 |
