100%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 instruction-only skill body: concise, fully actionable with concrete commands and paths, a clearly sequenced workflow with explicit verification gates before posting, and clean delegation of detail to existing repo documents. No dimension shows a notable weakness.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and directive with zero padding: every sentence carries repo-specific information Claude could not infer ('Those tests call the real Mixpanel API, and some of them write data', 'The unit tests run offline with mocks'). It fully assumes Claude's competence, matching anchor 5 ('every token earns its place'). | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is fully executable for an instruction-only skill: concrete commands ('uv run pytest <file>::<test> -q', 'uv run mp help <Name>', 'uv run python -c "..."') and exact file paths ('src/mixpanel_headless/__init__.py', 'CHANGELOG.md', '.github/instructions/', 'docs/guide/'). This matches anchor 5 (copy-paste ready commands covering the common cases). | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear four-phase sequence (collect context, check findings, check public API changes, post) with explicit validation gates: 'Where you can, prove the finding', 'If you cannot support the finding with a line or a check, do not post it', plus safety guards ('Never run tests under tests/live/', 'never pass -m live'). The verification this posting workflow requires is present, so the missing-validation cap does not apply; this matches anchor 5. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is under 50 lines with well-organized numbered sections and no need for bundle files, so the simple-skill guideline applies. It appropriately delegates detail to one-level-deep, clearly signaled repo files (REVIEW.md for priorities and severity, .github/instructions/ per changed area, per-folder CLAUDE.md guides), matching anchor 5. | 5 / 5 |
