80%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.
The body is a tight, highly actionable instruction sheet: exact script invocations for Bash and PowerShell, a complete commented config example, and explicit graceful-degradation behavior. Its one substantive weakness is the absence of any validation or verification around the batch `git add .` + commit operation, which the rubric caps at 3 for workflow clarity; a lighter issue is the duplicated event-name explanation.
Suggestions
Add a verification step after committing, e.g. check the commit succeeded (`git log -1 --stat`) and report the resulting commit hash — this lifts the batch-operation validation cap on workflow clarity.
Show what happens when the commit fails (e.g., pre-commit hooks rejecting the commit) and what to do, closing the feedback loop for the batch `git add .` operation.
Deduplicate event-name determination: keep it in one place (Execution) and trim the second example list of event names from the Behavior step.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and free of explanations of concepts Claude already knows, but event-name determination is explained twice — "Determines the event name from the hook context (e.g., if invoked as an `after_specify` hook...)" in Behavior step 1 and again in the Execution intro — plus a second example list of event names. These minor duplications match anchor 4 ("Efficient; minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed") rather than 5's "every token earns its place". | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | The skill gives exact copy-paste-ready commands for both shells (".specify/extensions/git/scripts/bash/auto-commit.sh <event_name>", ".../powershell/auto-commit.ps1 <event_name>"), explains placeholder substitution with concrete examples (after_specify, before_plan, after_implement), and includes a complete, commented config YAML block. This matches anchor 5 ("Fully executable; copy-paste ready code or commands; specific examples cover the common cases"). | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The sequence is clearly laid out (numbered Behavior steps, Execution, Configuration, Graceful Degradation), but the core operation — "runs `git add .` + `git commit`" over all changes — is a batch operation with no validation or verification step (no check of what is being staged, no confirmation the commit succeeded). The rubric's judging guideline caps batch operations without validation at workflow clarity 3, and this cap takes precedence over the simple-skill exception, so 3 rather than 4. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, needs no external reference files (none exist in the bundle), and is organized into well-signaled sections (Behavior, Execution, Configuration, Graceful Degradation). Per the rubric's guidance, a sub-50-line skill with no need for external references scores 5 with just well-organized sections. | 5 / 5 |
