73%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 strong, well-sequenced workflow with concrete commands, explicit dry-run and verification checkpoints, and genuine error-recovery loops including when to abandon the skill and escalate. Its main weakness is token efficiency: a conceptual intro, a buildability tutorial, and repeated caveats pad out otherwise lean instruction.
Suggestions
Cut the conceptual intro paragraph and the buildability explanation bullets ("Have their own build target", "Required for npm publishing") — Claude already knows what buildable libraries are; keep only the workspace policy (default to non-buildable), the flag table, and the clarifying question.
State the "targets are just an example, check what this workspace uses" caveat once instead of repeating it in steps 4, 7's note, and 9.
Consider moving the `--directory` behavior gotcha and the buildability guidance into a references/ file so SKILL.md stays a lean overview with one-level-deep pointers.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient and command-driven, but several passages explain concepts Claude already knows: the intro ("Nx generators are powerful tools that scaffold projects... They ensure consistency across the codebase"), the buildability tutorial bullets ("Have their own build target", "Useful for stable libs that rarely change (cache hits)", "Required for npm publishing"), and the repeated caveat "these targets are just an example" stated twice in steps 4 and 9. Not 4 because there are several distinct padded passages rather than minor instances; not 2 because the bulk of the body is lean, actionable instruction. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Nearly every step carries an executable command: `npx nx list @nx/react`, `npx nx g @nx/react:library --help`, `node -e "console.log(require.resolve('@nx/<plugin>/generators.json'));"`, `npx nx g @nx/react:library --name=my-lib --dry-run --no-interactive`, `nx format --fix`, and `nx run-many -t build,lint,test,typecheck`, plus concrete correct/incorrect `--directory` examples. Not 5 because the core run command (`nx generate <generator-name> <options> --no-interactive`) and the `@nx/<plugin>` placeholder are templates rather than concrete copy-paste examples; not 3 because the guidance is genuinely executable with only minor gaps. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 9-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoints ("Always run with `--dry-run` first to verify files will be created in the correct location", format-and-verify in step 9) and genuine feedback loops: "If verification fails with manageable issues (a few lint errors, minor type issues), fix them" with an escalation path, and "After reading the source, reconsider: Is this the right generator? If not, go back to step 2". This matches the anchor-5 pattern of explicit validation plus error-recovery loops; nothing is missing for a 4. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist (no references/, scripts/, or assets/ directories) and all references in the body are to commands or one cross-skill pointer ("The `link-workspace-packages` skill can help"), so there are no dangling or nested file references. Section structure is clear and easy to navigate. Not 5 because at ~167 lines with self-contained tutorial content (the buildability table and explanation, the `--directory` gotcha block) it is more than a lean overview that could split detail into a reference file; not 3 because the structure is good and nothing that clearly belongs in a separate file is buried or unorganized. | 4 / 5 |
