team-lead-reference

Provides model routing rules, validates delegation prerequisites, supplies cost tracking templates, defines dead-letter queue formats for Team Lead orchestration. Load when assigning tasks to agents, choosing model tiers, starting delegation session, running multi-agent workflow, delegating work, choosing which model to use, or assigning tasks.

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is a well-crafted orchestration reference skill that excels at conciseness through heavy use of tables and structured formats. The workflow is clearly sequenced with appropriate validation checkpoints and error recovery paths. The main weakness is that progressive disclosure relies on external files that aren't provided in the bundle, and the skill packs a lot of reference material (DLQ format, dispute protocol) that could potentially be split out.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The content is highly efficient — uses tables extensively to compress information, avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows, and every section delivers actionable reference material without padding or unnecessary context.	3 / 3
Actionability	Provides concrete JSON envelope templates, specific checklists with numbered items, exact file paths for logging, precise scoring criteria with examples, and clear routing rules. The delegation envelope is copy-paste ready with field-level documentation.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	The delegation sequence is clearly numbered 1-7 with explicit steps. Status handling includes feedback loops (Blocked → upgrade/escalate, never re-dispatch unchanged; Needs context → provide info, re-dispatch). Pre-delegation policy checks serve as validation checkpoints before destructive delegation. The Deepen-Plan Protocol has clear decision criteria for when to skip vs. deepen.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	References to external files like agent-registry.md, orchestration-protocols skill, session-checkpoints skill, and observability-logging skill are present and clearly signaled. However, no bundle files are provided to verify these references exist, and some content (like the Dead Letter Queue format and Dispute Protocol) could potentially be split into separate reference files to keep the main skill leaner.	2 / 3

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

This is a strong skill description that clearly articulates specific capabilities (model routing, delegation validation, cost tracking, dead-letter queues) and provides explicit trigger guidance with a comprehensive 'Load when...' clause. The description is well-scoped to a distinct domain of multi-agent orchestration, making it easy to distinguish from other skills. It uses proper third-person voice throughout.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'model routing rules', 'validates delegation prerequisites', 'supplies cost tracking templates', 'defines dead-letter queue formats'. These are distinct, concrete capabilities.	3 / 3
Completeness	Clearly answers both 'what' (model routing rules, delegation prerequisites, cost tracking templates, dead-letter queue formats) and 'when' with an explicit 'Load when...' clause listing seven trigger scenarios.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Includes strong natural trigger terms users would say: 'assigning tasks to agents', 'choosing model tiers', 'delegation', 'multi-agent workflow', 'choosing which model to use', 'delegating work'. Good coverage of natural variations.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Targets a clear niche of multi-agent orchestration, model routing, and delegation workflows. The combination of 'Team Lead orchestration', 'dead-letter queue formats', and 'model tiers' is highly distinctive and unlikely to conflict with other skills.	3 / 3
