88%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 tightly edited orchestrator index with explicit gates, quantified defaults, and research grounding pushed to a reference file — the anti-verbosity pattern done well. The only material weakness is bundle integrity: the rule and template files the workflow depends on are not present alongside SKILL.md as provided, which caps both actionability and progressive disclosure.
Suggestions
Ship or verify the referenced bundle files: rules/divergence.md, rules/idea-scoring.md, rules/evolution-loop.md, rules/self-improvement-loop.md, rules/diagnostic-surface.md, and templates/ideation-report.md are linked from the phase table but missing from the bundle — the skill's core phases are non-executable without them.
Inline a minimal fallback for each rule file (or a one-line summary of the procedure it contains) so a reader without the bundle can still run a degraded quick-mode pass.
Verify every relative link resolves in the distributed package (e.g., add a bundle self-check step), since the §-pointer scheme only works if references/ideation-research.md and rules/*.md travel with SKILL.md.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is a lean orchestration index: mode/flag/triage tables, an 8-phase gate table, terse principles, and research claims delegated to § pointers in the reference file instead of re-explained. It assumes Claude's competence throughout (e.g., "Restate the problem in one sentence and name the success criterion") with no primer content. Not a 4 because the few justificatory asides ("the width variation is the evidenced part (§2.5)") are provenance notes that earn their tokens. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Mostly executable: exact generator burst sizes, subagent counts (~17 cost breakdown), concrete `memory.list` calls with scope/tags/limit, `Skill("confidence", "analysis")` composition calls, report path format, and first-match-wins triage rules. However, the procedures for phases 2–6 live in `rules/*.md` files that are not present in the provided bundle, so the body alone leaves key execution details (generator prompts, scoring rubric, recombination mechanics) unresolved. Not a 5 because copy-through executable guidance for the core phases depends on files the reader cannot open here; not a 3 because what is inline (intake, framing, triage, composition, gates) is fully concrete. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 8-phase table gives every phase an explicit gate (pool ≥ 12/25 unique ideas, "zero evaluation happened during generation", confidence ≥ 70, "stopped on flat external scores"), backed by a Definition of Done checklist and per-phase inline procedures for phases 0–1. Validation checkpoints and stopping conditions are explicit at each decision point. Not a 4 because checkpoints are not merely present — they are quantified and paired with an end-of-run checklist. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Textbook thin-index structure: a Contents nav, a phase table linking each procedure file by role, and one-level-deep references; the one bundled file (`references/ideation-research.md`) exists and its §-sections match every § pointer in the body. However, six referenced paths (`rules/divergence.md`, `rules/idea-scoring.md`, `rules/evolution-loop.md`, `rules/self-improvement-loop.md`, `rules/diagnostic-surface.md`, `templates/ideation-report.md`) are absent from the provided bundle, so navigation does not fully resolve as listed. Not a 5 solely because of those unresolvable paths; not a 3 because the structure, signaling, and depth discipline are otherwise exactly right. | 4 / 5 |
