77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a strong, highly actionable skill with excellent concrete examples covering multiple connector strategies, native CDC API, and operational concerns like EOS and DLQ. The workflow clarity is good with explicit sequencing and a comprehensive checklist. The main weakness is that the SKILL.md tries to be both an overview and a detailed reference, inlining content (event structure, selector tables) that should live in the referenced files, making it longer than necessary for a top-level skill file.
Suggestions
Move the detailed Event Structure, Selector Reference table, and Schema Registry converter configs to the referenced files (references/cdc-api.md and references/sink-config.md) and keep only brief summaries with links in SKILL.md.
Ensure the referenced bundle files (references/sink-config.md, references/cdc-api.md) actually exist to support the progressive disclosure structure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is generally efficient and avoids explaining basic concepts, but it's quite long (~350 lines). Some sections like the full event structure and the selector reference table could be offloaded to reference files. The decision table and checklist add value, but the overall length pushes it toward verbose for a SKILL.md overview. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Excellent actionability throughout — every strategy has complete, copy-paste-ready JSON configs and executable Cypher/Python code. The cursor-loop Python pattern, EOS setup steps, and DLQ config are all fully concrete and immediately usable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Multi-step processes are clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints. The EOS setup has numbered steps (create constraint first, then configure), the checklist provides a verification loop, and the common errors table serves as a troubleshooting feedback mechanism. The cursor-loop pattern includes proper cursor advancement logic. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | References to supporting files (references/sink-config.md, references/cdc-api.md) are present and well-signaled, but no bundle files were provided, suggesting these references may be broken. More importantly, substantial reference material (event structure, full selector reference table, schema registry details) is inlined in the SKILL.md rather than being offloaded to the referenced files, making the main file heavier than ideal. | 2 / 3 |
