87%Weight 40%Scale 1-3Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A token-efficient, actionable pointer skill that delegates detail to a real, one-level-deep reference with clear navigation. Its only weakness is workflow_clarity: the required gates (including cross-family review) are named but not sequenced as an explicit validation workflow in the body itself.
Suggestions
Add a short explicit checkpoint sequence in the body (e.g. draft → verify every external claim is sourced → run over-claim check → cross-family review → only then ship) so validation is sequenced, not just listed.
State the validate→fix→retry loop explicitly for the cross-family review gate to lift workflow_clarity to 3.
Consider naming the gate checklist as numbered steps so the validation order is unambiguous before delegating to the guide.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean and efficient — it assumes Claude's competence (no explanation of what a blog post is) and every line earns its place: a concrete redirect plus a one-sentence statement of the gates with the #13486 empirical anchor. Not a 2 because there is no unnecessary explanation or padding to tighten. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Gives a concrete, executable instruction — "you MUST immediately use the `view_file` tool to read and strictly adhere to `.agents/skills/blog-post/references/blog-authoring-guide.md` before drafting or editing" — with a specific tool, path, and timing. Not a 2 because the redirect is complete and copy-paste ready rather than vague or pseudocode; the detailed authoring actions are appropriately delegated to the reference. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear trigger→read-guide→adhere sequence is present and the gates ("every external claim sourced, zero over-claims, and cross-family review before it ships") are named, but they are not laid out as an explicit validate→fix→retry workflow with checkpoints in the body. Not a 3 because validation checkpoints are implicit rather than sequenced; not a 1 because the sequence and the gates are stated. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a concise overview with a single, well-signaled one-level-deep reference to `references/blog-authoring-guide.md`, which exists in the bundle (verified). Not a 2 because navigation is explicit (named path + view_file instruction) and content is appropriately split rather than inlined. | 3 / 3 |
