guide-authoring

Authoring OR reviewing a learn/ guide (learn/benefits/*.md, learn/agentos/*.md). Enforces the grounding discipline (memory-mine + use-the-subsystem's-tools before writing), the rich-narrative + benefits + lived-voice content bar, render-verified TD Mermaid, conceptual-vs-reference separation, the never-hand-edit-generated-files rule, and a no-rubber-stamp reviewer gate.

Quality

Content

65%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

The body is a tight, well-structured pointer to a substantial reference file with excellent progressive disclosure, but it is thin on standalone actionability and lacks an in-body sequenced workflow with validation checkpoints.

Suggestions

Add a brief in-body numbered sequence for the authoring/review workflow (e.g. 1. memory-mine, 2. use subsystem tools + read artifacts, 3. V-B-A verify claims, 4. render-verify diagrams, 5. review against the WHOLE bar) so the core flow is visible without opening the reference.

Include an explicit validation/checkpoint step in the body (e.g. 'Verify every factual claim against current code/ADRs/config before posting a verdict') to satisfy the destructive/batch validation requirement.

Trim the historical anecdote to a single clause to lift conciseness toward 5.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean (two short paragraphs) and assumes Claude's competence, but the historical war-story anecdote (MemoryCore ~7 cycles, KnowledgeBase reversal) is mild persuasion that could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

Gives one concrete executable instruction (use the view_file tool to read a specific named path), but the substantive execution guidance is entirely deferred to the reference file, leaving standalone coverage incomplete.

3 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear precedence gate is stated ('read X before writing/posting a verdict'), but there is no numbered sequence, no validation checkpoints, and no feedback loop in the body itself; for a 9/10-or-bounce reviewer gate this caps clarity at 3.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a concise overview pointing to a single, clearly-signaled, one-level-deep reference (guide-authoring-bar.md, verified present and substantial) with content appropriately split out.

Description

67%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

The description is specific and distinctive, clearly delineating a niche with comprehensive named disciplines, but it lacks an explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause, which caps trigger-term quality and completeness at 3.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause naming natural trigger phrases (e.g. 'Use when authoring or reviewing a learn/ guide, or when the user asks to write/create/edit a benefits or agentos guide').

Include common natural synonyms users would say (write, create, edit, draft) alongside the path patterns to broaden trigger-term coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific, concrete enforced disciplines (grounding via memory-mine + use-the-subsystem's-tools, render-verified TD Mermaid, conceptual-vs-reference separation, never-hand-edit-generated-files rule, no-rubber-stamp reviewer gate) with comprehensive coverage.

5 / 5

Completeness

'What' is clearly and comprehensively stated, but 'when' is only weakly implied via 'Authoring OR reviewing a learn/ guide' with no explicit 'Use when...' clause, capping completeness at 3 per the rubric guideline.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Concrete path patterns (learn/benefits/*.md, learn/agentos/*.md) serve as domain triggers, but there is no explicit 'Use when...' phrase and natural synonyms ('write', 'create', 'edit') are absent.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Highly specific path-scoped niche (learn/benefits/*.md, learn/agentos/*.md) with a named discipline set gives clear distinct triggers and minimal conflict risk with other skills.
