Quality

Content

87%

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 lean, well-structured spec with concrete schemas and a usable loop config; its main gap is the absence of an explicit edit-validation checkpoint in a batch edit workflow.

Suggestions

Add a validation/verification step before marking a step 'completed' (e.g., confirm the diff applies and the file still parses) so the batch edit workflow has an explicit feedback loop.

Make the 'validate -> fix -> retry' loop explicit in the Convergence section rather than relying solely on the iteration cap as the recovery path.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes competence — no concept-explanation padding — and the intro's rationale ('the reviewer can't audit the change') is domain justification rather than filler, with every section earning its place.

3 / 3

Actionability

It provides a concrete receipt schema ('{ files, diffSummary, rationale, completedAt }') and a copy-paste-ready jsonc loop config with an exact convergence expression, giving specific, directly usable guidance.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The loop is sequenced via 'patch-edit-loop' with a termination condition, but for a batch/destructive edit operation there is no explicit validate-the-edit checkpoint — convergence tracks step state, not edit correctness — which caps this at 2.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is short and self-contained with no bundle references, yet well-organized into clear sections (Inputs, Output, Convergence, Anti-patterns, Status) and no nested references, meeting the bar for a simple self-contained skill.

Description

35%

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 concrete about a single action and includes a useful negative constraint, but it relies on internal jargon, lacks any 'Use when...' trigger, and risks overlapping with general editing skills.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause naming natural user triggers (e.g., 'Use when migrating or refactoring code in small reviewable steps') to raise completeness and trigger_term_quality.

Replace system-internal terms ('rewrite-plan step', 'localised change') with language a user would actually say, or pair them with plain-language equivalents.

List the concrete actions the skill performs (e.g., 'apply diffs, write per-step receipts, update step status') to move specificity toward multiple concrete actions.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Quotes a concrete action ('Apply one rewrite-plan step at a time as small reviewable file edits') plus a constraint ('never rewriting whole files when a localised change suffices'), but it is a single action rather than the multiple specific concrete actions the top anchor requires.

2 / 3

Completeness

It clearly states what the skill does but omits any 'Use when...' trigger guidance, so the 'when' is missing rather than explicit, which caps completeness at 2 per the rubric.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

The terms ('rewrite-plan step', 'localised change', 'reviewable') are system-internal jargon a user would not naturally say, and there are no natural-language keyword variations present.

1 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The rewrite-plan patch niche and the 'never rewriting whole files' constraint give it a distinct identity, but it could still overlap with a generic file-editing skill.
