92%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 well-structured, highly actionable skill body: exact commands and MCP signatures, a sequenced six-phase workflow with validation gates and checklists, and clean one-level-deep reference disclosure. The only soft spot is minor reinforcement duplication of critical rules across sections.
Suggestions
Consolidate the 'don't expand scope beyond the task's Findings' rule into one canonical location (e.g., Critical rules) and cross-reference it from the Linear protocol and Phase 3 rather than restating it three times.
In Phase 5, make the test-failure feedback loop explicit (e.g., 'if a test fails: fix the code, re-run the same --testPathPattern, only proceed when green') instead of leaving retry as an implicit footgun warning.
Consider folding the 'Reference PRs' list and the 'Source-of-truth split' table into a reference file or trimming, since they are context-heavy and date-stale by the skill's own admission.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and assumes Claude's competence (no explaining what Nx or peer deps are), with every section earning its place, but a few critical rules are restated across sections — e.g., "don't expand scope beyond the task's Findings" appears in the Linear-fetching protocol, Phase 3 step 12, and Critical rule 1b — which could be trimmed. It is above the 3 anchor (no padding or unnecessary concept explanation) but not fully lean given the reinforcement duplication. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides copy-paste-ready, executable guidance throughout: exact MCP call signatures (mcp__linear-server__get_issue id="NXC-XXXX"), concrete gh commands (gh pr view <N> --repo nrwl/nx --json state), and specific test commands (npx nx test <plugin> --testPathPattern="all-generators-enforce-floor") plus named spec files. Not the 4 anchor because the examples cover the common cases with no real gaps. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Six sequenced phases with an explicit User OK gate before edits, Phase 1–2 never-writes rule, Phase 5 local verification (test + format), footgun warnings, and the A–F verification checklist. The destructive/batch cap does not apply because validation checkpoints are present, so this clears the 4 anchor with explicit validation and checklists. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | SKILL.md is an overview/workflow that points one level deep to real bundle files (references/canonical-shape.md, anti-patterns.md, gotchas.md, examples.md — all present), with a per-mode "Which references to load" table and an explicit injunction not to pull all of them. Not the 4 anchor because references are clearly signaled and content is appropriately split with easy navigation. | 5 / 5 |
