75%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 with a clear phased workflow, hard limits, and concrete templates. Remaining gaps are minor: duplicated cap content in the Red Flags table, placeholder-laden search commands, delegated rather than inline test validation, and references to bundle files that do not exist.
Suggestions
Replace the placeholder-bracketed search commands in Phase 2 (e.g., grep -rl "[module_name]" tests/) with one fully worked example against a real filename so they are copy-paste ready.
Add an inline validation step in Phase 4 that runs the generated tests (or inline the essential check from skill-verification-gate) so the generate phase is not solely dependent on an external skill.
Collapse the Red Flags entries that restate the Caps and Limits section into a single pointer, freeing tokens for the missing trigger/coverage details.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and assumes Claude's competence (tables, commands, templates, no concept explanations), but the Red Flags table duplicates the Caps and Limits section ("Exceed the 30-path cap", "Generate more than 20 tests", "Spend more than 2 min on one path"). Efficient overall with minor redundancy that could be trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete executable commands are provided (git diff variants, find/grep test-search commands) plus exact table templates and a scoring rubric. However, several commands embed placeholder brackets ("[changed_file_stem]", "[module_name]", "[function_name]") requiring substitution, so they are not fully copy-paste ready. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear Phase 1-4 sequence with explicit caps, fallback behavior ("mark it as 'needs manual review' and move on"), and a Quick Reference recap. Test-suite validation exists only as a cross-reference to skill-verification-gate rather than an inline checkpoint, leaving a minor validation gap in the generate-tests phase. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized sections with no nested references and appropriately inline core content. The body references files outside this bundle (skills/blocks/codex-host-adapter.md) and sibling skills (flow-deliver, skill-tdd, skill-verification-gate) that are not present, a minor navigation/organization gap. | 4 / 5 |
