Content
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The content is highly actionable with a clear, well-checkpointed workflow and concrete templates, but it is a long monolithic file with some redundancy across the caps, Red Flags, and Quick Reference sections. Splitting reference material into bundle files and trimming restatement would improve it.
Suggestions
Move the rating rubric, type/risk taxonomy, and ASCII diagram format into a references/ file to slim the main body and enable one-level-deep progressive disclosure.
Deduplicate the caps: the "Red Flags" table restates the 30-path and 20-test limits and the 2-minute cap already listed in "Caps and Limits"; keep them in one place.
Trim the "Quick Reference" section since it only restates the phase headings, or replace it with genuinely new callout content.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body mostly assumes Claude's competence without explaining basics, but the "Red Flags" table restates the caps, the "Quick Reference" restates the phases, and scattered WHY notes add mild padding that could be trimmed. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Concrete, copy-paste-ready git/grep/find commands, markdown inventory and coverage-map templates, an ASCII diagram spec with exact fractions, and explicit caps make the guidance fully executable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 4-phase sequence with numbered steps, explicit caps, a 2-minute "mark as needs manual review" checkpoint, and a Red Flags checklist provides explicit validation and error-recovery guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist, so cross-skill pointers (skill-tdd, skill-verification-gate, codex-host-adapter.md) are not progressive-disclosure references for this skill; the ~245-line body is a self-contained monolith with sections but no content split into detail files. | 2 / 3 |
