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, highly actionable rule set with concrete D3 API guidance and a well-structured, verified reference split. Its main gap is that the 'Working Pattern' is a sequenced checklist without explicit validation or feedback-loop checkpoints.
Suggestions
Add an explicit validation/verification checkpoint to the Working Pattern (e.g., a 'finish' step that confirms svg-polish-and-crispness checks pass and the chart recomputes for mobile before declaring done), to lift workflow_clarity above 2.
Introduce a short feedback loop (validate → fix → re-validate) for the export/rebuild path so the workflow qualifies as having explicit error-recovery steps.
Consider one minimal copy-paste-ready D3 code skeleton in Core Building Blocks to make the actionability even more concrete for users who want a starting point.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body never explains concepts Claude already knows (no 'D3 is a JavaScript library...') and packs each line with concrete defaults and rules, so every token earns its place per the lean-and-efficient anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Highly actionable guidance with specific API calls ('.tickSizeOuter(0)', 'shape-rendering: crispEdges', 'vector-effect: non-scaling-stroke') and concrete px defaults; per the scoring note, absence of full code snippets in an instruction-only skill is not penalized when guidance is this concrete. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 'Working Pattern' gives a numbered sequence but reads as a best-practice checklist rather than a workflow with explicit validation checkpoints or fix/retry feedback loops, matching the steps-listed-but-checkpoints-missing level-2 anchor. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Clear sectioned overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references; all referenced local bundle files exist (d3-module-map.md, d3-architecture-patterns.md, d3-interaction-and-annotation.md, d3-pitfalls-and-scale-limits.md, svg-polish-and-crispness.md), and dense material like svg-polish is correctly split into a separate file. | 3 / 3 |
