87%Weight 40%Scale 1-3Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A lean, actionable skill body that gives real executable commands and well-organized sections without explaining concepts Claude already knows. The main gap is the absence of an explicit validate→fix→retry feedback loop for the batch pipeline workflow, which leaves workflow clarity at 2.
Suggestions
Add an explicit feedback loop after the runner: e.g. inspect qc/umi_postrun_summary.tsv, and if on-target rate or family-size metrics fall below thresholds, adjust --umi-mode/filters and re-run — this would lift workflow clarity to 3.
Surface a short 'verify' checklist that maps each Decision Point (e.g. separate raw vs molecular depth, low-AF artifact review) to the specific qc/ output column to check, making the implicit verification steps explicit.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence — it never explains what UMIs, duplex consensus, or target BEDs are, and uses compact checklists and commands; even the dense Route paragraph documents tool-specific outputs rather than padding with concept explanations, so it sits at the score-3 'every token earns its place' anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands — the preflight 'python plugins/ngs-analysis/scripts/ngs_preflight.py --pipeline dna_umi_panel_variants --emit-install-plan' and the run_dna_umi_panel_variants.py invocation with concrete flags (--umi-mode duplex, --umi-tag RX, --execute) — matching the score-3 executable-code anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A sequence is present (confirm inputs → preflight → runner → review QC/outputs) with verification via the postrun summary and molecular-evidence contract, but there is no explicit validate→fix→retry feedback loop for this batch pipeline operation; the guidelines cap workflow clarity at 2 when such checkpoints are implicit rather than spelled out, so it is below the score-3 anchor and above the score-1 'steps unclear' anchor. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | This is a single-file skill with no references/, scripts/, or assets/ bundle directories and well-organized sections (Essential Inputs, Route, Decision Points, Outputs) with no nested references; per the simple-skills scoring note, well-organized sections with no need for external references score 3. | 3 / 3 |
