86%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 routing skill with concrete error-code triggers, explicit escalation behavior, and a clean one-level reference to evals.md. The main improvements are tightening the repeated transport-failure conditions and handling the time-sensitive starter-model mention so it does not drift.
Suggestions
Consolidate section 1's duplicated detection phrasing ('before any OpenAI API response exists' appears in both bullets) and drop rule 2, which restates the same distinction already enforced by the routing order.
Move the 'gpt-5.4-mini' starter-model mention out of the routing branch or into a clearly marked versioned note, so specific model names that drift over time do not sit in the core instructions.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence, but section 1 states its detection conditions twice ('before any OpenAI API response exists' in both bullets), rule 2 restates section 1, and the pinned starter model 'gpt-5.4-mini' is time-sensitive detail not placed in a deprecated/old-patterns section — minor trim opportunities that keep it below the every-token-earns-its-place anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is fully executable for an instruction-only skill: exact error codes (invalid_api_key, insufficient_quota, rate_limit_exceeded, 401/403/429), a concrete escalation command ('sandbox_permissions=require_escalated'), exact billing/limits URLs, and named hand-off targets cover the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The routing is a clearly ordered decision tree (transport first, then API-side branches) with useful checkpoints (retry with escalation, 'continue with the routing below using that concrete response', ambiguity routed to openai-docs), but it stops short of the 5 anchor's explicit validation/feedback loop confirming the classification before advising the user. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Under 50 lines with well-organized Routing/Rules/References sections and a clearly signaled, one-level-deep reference to the real file references/evals.md; matches the simple-skill ideal of a clean overview with an external detail file. | 5 / 5 |
