72%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.
An exceptionally lean, well-organized diagnostic skill whose main weakness is the absence of any concrete commands — the body tells Claude what to check but never how, so it relies entirely on Claude's general knowledge for execution. The workflow is clearly sequenced but validation is implicit rather than an explicit feedback loop.
Suggestions
Add copy-paste-ready validation commands to the workflow steps, e.g. `codesign --verify --deep --strict /path/App.app`, `spctl -a -vv App.app`, and `xcrun notarytool history` in the 'Inspect signing' step, to lift actionability.
Make validation an explicit checkpoint in the workflow (e.g., step 4: run the verification commands, and only then classify the artifact as distribution-ready), turning the implicit validation into a feedback loop.
Add the common trigger keywords from the domain (codesign, signing identity, hardened runtime, .app bundle, .dmg) to the description so users searching on those terms match the skill.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~43-line body is lean with no padding and no explanations of concepts Claude already knows (e.g., it never explains what notarization or hardened runtime is). Every section — Quick Start, Workflow, Guardrails, Output Expectations — earns its place, matching the 'lean and efficient' anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | The body names concrete inspection targets ("nested frameworks, helper tools, and entitlements", "hardened runtime", "nested code signatures") but provides zero executable commands — no codesign, spctl, or xcrun notarytool invocations — leaving the actual validation steps to be filled in. This sits between the 'high-level hints' anchor (2) and 'concrete but incomplete' anchor (3); the specific checkpoint names lift it to 3. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear four-step sequence is present (confirm goal → inspect artifact → inspect prerequisites → explain readiness), and the Output Expectations section requires reporting "the next validation or repair step". However, validation checkpoints are only implicit — no explicit validate-then-verify loop with commands — matching the 'steps listed but validation gaps' anchor rather than 4. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, single-purpose, self-contained with no bundle files, and organized into clearly signaled sections (Quick Start, Workflow, Guardrails, Output Expectations) with no nested or buried references. Per the rubric's scoring note, this qualifies for 5. | 5 / 5 |
