75%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 router skill body: lean, sectioned, with concrete executable commands, a clear routing sequence, and a name-resolution checkpoint. Main gaps are triplicated chat-phrase lists, unexplained secondary commands with no output-validation step, and a bare References list whose `../../` paths point outside the bundle and are unannotated.
Suggestions
Collapse the duplication: the chat phrases appear in the frontmatter description, Start Here step 3, and again in 'Chat Requests To Recognize' — keep one routing table and delete the redundant list (conciseness).
Annotate each reference with what it covers and when to read it (e.g. '**Routing workflows**: see chat-first-workflows.md'), and move the referenced files inside the skill bundle or use paths that resolve from SKILL.md (progressive_disclosure).
Briefly state what measurement-plan/init-benchmark/benchmark expect and add a quick success check after `plugin-eval analyze` before initializing the benchmark (actionability, workflow_clarity).
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean (~75 lines) with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, but the same chat phrases appear three times (frontmatter, Start Here step 3, and again verbatim in "Chat Requests To Recognize"), and "Matching Commands" repeats commands already shown in Start Here. Not a 5 due to these redundant duplicate lists; not a 3 because there is no padding or over-explanation — the duplication is lists, not prose. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Gives concrete runnable commands with full flags (e.g. `plugin-eval start <path> --request "<user request>" --format markdown`) plus a concrete name-resolution procedure (check `~/.codex/skills/<skill-name>`, then repo-local `skills/<skill-name>`). Not a 5: commands use unresolved `<path>`/`<user request>` placeholders and several commands (measurement-plan, init-benchmark, benchmark) get no explanation of their inputs or outputs; not a 3 because most guidance is directly executable. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | "Start Here" is a coherent numbered routing sequence (resolve target type → route via the router → map natural requests → hand off rewrite/custom-rubric requests → resolve named skills → fuller analysis path) with an explicit checkpoint: "if the name is still ambiguous, ask one short clarifying question before continuing". Not a 5: no validation of command success/output before proceeding (e.g. no check that analyze succeeded before init-benchmark); not a 3: the sequence and checkpoint are clearly present. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Short, well-sectioned overview with three references listed one level deep — appropriate structure. Not a 5: the References section is a bare list giving no signal of what each file covers, and the paths (`../../references/chat-first-workflows.md` etc.) escape the skill directory — none of the referenced files exist in this bundle, so they cannot be verified. Not a 3: the split between overview routing and reference detail is correct and navigation is easy. | 4 / 5 |
