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.
An exemplary minimal orchestration skill: it reads the right guide first, reuses before writing, and validates with real builds and tests. The only gaps are minor — no build/test command specifics and no stated recovery path when the build or tests fail.
Suggestions
In step 4, name the concrete build/test invocation (or where to find it) so the validation step is executable without consulting another source.
Add a brief failure-handling clause after step 4 (e.g., "if tests fail, re-check the pass against the guide's 'what NOT to do' section") to close the feedback loop.
In step 2, point to where existing transformations live (e.g., the src/common/transformations directory) instead of the bare instruction "Try to find an existing transformation".
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Four lean steps (~130 words) with zero explanation of concepts Claude already knows; the em-dash inventory of what the guide covers is navigation signposting that saves a file load, so every token earns its place. Not 4: there is nothing to trim. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Steps name a specific doc path and the `ov-transformation-tests` skill, but "Try to find an existing transformation" and "build and run them" delegate the how — no search location or build/test command is given in the body. Fits the "mostly executable guidance with minor gaps" anchor; not 5 because the body itself contains no commands for the test/build step. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 4-step sequence (read guide → find existing pass → write → test/build) with an explicit validation checkpoint ("build and run them to ensure the pass compiles and behaves as expected"). Not 5: no feedback loop for what to do when compilation or tests fail; not 3 because the checkpoint is explicit, not implicit. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is exactly the intended overview pattern: a short index that delegates all detail to a single, clearly signaled, one-level-deep reference (writing_transformations.md) with an inventory of its contents, plus a hand-off to a companion skill for tests. No nesting, no inline bloat, easy navigation. | 5 / 5 |
