73%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, genuinely actionable process skill with an explicit verification gate and error-recovery guidance. Its weakness is repetition: the proof-over-prose principle and the six NEVER/WHY pairs restate the steps and mindset sections at length, inflating token cost without adding new instruction.
Suggestions
Cut or merge the "Common Failure Modes to Avoid" section: its six NEVER/WHY pairs restate Mindset, Step 5, and Verification nearly verbatim — keep one condensed NEVER list (or fold each warning into the step it guards).
Trim the porting-notes blockquote to the one operational fact (prefer code-graph MCP tools over raw grep when connected) and drop the cross-editor provenance detail that does not affect execution.
Add one short example of a proof script and its pasted output to Step 5, which would raise actionability from concrete guidance to copy-paste-anchored guidance.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | No tokens are spent teaching Claude things it already knows, but the core "prove the one fact, don't trust a convincing writeup" message is restated across Mindset, "Don't trust your own writeup", Verification, Step 5, "What to hand back", and six NEVER/WHY pairs that largely restate the steps above them; the porting blockquote is also long. Mostly efficient content with genuine instruction throughout, but it could be tightened significantly — below anchor 4, above 2 since there is no concept-explanation filler. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | An instruction-only skill whose guidance is concrete: a five-rung "how sure are you" ladder, an exact multi-agent panel spec (sonnet/high, opus/xhigh, sonnet/max, fable/high with merge rules), a named deliverable format, and case-by-case troubleshooting. Minor gaps keep it below 5 — there is no example proof script or sample writeup to anchor what Step 5's output should look like. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Six clearly sequenced steps with an explicit validation gate ("Before replying, run the same check step 5 already calls for: confirm the one safety fact is either proven... or explicitly marked unproven"), error-recovery feedback in Troubleshooting ("report exactly what happened; it may be the actual answer"), and a deliverable checklist in "What to hand back". This is a review skill, so the destructive/batch cap does not apply. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist, and the single ~135-line file is organized into clear, navigable sections covering distinct phases. Minor gaps: the long porting-notes blockquote and the Common Failure Modes section are inline material that could live in a separate reference file, and at this length it exceeds the under-50-line simple-skill case that would earn a 5 on organization alone. | 4 / 5 |
