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.
The body is exceptionally lean and delegates detail appropriately to a single clearly-signaled, one-level-deep reference with a robust fallback for external installs. Its gaps are the absence of any executable example of `create_case` or its REST equivalent and the lack of an explicit validation checkpoint for the kickoff state.
Suggestions
Include a minimal example invocation of `create_case` (or its documented REST equivalent) so the core action is executable before the reader opens the reference guide.
Add an explicit verification step, e.g. 'Confirm the kickoff state is accepted before returning links; if not, re-check the case configuration.'
Briefly summarize what the referenced cases.md guide covers (e.g., required case fields or kickoff states) so the skill degrades gracefully if the external repository is unavailable.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~13-line body is lean with no padding: every sentence instructs ('Read the case instructions before acting', 'Return the case and primary task links, together with the accepted kickoff state') and nothing explains concepts Claude already knows. Fully matches the 'every token earns its place' anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance names the exact mechanism ('native `create_case` or its documented REST equivalent') and concrete deliverables ('a Mermaid `stateDiagram-v2` map and prose explaining the transitions'), but no example invocation, parameters, or REST call appears — execution mechanics are entirely deferred to an external file, leaving key details missing. Below 4 because the body contains no executable command or code at all; above 2 because the tool, deliverables, and outputs are specifically named. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear sequence is present (read the guide → create and kick off the case → include the Mermaid workflow document → return links and accepted kickoff state), with 'the accepted kickoff state' acting as an implicit end-state checkpoint. Below 5 because there is no explicit validate-and-recover loop (e.g., what to do if the state is not accepted); above 3 because the sequence is unambiguous and this is not a destructive or batch operation requiring a validation cap. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The single reference is one level deep and clearly signaled, with a documented fallback ('If this skill is installed outside the checkout, locate the Paperclip repository and read `skills/paperclip/references/cases.md` there'). Scored against the actual bundle structure — no references/, scripts/, or assets/ exist — the reference lives outside the skill's own directory, a minor organization gap; below 5 for that external dependency, above 3 because navigation is easy and not buried or chained. | 4 / 5 |
