90%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 instruction-only skill body: a tightly written, concrete 9-step workflow with exact output formats, explicit non-goals, and a verification checklist that gates issue closure. The only structural weaknesses are the absence of an explicit error-recovery loop for the batch write, and a length just past the threshold where the rubric would award full progressive-disclosure credit without bundle files.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and fully operational: every section (Inputs, Workflow, NOT-do, Voice, Verification, Tools) issues instructions rather than explaining concepts Claude already knows, and the one framing sentence ("the index is the maintainer's first stop for navigation") earns its place by stating the goal. It matches the 'every token earns its place' anchor; not the 4 anchor, which requires trimmable over-explanation — none is evident. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is fully executable for an instruction-only skill: exact entry format (`- [[<path>]] — <one-line summary>`), exact log-entry templates with field placeholders, concrete paths (`wiki/projects/<slug>/standup.md`, `wiki/log.md`), explicit skip rules, and named tools with their allowed write targets. This matches the 5 anchor ('copy-paste ready... specific examples cover the common cases'); the 4 anchor's 'minor gaps' do not apply. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 9-step workflow is clearly sequenced (read index, walk by category, scan the last ~50 log entries, produce sorted entries, drop dead entries, add missing ones, write editorially, preserve custom categories, append counts) and closes with an explicit pre-close Verification checklist covering the batch-write risks (dangling entries, modified page bodies). It falls short of the 5 anchor because there is no explicit validate→fix→retry feedback loop for this batch file-writing operation — the checklist gates closing the issue but does not tell the agent what to do when a check fails. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are absent), and the ~60-line body is appropriately self-contained with well-labeled sections — the rubric's 5-without-references exception is reserved for skills under 50 lines, which this slightly exceeds, so the 4 anchor ('good structure; most content appropriately placed; minor organization gaps') is the best fit. It is clearly above the 3 anchor: nothing that belongs in a separate file is inlined. | 4 / 5 |
