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.
The body is a lean, well-sequenced instruction set that respects the token budget and gives concrete directives with an explicit approval checkpoint and clear delegation criteria. Its only notable gap is that document-saving mechanics are deferred to the `paperclip` skill without inline examples or a sample plan structure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~20-line body ("Plan only as much as the work needs... A request for a plan alone does not require child tasks or a new approval gate") delivers non-obvious judgment calls with zero padding and no explanations of concepts Claude already knows — every token earns its place, matching the lean-and-efficient anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete directives such as "Save a requested plan as the issue document with key `plan`. Update its current revision instead of duplicating it, and link the saved document in your response" are mostly executable, but the save mechanics are deferred ("legacy agents follow the `paperclip` skill's document and planning API mechanics") and no sample plan format is shown, leaving minor gaps versus fully copy-paste-ready guidance. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A coherent sequence is present (decide whether to plan, describe contents, save/update the document, approval, execute/delegate) with an explicit checkpoint ("request confirmation of the latest plan revision and wait for that decision"), but the sequence is prose-implicit rather than crisply ordered and there is no guidance for a rejected-plan revision loop, so it sits at anchor 4 rather than 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines with no bundle files and no need for external references; the short paragraphs are logically ordered and cross-references to `paperclip` and `paperclip-converting-plans-to-tasks` are one level deep and clearly signaled, qualifying for the simple-skill exception. | 5 / 5 |
