93%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 tight, expert-level review lens: no padding, concrete inline examples, an explicit project-rule lookup step, and clear include/exclude thresholds. The single gap is workflow clarity — the method could be an explicit numbered sequence with a verify-before-report checkpoint.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~37-line body is lean and assumes Claude's competence — it names SemVer and Hyrum's Law without tutorializing them, and every section (Scope, Method, Threshold, Reporting) carries unique operational weight, matching the 'every token earns its place' anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance throughout: a precise classification scheme ('additive, which is safe, or subtractive or mutative, which breaks'), inline examples ('{ error: string }' alongside '{ errors: [{ message }] }', 'string' to 'string | null'), and a specific instruction to read the 'AGENTS.md' or 'CLAUDE.md' chain governing the changed files. As an instruction-only skill with fully actionable guidance, it meets the top anchor; absence of code is not penalized. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Scope → Method → Threshold → Reporting structure gives a clear logical sequence, and the Threshold section gates what gets reported. However, the method is not laid out as an explicit ordered sequence and there is no verify-finding checkpoint before reporting, fitting anchor 4 (clear sequence, most checkpoints) rather than 5 (explicit validation steps with feedback loops). | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, self-contained with no bundle files, and organized into well-labeled sections; per the simple-skill guidance this matches the top anchor even without external references. | 5 / 5 |
