65%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 maximally lean delegation stub: one clearly signaled instruction pointing at an external shared-skill file. Conciseness is exemplary, but actionability, workflow, and structure all hinge entirely on a machine-specific path that is not part of the skill bundle and does not resolve in this environment, leaving the skill with no standalone guidance for its stated task.
Suggestions
Inline a minimal fallback workflow for creating a commit in the project's style (e.g., inspect recent git log for conventions, stage changes, write the message, commit) so the skill remains actionable when the shared skill is absent.
Replace or augment the machine-specific absolute path with a bundle-relative reference, and instruct the agent to verify the shared skill exists before deferring to it.
Add a brief inline overview of what the shared skill covers (e.g., a short summary of the commit style rules) so the SKILL.md body carries some standalone context.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is two lines — "Load and follow the shared skill at `~/.agents/skills/git-commit/SKILL.md`." plus a small generator comment — with no padding, no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, and nothing that could be trimmed without losing function. This matches anchor 5 (lean and efficient; every token earns its place). | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | "Load and follow the shared skill at `~/.agents/skills/git-commit/SKILL.md`" is a concrete instruction with an exact path, but every piece of task-specific guidance (how to inspect the project's commit style, stage, and create the commit) is deferred to an external file that is not part of the bundle and does not resolve in this environment. Anchor 3 fits (concrete but incomplete, key details missing); not 4 because the gap is the entire skill content rather than a minor one, not 2 because the single instruction is specific and executable in form. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The single redirect action ("Load and follow the shared skill") is unambiguous, but no workflow for the actual task — sequencing, commit-message construction, or validation before committing — appears anywhere in the body, and the redirect target is unresolvable here so following the instruction dead-ends. Fits anchor 3 (sequence/checkpoints missing) rather than 5 under the simple-skill exception, because the single written action does not itself accomplish or scaffold the skill's stated task. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The one reference ("~/.agents/skills/git-commit/SKILL.md") is clearly signaled and one level deep, but it points outside the skill bundle via a machine-specific absolute path — no references/, scripts/, or assets/ directories exist in the skill, the comment's "scripts/agent-harnesses.py" is a dangling reference, and no inline overview is provided. Anchor 3 fits (some structure, better organization needed); not 4 because an unresolvable external pointer plus zero inline overview is more than a minor organization gap. | 3 / 5 |
