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 strong, highly actionable instruction set: concrete commands, exact file-naming conventions, good and bad entry examples, and a built-in verification step. Its only weaknesses are mild redundancy in the filename-type listing and slightly heavy example prose in rule 7.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is efficient overall — a copy-paste git command, terse format rules, and a compact example — but the per-type filename bullet list is largely redundant with the "Allowed types" line, and rule 7's Good/Bad example block is heavier than needed. These are minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed, matching anchor 4 rather than the lean anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is fully executable: a copy-paste-ready `git log main..HEAD --oneline` command, an exact `{PR_NUMBER}.{type}.md` naming scheme with the multi-entry suffix convention, explicit entry-format rules (single leading `- ` line, indented detail lines, ⚠️ prefix), and concrete example files. Not anchor 4's "minor gaps" — the common cases are completely specified. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 1–8 form a clear numbered sequence (skip criteria → inspect commits → write entries → review) with an explicit validate-and-fix loop in step 8 ("run /prose-review changelog/ and fix anything it flags"), satisfying the batch-operation validation requirement. Minor gaps — no handling for a missing changelog/ directory and no description of re-checking after fixes — keep it below anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | This is a simple, single-purpose skill with no bundle files, and everything is appropriately inlined in one well-organized file with clear ## Instructions and ## Example sections. There is no content that belongs in a separate reference and no nested referencing, fitting the simple-skill case of a clear, well-organized single file. | 5 / 5 |
