65%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is admirably lean and well-organized into clear phases with concrete extraction and clarification prompts, but its actionability and progressive disclosure are undercut by deferring the actual agent template to an unbundled external file without clear navigation. Validation checkpoints in the iteration loop are also implicit rather than explicit.
Suggestions
Surface the .agent.md template structure inline or as a bundled, clearly-linked reference file so the skill is self-contained and actionable.
Add an explicit validation step in the Iterate loop (e.g. re-read the saved .agent.md and confirm it has name, description, tools, and trigger criteria before finalizing).
Convert external references to proper markdown links and verify the referenced files exist in the bundle so navigation is unambiguous.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is ~25 lines with no padding and no explanations of concepts Claude already knows; it assumes competence and every line ('Guide the user to create an `.agent.md`', the bullet extraction targets) earns its place, matching the 'lean and efficient' anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | It gives concrete extraction targets (role/persona, tool preferences, domain scope) and specific clarifying questions, but the actual .agent.md format/template is fully deferred to the external 'agents.md', so Claude cannot produce the artifact from this skill alone — 'some concrete guidance but incomplete.' | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The Extract → Clarify → Iterate phases are clearly sequenced with numbered iteration steps and a soft feedback loop ('Identify the most ambiguous or weak parts and ask about those'), but there is no explicit validation checkpoint confirming the drafted agent is well-formed or effective, leaving it at the 'sequence present but checkpoints implicit' level. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body references external material ('Load and follow **agents.md**', 'Related skill: `agent-customization`') at one level of depth, but these are not clearly signaled as file links (no markdown link syntax) and no bundle files are actually present under references/scripts/assets to back them, fitting 'references present but not clearly signaled.' | 2 / 3 |
