77%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 compact, actionable, well-sequenced instruction for a simple read-only task. Its main weakness is the redundant opening line that pads the otherwise lean content.
Suggestions
Drop the first line ("VS Code has a search view, and it can have existing search results") since Claude already knows this; start directly at the action.
Show the exact invocation (e.g., a one-line example of calling `copilot_runVscodeCommand` with the command and `skipCheck: true`) to make guidance copy-paste ready.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Step 1 ("VS Code has a search view, and it can have existing search results") explains context Claude already knows and is unnecessary padding, leaving the otherwise efficient body mostly-but-not-fully tight. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Gives the concrete command `search.action.getSearchResults`, the `copilot_runVscodeCommand` tool, and the exact `skipCheck` argument, but does not show a copy-paste-ready invocation form, leaving a minor gap. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear, ordered three-step sequence for a simple read-only retrieval; the simple-skill exception applies and no validation checkpoint is needed for a non-destructive get operation. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Under 50 lines, no external references needed, and organized as a titled section with a numbered list, satisfying the guideline that short self-contained skills can score 5 with just good organization. | 5 / 5 |
