92%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 lean, well-structured routing skill: it installs behavioral rules, gives precise calling and error/truncation conventions, and delegates all command specifics to two well-signaled reference files. The only notable gap is the absence of any inline example invocation, which keeps actionability just short of copy-paste-ready.
Suggestions
Add one copy-paste-ready example of a positronCommand invocation (a minimal id plus positional args, and one with args omitted) so the calling convention can be executed without opening a reference file first.
Name the one or two most common command ids inline (e.g., positronSettings.getConfiguredSettings) so the most frequent question is answerable directly from the body.
Include a tiny example of a truncated payload (the top-level truncated object with field/returned/total) so the narrowing steps are directly executable rather than inferable.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every section carries non-obvious operational knowledge Claude cannot already know: the two framing rules (live state, never deflect), calling conventions ('passing the command's literal id exactly as written... Omit args entirely when using none'), failure modes ('not-found', the unexpected 'disabled'), and precise truncation semantics ('truncated.field names the list that was cut... you received truncated.returned of truncated.total'). Nothing explains what Positron or settings are, and no section is padded, matching the 'every token earns its place' anchor; the 4 anchor's minor over-explanation instances are absent. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is precise and executable in mechanics — tool name ('Invoke commands with the positronCommand tool'), literal id copying, positional args, and concrete truncation handling ('narrow the request (a filter, a limit, explicit keys)') — but the body contains no actual command id or example invocation to copy; all concrete ids live only in the reference files. This fits 'mostly executable guidance with minor gaps' rather than the 5 anchor's copy-paste-ready examples, while clearly exceeding the 3 anchor's missing key details. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | For this simple read-only query skill, the single action is unambiguous and failure/recovery paths are explicit feedback loops: 'not-found' handling ('Report this plainly; do not substitute a similarly named id') and truncation recovery ('Say how many entries are missing... narrow the request (a filter, a limit, explicit keys) to get the rest'). Per the rubric's simple-skill allowance, an unambiguous single action plus explicit error-recovery loops merits 5; no destructive or batch operations exist to require validation checkpoints. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a concise overview routing to two real, one-level-deep reference files, each with an explicit 'Read when' trigger ('Read when the user asks which settings they have configured...' / 'Read when the user asks which AI model providers they have set up...'). Both referenced files exist (references/configuration.md and references/providers.md), are appropriately split by topic, and contain the command details rather than further indirection — matching the 'clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references' anchor. | 5 / 5 |
