66%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 maximally lean and appropriately self-contained for its size, with one executable command. Its weaknesses are the absence of any coherent export workflow — the actual procedure the skill exists for is never spelled out and has no validation checkpoint — and incomplete concrete guidance beyond a single legacy flag.
Suggestions
Spell out the actual export workflow as a numbered sequence, showing how ExportTool (or `tool.py --legacy`) is invoked, what arguments select the records, and where the output lands.
Add a validation step after the export (e.g., verify the JSON output parses and record counts match) since exporting records is a batch operation — this would lift the workflow_clarity cap.
Clarify the relationship between `tool.py --legacy`, ExportTool, and the export task (e.g., which command performs the export vs. produces JSON output) so the concrete guidance is complete rather than fragmentary.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is four short lines — "Keep credentials out of logs.", "Use `python3 tool.py --legacy` for JSON output.", and a one-line maintenance directive — with zero padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows. This matches anchor 5 ('lean and efficient; assumes Claude's competence; every token earns its place'). | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | "Use `python3 tool.py --legacy` for JSON output." is a concrete, executable command, but the core task is left undefined: how ExportTool is actually invoked, which records are selected, and where output goes are all missing, matching anchor 3 ('some concrete guidance but incomplete; missing key details'). It is not anchor 4 because the gaps are not minor — the primary export procedure itself is absent. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The body is three disconnected directives with no coherent sequence; the relationship between `tool.py --legacy`, ExportTool, and the export task is never established, and validation is entirely absent — matching anchor 2 ('rough sequence present but many gaps; steps poorly defined; validation absent'). Exporting records is also a batch operation, so the batch-validation cap of 3 applies regardless. | 2 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, needs no external references (none exist in the bundle), and inlines no content that belongs in a separate file. Per the rubric's simple-skill guideline ('skills under 50 lines with no need for external references can score 5 with just well-organized sections'), a single clear header over three lines navigates trivially. | 5 / 5 |
