85%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 strong, mature skill body: an explicit validated workflow, copy-paste commands, and a principled split of generic methodology from provider-specific detail into well-signaled references. The main weakness is token efficiency — the delete-danger and evidence-citation rules are each stated three times, and the conceptual Principle section could be condensed by roughly half without losing guidance value.
Suggestions
State the 'a preview delete destroys real infrastructure' warning once (e.g., in the delete subsection) and reference it from the Hard Rules and final-preview gate instead of repeating the full explanation in three places.
Consolidate the evidence-citation requirement into a single rule (e.g., within 'After categorizing') and have the Category B bullet and the Upgrade Summary template point to it rather than restating it.
Compress 'The Principle' section to its actionable core — the translation framing and the 'zero diff = correct translation' invariant — cutting the layered restatement and the engine-explainer paragraph that Pulumi-experienced readers don't need.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient and skill-specific (no generic Pulumi tutorials), but includes unnecessary repetition: the warning that a preview `delete` destroys real infrastructure appears in three places (the delete subsection, the "No delete or replace in the final preview" rule, and the Category A guidance), the evidence-citation requirement is stated three times (Category B, the Evidence requirement, and the Upgrade Summary), and the ~25-line "The Principle" section restates the state-vs-code comparison twice. This fits 'mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation or could be tightened' better than the score-4 anchor's 'minor instances'. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is fully executable: exact preview flags (`pulumi preview --refresh --run-program`), per-language dependency bump commands, `pulumi state delete '<urn>'` / `pulumi import` recovery steps, a runnable TypeScript import example, and a fill-in-the-blank Upgrade Summary template. The one placeholder ("import ID format varies by resource type") is explicitly flagged rather than hidden, and the common cases (bump, preview, categorize, fix, summarize) are all covered with copy-paste commands. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The core loop is explicit (flowchart plus numbered steps) with a mandatory validation checkpoint after every preview, a completeness check for uncategorized resources, an explicit ordering rule (fix Category A before investigating B), feedback loops for error recovery ("New or different errors -> progress... Same error persists -> your fix didn't work"), and a hard gate that no delete/replace may remain before PR creation. Despite involving destructive operations, validation is pervasive — the strongest anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The SKILL.md body carries the general methodology while provider-specific and tool-specific detail is correctly split into two real, one-level-deep reference files (both verified to exist). Each reference is well signaled with a read-when condition: step 1a routes to `references/gcp-v10.md` only for that provider/major, Category B routes to `references/diagnostic-toolbox.md`, and a closing References section summarizes both with their triggers. This matches 'clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references; content appropriately split'. | 5 / 5 |
