85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is a well-structured, actionable DR planning framework with clear sequencing, validation feedback loops, and a properly signaled one-level reference. Its only weakness is mild verbosity from motivational aphorisms and re-derived definitions that assume less than Claude's competence.
Suggestions
Trim aphoristic filler ('Backups that aren't drilled drift toward useless', 'The runbook is for the worst night of someone's career') to tighten conciseness.
Reduce the basic definitional prose for RPO and RTO to one line each; assume Claude knows the terms and keep only the skill's thresholds/mappings.
Consider moving 'Special topics' detail (PITR, object-store settings) into a reference file to slim the main body further.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient for a complex domain skill, but includes motivational aphorisms ('Backups that aren't drilled drift toward useless', 'The runbook is for the worst night of someone's career') and re-derives basic definitions of RPO/RTO that could be trimmed. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Gives concrete, executable guidance: tiering scheme, RPO/RTO-to-architecture mappings, the 3-2-1 rule, an inventory table spec, and a fillable restore-runbook template reference. For an instruction-only planning skill this is copy-ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly sequenced 7-step workflow with validation checkpoints and a feedback loop: drill, measure actual RPO/RTO against targets ('If the actual RTO was 6 hours when the target was 1 hour, the target is fiction'), document breaks, action items, and re-schedule. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | SKILL.md is a well-organized overview with a single clearly signaled, one-level-deep reference (references/restore-runbook-template.md, verified to exist) linked from a dedicated 'Reference files' section. | 3 / 3 |
