86%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 well-crafted strategy skill body: concrete, opinionated guidance with real templates properly split into references and a clear sequenced workflow. The main improvements are removing repetition between the framework sections and Failure patterns, and adding explicit verification checkpoints to the later workflow steps.
Suggestions
Trim restated guidance in Failure patterns that duplicates the framework sections (e.g., pillar-count limits already stated in layer 2), keeping only failure modes not already covered.
Add an explicit verification checkpoint to later workflow steps, e.g., after building the calendar validate it against stated production capacity (the "Strategy without capacity" failure), and re-check the pillar set against the selection criteria before documenting.
Consider moving the detailed format dimensions (length/depth/type/originality lists) into the strategy template reference to tighten the overview further.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly lean, domain-specific heuristics Claude does not already know (pillar counts, cadence bands, length bands, selection criteria), but framework guidance is restated in the Failure patterns section — e.g., "3 to 5 pillars is the sweet spot… More than 5 dilutes focus" repeats "Too many pillars. 7 pillars dilute the brand." This is anchor 4 (efficient, minor trimming possible) rather than 5 because of that duplicated guidance and a few compactable explanatory sentences. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | For an instruction-only skill the guidance is fully actionable: a fill-in positioning sentence ("We help [audience] [achieve outcome] by publishing [content type]…"), numeric specifications throughout (3-5 pillars, 5-15 sub-topics, cadence bands, 6-12 month review cycles), an 8-step workflow, a concrete output document structure with calendar columns, and two real templates in references/. Specific examples cover the common cases, matching anchor 5. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 8-step workflow is clearly sequenced with early checkpoints — step 1 gates on missing inputs ("If any are missing, surface that first") and step 2 includes a positioning stress-test — plus a data-gap protocol and a failure-patterns checklist. It sits at anchor 4 rather than 5 because later steps (calendar, governance, operationalize) lack explicit verification checkpoints or re-validate loops after drafting. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a well-organized overview and both referenced bundle files (content-strategy-template.md and editorial-calendar-template.md, verified to exist as substantial templates) are one level deep, clearly signaled both in workflow step 7 and in a dedicated Reference files section. Content is appropriately split and navigation is easy, matching anchor 5. | 5 / 5 |
