85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-structured, actionable internationalization planning skill with a clear layered framework, a sequenced workflow with validation, and a properly separated checklist reference. Its only meaningful weakness is conciseness: several sections restate general knowledge Claude already has.
Suggestions
Trim general-knowledge asides in the Locale-aware UX section that Claude already knows — e.g. 'Most of the world is metric; the US is imperial', 'Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu', and 'Avoid hand gestures in product imagery' — keeping only the actionable rule.
Drop parenthetical tutoring of familiar concepts, such as '(avoids retranslating reused phrases)' for translation memory and 'E.164 international format universally', stating the rule without the explanation.
In Failure patterns, cut restated consequences Claude can infer ('Frustrating.', 'Doesn't adapt.', 'Inconsistent.') and keep just the anti-pattern plus its fix, tightening the section.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly lean and actionable, but it pads several points with general knowledge Claude already has, e.g. 'Most of the world is metric; the US is imperial', 'Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu', 'Avoid hand gestures in product imagery', and the parenthetical '(avoids retranslating reused phrases)' for translation memory. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Concrete executable guidance throughout: a copy-paste hreflang HTML block, specific CSS ('margin-inline-start instead of margin-left'), a URL-pattern comparison table, a 10-step workflow, and an explicit output-format template. Per the scoring note, an instruction-only planning skill is not penalized for lacking runnable code when the guidance is this specific. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly sequenced 10-step workflow with an explicit validation checkpoint (Step 8 Test, a per-locale checklist) and ongoing monitoring (Step 9), plus a dedicated checklist reference for complex processes. Validation steps are present, so the destructive/batch cap does not apply. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a well-organized overview (When to use, 5 layers, Workflow, Failure patterns, Output format) that points to one real, well-signaled one-level-deep reference, references/locale-checklist.md (verified to exist), with content appropriately split rather than inlined. | 3 / 3 |
