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 well-structured skill body: opinionated, concrete, sequenced guidance with an explicit checklist, validation tests, and a clean overview-to-references split that checks out against the actual bundle. The main improvement opportunity is trimming the intro/closing frame, which duplicates the description and keystone definitions, and inlining one or two executable instrumentation examples.
Suggestions
Trim the opening paragraphs (which restate the frontmatter description) and the closing section (which re-summarizes the keystone patterns nearly verbatim); consolidating each into 1-2 sentences would tighten the body without losing substance.
Inline one concrete drop-off instrumentation example — e.g., an event-naming convention or a small per-step funnel table (step start / completion / abandonment) — so the measurement guidance is immediately executable rather than fully deferred to references.
Reduce the repetition of the keystone mantra ('each step earns the user one step closer to value'), which currently appears in the intro, the keystone section, the 12-consideration framework, and the closing; stating it once in the keystone section and referencing it elsewhere would cut padding.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The guidance sections are dense and lean — short declarative bullets, no filler, no explanation of concepts Claude already knows (the pattern definitions are skill-specific coinage, not generic knowledge). What keeps it below anchor 5: the opening four paragraphs largely restate the frontmatter description, the closing section re-summarizes the keystone framing almost verbatim, and the phrase "each step earns the user one step closer to value" repeats in the intro, keystone section, framework, and closing. This matches 'Efficient; minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed' rather than anchor 3's 'some unnecessary explanation', since the padding is confined to the frame, not the substance. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | The body is an instruction-only skill and its guidance is concrete: named step patterns with behaviors ("Skip-with-warning. 'Skipping setup will limit your experience to X. Continue?'"), a litmus test for classifying a wizard, a diagnostic table of failure modes with cures ("'Skip rate is over 50 percent.' Either the wizard is not earning its time or skip is too prominent. Audit both."), and remediation mappings per drop-off pattern. It falls just short of anchor 5 because some guidance defers the executable detail entirely to references (e.g., per-step instrumentation has no inline example like an event-naming scheme or funnel table), leaving minor gaps in copy-paste-ready specificity. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The workflow is explicit and ordered: the wizard-decision section gates everything ("Before designing the wizard, decide whether a wizard is the right tool"), design sections follow a logical build order, and the 12-consideration framework is an explicit numbered checklist ending with instrumentation (#8) and a quarterly maintenance audit (#12). Validation checkpoints are present — the litmus test ("Did they reach a moment where the product visibly demonstrated value within their first session?"), the step coherence test, and drop-off instrumentation driving remediation form a measure→fix feedback loop, and the closing prescribes "If no to either, redesign." This matches anchor 5 (explicit validation steps, feedback loops, checklists for complex processes). | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a true overview: each major section ends with a "Detail in [`references/<file>.md`]" pointer, and a consolidated reference list at the bottom names all nine files with one-line purposes. All nine referenced files exist on disk and are flat (one level deep) with no nested pointer chains. This matches anchor 5 — clear overview, well-signaled one-level-deep references, content appropriately split between overview and detail files. | 5 / 5 |
