63%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.
The body delivers a clear, actionable three-mode workflow with concrete tool names, an output template, and error-recovery guidance. Its two real weaknesses are redundancy (Persona and closing Workflow sections duplicate earlier content) and a disclosure scheme that references rules/*.md files missing from the bundle, so the mandated standards are unavailable to the reader.
Suggestions
Include the referenced rules/ files (std-minimal.md, std-read-first.md, std-report.md, _sections.md) in the bundle, or inline their content into SKILL.md, since 'Every fix must comply with rules in the rules/ directory' currently points at files that do not exist.
Delete the Persona section and the closing 'Workflow' section — both restate the opening paragraph and the Mode B steps — to cut roughly 20 lines of duplication.
Strengthen the Mode B Verify step with a concrete checkpoint (e.g., run the specific test class covering the changed file, or re-run the reproduction steps from the bug report) so batch Mode A fixes get real validation rather than a coverage check.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient — tables for mode detection and rules, a compact output template — but the Persona section ("Role: Senior Engineer — surgical bug fixer", "Attitude: Minimal, reads before writing") and the closing "Workflow" section largely restate the opening paragraph and the Mode B steps. Removing those duplicated sections would tighten it without losing information, which fits the 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' anchor rather than anchor 4's minor-trim case. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is largely executable: exact MCP tool names ("mcp__linear__save_comment", "mcp__github__add_issue_comment"), a concrete ".qa/config.yml" check, a copy-ready fix report template, and severity-ordered batching. It falls short of anchor 5 because "Every fix must comply with rules in the `rules/` directory" and "See `rules/_sections.md` for section definitions" point to files that are not present in the bundle, leaving referenced rule content unavailable. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Mode B gives a clearly sequenced Read → Understand → Fix → Verify → Report → Update tracker workflow, and the Troubleshooting section provides error-recovery loops (missing reproduction steps → ask; scope beyond 3 files → flag for review). The Verify checkpoint is somewhat weak — "checking if existing tests cover the fix" rather than running them, and batch Mode A relies on delegated Mode B verification — so it sits at anchor 4 rather than the fully validated anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The in-body structure is good (clear sections, a rules table with per-file impact levels, references clearly signaled one level deep), but all four referenced bundle files ("rules/std-minimal.md", "rules/std-read-first.md", "rules/std-report.md", "rules/_sections.md") are absent from the bundle — there is no rules/ directory at all. The disclosure scheme is well designed on paper but cannot actually be navigated, which is a better fit for anchor 3's 'could be better organized' than anchor 4's appropriately-placed content. | 3 / 5 |
