90%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.
Excellent procedural content: concrete file paths, a complete code template, explicit build/verify commands, and zero educational padding. The two gaps keeping it from the top are the absence of a failure-recovery loop after the verification commands and the docs-update walkthrough being fully inlined rather than split into a reference file.
Suggestions
Add a short feedback loop after the step-7 checks, e.g., "If check-option-docs fails, fix the option definition (not the generated MDX) and re-run" — this would close the error-recovery gap in workflow clarity.
Consider moving the per-package docs-update walkthrough (CLI command pages, help metadata, API pages, config.mdx) into a references/docs-update.md file and linking to it from step 6 to slim the main body.
Clarify the ../studio-config-option-lifecycle/SKILL.md reference so its location relative to the skill bundle is unambiguous when the bundle is installed standalone.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence: no concepts are explained, every section delivers project-specific facts (file paths, type signatures, commands), and comments in the code template carry non-obvious information ("module-level default state", "defaults are resolved in getValue"). There is negligible padding, so it fits the 'lean and efficient; every token earns its place' anchor rather than anchor 4's 'minor instances of over-explanation'. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is fully executable: a complete `satisfies AnyRemotionOption<boolean>` template with the real import path, exact file targets (`packages/renderer/src/options/<name>.tsx`, `parsed-cli.ts`, `print-help.ts`, `config/index.ts`), exact type signatures (`[myFlagOption.cliFlag]: TypeOfOption<typeof myFlagOption>`), and runnable build/verify commands (`bun run generate-option-docs`, `bun run check-option-docs`). Not below anchor 5 since the common boolean case is copy-paste ready and edge cases (negating flags, non-boolean types, SSR names) are addressed. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The seven numbered steps are clearly sequenced with an explicit verification checkpoint ("Build and verify" with `check-option-docs` and verifying the generated `/docs/options/<id>` page), matching anchor 4. It is not anchor 5 because there is no error-recovery feedback loop — nothing tells Claude what to do when `check-option-docs` or the page verification fails; it is not anchor 3 because validation checkpoints are explicitly present, not merely implicit. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The single-file body is well organized: numbered sections, inline code kept to one template, a closing "Reference files" list of real codebase paths, and a clearly gated one-level-deep cross-reference ("If the option is consumed by Studio, read ../studio-config-option-lifecycle/SKILL.md completely before wiring it"). It sits between anchors 4 and 5 rather than clearly at 5: the body is ~130 lines (above the under-50-line simple-skill case) and the dense step-6 docs walkthrough across cli/lambda/cloudrun pages is content that could arguably live in a reference file; the sibling-skill path is also unverifiable within this bundle. | 4 / 5 |
