93%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, dense instruction skill: it encodes the repo's PR-title conventions as concrete templates and examples with almost no waste. The only weakness is that the special-handling classification, which can override the default package prefix, is presented after the default rule rather than as an upfront decision step.
Suggestions
Move the special-handling classification up so it is evaluated before defaulting to a package-name prefix (e.g., a short 'First, classify the change' step ahead of 'Choose the prefix').
Turn the implicit workflow into an explicit ordered checklist (inspect diff → classify → pick prefix → craft description) so the path through the sections is unmistakable.
State explicitly what to do when a change matches multiple special categories (e.g., tests inside packages/it-tests) to remove the one remaining ambiguity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and prescriptive — every rule and example encodes repo-specific conventions Claude could not infer, with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows. The paragraph contrasting the two examples teaches the naming pattern rather than padding. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable guidance: an exact title template, four reusable title shapes, three complete examples, ordered description guidelines, and a concrete example for every special prefix category. An instruction-only skill with copy-paste-ready outputs covering the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The sequence is mostly clear ('inspect its current title and diff', 'Use these guidelines in order', prefix then description), but the special-handling categories that override the default package prefix appear after 'Choose the prefix', so the classification decision arrives late in the flow. Not a destructive or batch operation, so the validation cap does not apply. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single-purpose skill with well-organized sections (prefix, description, special handling) and no bundle files; nothing warrants external references, so the simple-skill standard for full marks is met. | 5 / 5 |
