67%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 instructional core is excellent — decision guidance is unambiguous and the YAML examples are executable and well-chosen — but the skill monolithically inlines a large JSON schema reference that inflates the always-loaded context and duplicates the annotated example. Moving the schema to a references/ file and adding a validation step would make this a strong skill.
Suggestions
Move the full JSON schema ("Reference documentation" section) to references/explore-schema.md and link to it, keeping only 2-3 key snippets inline; this fixes both the progressive-disclosure and token-bloat problems.
Add a verification step to the workflow, e.g. "After editing, run `rill start` and confirm the explore dashboard reconciles and renders with the expected dimensions and measures".
Trim duplicated property commentary (banner, defaults, time_ranges, security are explained both in the annotated example and again in the schema) so each fact appears once.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The prose sections are lean and Rill-specific (inline-vs-standalone rules, legacy auto-emit behavior) — genuinely non-obvious information. But the ~140-line inline JSON schema duplicates much of what the annotated example already explains (banner, defaults, time_ranges, security all appear twice), which is unnecessary padding that could be trimmed. This is "mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation or could be tightened", anchor 3, not anchor 4's "minor instances". | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Three copy-paste-ready YAML examples (inline explore, fully annotated stand-alone, minimal stand-alone) cover the common cases, and the guidance includes concrete decision rules like "do NOT create a stand-alone type: explore file... edit the explore: block in the metrics view file" and exact field-selector syntax ('*', a list, or {exclude: [...]}). Fully executable and specific — anchor 5, and clearly not anchor 4 since no key details are missing for the common paths. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The decision sequence is clear and well-ordered: check for an existing inline explore first, edit the explore: block if present, only create a stand-alone file when multiple explores are needed or the user asks. However there is no validation checkpoint (e.g., verifying the dashboard reconciles or renders), which keeps it at anchor 4 ("most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps") rather than 5. The skill is not destructive/batch, so the workflow-clarity cap of 3 does not apply. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The "Reference documentation" section inlines ~140 lines of raw JSON schema that clearly belongs in a separate reference file — this is precisely anchor 2's "content that clearly belongs in separate files is inlined" (the anchor example is an inlined API reference). No bundle files exist (no references/, scripts/, or assets/ directories), so the schema cannot be reached on demand; it cannot score 3, which would require a present, if poorly signaled, reference structure. | 2 / 5 |
