41%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 is maximally lean but substantively empty: a single directive that references "user-only snapshot instructions" which appear nowhere in the body or in any bundle file. There is no actionable guidance, no workflow, and nothing for Claude to actually execute, making this a placeholder rather than usable skill content.
Suggestions
Replace the dangling directive with the actual snapshot instructions, stated concretely (what to check, which files or commands to run, what result confirms the skill is excluded from the model catalog).
If the instructions are too long for SKILL.md, put them in a real file (e.g. references/instructions.md) and link to it explicitly so the reference resolves.
Add a verification step (e.g. check the skill does not appear in the model's catalog listing) so the skill's stated purpose — proving exclusion — has an executable workflow with a pass/fail checkpoint.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is a single seven-word sentence with zero padding, zero explanation of concepts Claude already knows, and no wasted tokens — every token present is all there is, matching the lean anchor. It is not scored lower because the emptiness of the instruction is an actionability failure, not a verbosity failure; the conciseness dimension penalizes over-explanation, of which there is none. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | "Follow these user-only snapshot instructions" provides no concrete code, commands, or specifics, and the referenced "instructions" do not exist anywhere in the body or bundle (no references/, scripts/, or assets/ files are present), matching anchor 1's "entirely vague or abstract; only describes rather than instructs". It cannot be a 2 because there is not even a high-level hint of an executable step — the sole directive points at nothing. | 1 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | No steps or sequence exist at all — the body is one dangling directive with no instructions to follow, matching anchor 1's "steps missing or incoherent; no sequence". The simple-skill exception (a single unambiguous action can score 5) does not apply because the single action is ambiguous: "these user-only snapshot instructions" are not present in the skill or any bundle file; there is no rough sequence that would justify a 2. | 1 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a sub-50-line skill with no external references, the trivial one-line body has no inlined bulk content, no nested references, and no monolithic wall of text, so structurally nothing is misplaced — consistent with a good-structure score. It is not a 5 because the phrase "these user-only snapshot instructions" acts as an unclear pointer to content that lives nowhere, leaving navigation to the skill's actual substance broken; it is not a 3 because there is no substantial inline content that should have been split out. | 4 / 5 |
