92%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 an exemplary lean instruction: two precise, immediately actionable rules with no wasted tokens. Its only gap is the absence of a short example commit message showing the expected format in practice.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | A single sentence — "Write commit messages in the imperative mood and keep the subject under 50 characters" — with zero padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows (e.g. what imperative mood is). Every token earns its place, matching the 'lean and efficient' anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Two concrete, executable rules (imperative mood; subject under 50 characters) give directly actionable instruction-only guidance with only a minor gap: no example commit message illustrating the expected format. Not 5 because anchor 5 requires examples that cover the common cases. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | This is a simple, single-purpose skill (one line, single task) and the single action is unambiguous; per the rubric's simple-skill exception, workflow clarity scores 5 without a multi-step workflow. Commit-message writing is not a destructive or batch operation, so the validation cap does not apply. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, needs no external references, and no bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are absent), which is consistent with its one-sentence scope. Per the rubric's simple-skill guidance, this scores 5. | 5 / 5 |
