86%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 tight, command-dense workflow document with explicit validation and state-preservation guardrails, appropriate for a self-contained skill with no bundle files. Minor improvements possible: specify the actual test command and add an explicit fix-and-revalidate loop.
Suggestions
In the Validate step, name the concrete test invocation (e.g. `go test ./...` or `go test <touched-package>/...`) instead of the generic 'Run targeted tests for touched Go packages'.
Add an explicit feedback loop after validation: if gofmt or tests fail, fix the issue and re-run before proceeding.
Optionally note in step 1 what to do when no tags exist at all (first release), since the current guidance only covers inferring a previous tag.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~70-line body is lean and imperative with zero concept padding — every line instructs an action, and concrete git/gofmt commands are given inline without explaining what git or changelogs are. Every token earns its place. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Mostly executable guidance: copy-paste-ready commands such as `git tag --list 'v*' --sort=-version:refname`, `git log --oneline <base>..HEAD`, `git shortlog -sne <base>..HEAD`, plus concrete file globs in Search Hints. The gap keeping it below the top anchor is that 'Run targeted tests for touched Go packages' gives no actual command. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 5-step sequence culminating in a dedicated Validate step (gofmt, targeted tests, diff/status review) with an explicit guardrail ('Preserve the user's staged and unstaged state'). It falls short of the top anchor because there is no explicit error-recovery loop for validation failures (fix and re-run). | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist and none are needed: the short body contains only workflow-level guidance that belongs in SKILL.md, organized under clear Workflow / Search Hints / Final Response sections with no inline bloat and no nested references. | 5 / 5 |
