7%Scale 1-3Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill provides no actionable, specific, or novel guidance. It is entirely composed of generic motivational instructions ('take your time', 'be thorough') and vague capability descriptions that Claude already understands. There is nothing concrete — no tools, no commands, no code, no specific workflows — that would change Claude's behavior in any meaningful way.
Suggestions
Define what 'long-running' actually means in practice: specific tool usage patterns, checkpointing strategies, how to handle context limits, or how to break large tasks into sub-tasks with concrete examples.
Replace vague instructions like 'Be Thorough' and 'Iterate' with concrete, executable workflows — e.g., a step-by-step process for codebase analysis with specific commands to run and validation checkpoints.
Add at least one complete, copy-paste-ready example showing the agent's expected input and output for a specific use case, rather than listing abstract use cases.
Remove all generic advice that Claude already knows (quality over speed, document everything, communicate progress) and focus only on novel, task-specific guidance.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with vague, generic advice that Claude already knows ('Take Your Time', 'Be Thorough', 'Document Everything'). The capabilities list, instructions, and example use cases are all generic platitudes that add no specific knowledge or actionable guidance. Nearly every token is wasted. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There are no concrete commands, executable code, specific tools, APIs, or precise instructions. Everything is abstract direction like 'Deep dive into codebases' and 'Continuously improve and refine your work' — none of which tells Claude what to actually do differently. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The numbered 'Instructions' are not a workflow — they are vague behavioral guidelines ('Take Your Time', 'Iterate') with no sequencing, no validation checkpoints, and no concrete steps for any task. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is organized with clear section headers and is not a wall of text, but there are no references to external files and the content is short enough that progressive disclosure isn't really needed. The structure is adequate but the content itself is too thin to benefit from it. | 2 / 3 |
