45%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 and appropriately self-contained (no external files needed or present), but it contains no actionable guidance and no workflow whatsoever — it is a content-free placeholder. It scores at the bottom on actionability and workflow clarity while earning full marks on conciseness and progressive disclosure simply because there is almost nothing to evaluate.
Suggestions
Add at least one concrete, executable instruction (specific command, code snippet, or step-by-step guidance) so the skill tells Claude what to actually do.
If the skill involves any multi-step or risky process, sequence the steps explicitly and include a validation/verification checkpoint.
Describe the skill's purpose and expected inputs/outputs in the body so the guidance is actionable rather than a bare label.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is a single heading ("# My Skill") plus one sentence ("This is a test skill.") with zero padding, no concept explanations, and nothing that could be trimmed. It matches anchor 5 ("Lean and efficient; every token earns its place"); anchor 4 would require some over-explanation to cut, and there is none. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | The body provides no code, no commands, and no steps — it only describes ("This is a test skill.") rather than instructs. This matches anchor 1 ("Entirely vague or abstract; no concrete code or commands; only describes rather than instructs"); even anchor 2 expects at least high-level directional hints. | 1 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | There is no sequence, no steps, and no single unambiguous action to follow, so the simple-skill exception (score 5 for a clear single action) does not apply — there is no action at all. This matches anchor 1 ("Steps missing or incoherent; no sequence"); no destructive/batch operation exists, so the validation cap is not the binding constraint. | 1 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is under 50 lines, no bundle files exist (no references/, scripts/, or assets/ directories), and nothing needs to be split out, so per the rubric's guideline for short self-contained skills a well-organized body scores 5. The single heading and one line constitute adequate organization for content this size; there are no buried or nested references to penalize. | 5 / 5 |
