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 well-engineered skill body: dense, actionable, with excellent one-level-deep progressive disclosure into a complete example bundle. The only weaknesses are minor explanatory padding about Cobra/Viper and the absence of explicit verification steps in the Build/Extend workflows.
Suggestions
Trim the 'Go CLI Best Practices' introduction — the sentences explaining what Cobra and Viper do and naming tools that use them (kubectl, docker, gh) restate knowledge Claude already has; keep only the 'Cobra + Viper as default stack' and stdlib-flag carve-out.
Add an explicit verification step to the Build and Extend modes, e.g. 'after changes, run go build ./... and go test ./... (see cli_test.go for command-level tests)' so each workflow ends in a feedback loop like the Review mode's Common Mistakes checklist.
Replace the generic 'refer to the library's official documentation and code examples for current API signatures' with the specific doc entry points or nothing at all, since it adds tokens without actionable direction.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly tables, MUST-rules, and pointers, but contains minor over-explanation of concepts Claude already knows ('Cobra provides the command/subcommand/flag structure and Viper handles configuration...', 'This combination powers kubectl, docker, gh, hugo') plus generic filler ('refer to the library's official documentation'). Not level 3: the padding is a few sentences, not whole sections. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is fully executable: concrete directives ('SilenceUsage: true' MUST, 'signal.NotifyContext', 'cmd.OutOrStdout()', 'go build -ldflags'), exact package import paths in the Quick Reference, and every section links to a real, complete example file in assets/examples/ (all 12 referenced files exist and contain runnable code). | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Modes section explicitly sequences Build ('follow the project structure, root command setup, flag binding, and version embedding sections sequentially'), Extend ('read the current command tree first'), and Review, and Review has a genuine checkpoint checklist (Common Mistakes table, verify SilenceUsage/exit codes/stdout discipline). Not level 5: Build/Extend flows lack an explicit verify step such as running 'go build'/'go test ./...' after changes. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a clean overview that links one-level-deep to per-topic example files ([assets/examples/serve.go], [assets/examples/flags.go], etc.), each existing in the bundle with real content, and the inlined material (validator table, exit-code table, sample YAML) is appropriately overview-level. Navigation is easy with nothing buried or nested. | 5 / 5 |
