78%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-structured reference skill: lean overview with strong Quick Reference and Common Mistakes tables, concrete Good/Bad examples, and clean one-level-deep disclosure into real reference files. The main slack is light over-explanation of Go basics and deferring most rule detail to references.
Suggestions
Trim rationale that re-states Go fundamentals Claude already knows (e.g., 'uppercase is exported, lowercase is unexported'; 'Go call sites always include the package name') — keep the rule and the naming payoff, drop the primer.
For actionability, add one or two complete copy-paste-ready snippets (e.g., a full enum block with the StatusUnknown-at-zero pattern and its String() method) so the most common cases are fully executable inline.
Make the apply-path an explicit short sequence with a checkpoint — e.g., '1. Spot the anti-pattern in the table → 2. Rename with gopls (see golang-gopls) → 3. Lint with revive/errname to confirm' — to nudge workflow_clarity to 5.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly lean — a compact Quick Reference table, terse Good/Bad code blocks, and a dense Common Mistakes table — but includes a few rationale sentences restating Go fundamentals Claude already knows (e.g., 'Capitalization controls visibility — uppercase is exported', 'Go call sites always include the package name'). It is efficient with only minor over-explanation that could be trimmed, not the padding seen at score 3. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete executable guidance — Good/Bad identifier blocks, a Quick Reference table with real examples, a Common Mistakes table with explicit fixes, and named linters (revive, predeclared, misspell, errname) — covering common cases well. It stops short of score 5 because the bulk of detailed rules are deferred to references and the inline snippets are illustrative patterns rather than complete copy-paste units. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | For a convention/reference skill, it gives a clear apply-path: identify a mistake via the Common Mistakes table, apply the fix, use the gopls-rename cross-reference for safe workspace-wide renaming, and enforce with linters. There is no explicit validate→fix→retry checkpoint loop, but none is required for a non-destructive naming reference, so the simple-skill guidance applies; minor explicitness keeps it at 4 rather than 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | SKILL.md is a clear overview with a well-signaled Detailed Categories section pointing one level deep to five real reference files (packages-files.md, identifiers.md, functions-methods.md, types-errors.md, testing.md), each described by topic; references are flat (not nested) and navigation is easy, matching the score-5 anchor. | 5 / 5 |
