85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a strong, well-structured debugging skill that provides clear decision-making guidance, actionable commands, and excellent progressive disclosure through reference files. The workflow is well-sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints (Red Flags, Golden Rules). The main weakness is moderate verbosity in some sections — the emphatic tone ('NO FIXES WITHOUT ROOT CAUSE', 'NEVER', 'IS NOT ACCEPTABLE') and some elaborated rules could be tightened without losing clarity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is mostly efficient and avoids explaining basic Go concepts, but some sections are verbose — the Red Flags section, Golden Rules elaborations, and repeated emphasis on 'NO FIXES WITHOUT ROOT CAUSE' could be tightened. The 'Research the Codebase' rule is somewhat wordy. However, it generally respects Claude's intelligence and doesn't over-explain Go fundamentals. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The decision tree provides specific, executable commands (go test -race, curl pprof endpoints, GOTRACEBACK=all). Golden Rules give concrete techniques (git bisect, fmt.Println, write a failing test). The dependency installation command is copy-paste ready. The guidance is specific and directly usable rather than abstract. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The skill provides a clear sequential workflow: Decision Tree → Golden Rules → General Methodology → escalation path. The numbered steps (1-6) at the top are well-sequenced. The 'one hypothesis at a time' rule and Red Flags section serve as validation checkpoints. The escalation guide (fmt.Println → logging → pprof → Delve) is explicit. The dual-mode approach (single-issue vs codebase hunt) is clearly delineated. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Excellent progressive disclosure with a concise overview in SKILL.md and 10 well-described reference files covering specific topics. Each reference file has a clear one-line description of what it contains and when to use it. References are one level deep and clearly signaled. Cross-references to other skills are well-organized at the bottom. | 3 / 3 |
