87%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a high-quality skill that efficiently teaches SMV model extraction with concrete, executable examples and clear comparison to TLA+. The worked example is particularly strong, showing both source code and resulting SMV model. The main weakness is the lack of an explicit extraction workflow with validation steps—the process is demonstrated but not sequenced.
Suggestions
Add an explicit numbered workflow section (e.g., '1. Identify state variables → 2. Map transitions → 3. Bound infinite domains → 4. Run NuSMV to validate syntax → 5. Check properties') with validation checkpoints
Include a brief validation step showing how to run NuSMV/nuXmv to verify the model compiles and check properties (e.g., `nuXmv -int model.smv`)
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and efficient, assuming Claude's competence with programming concepts. Every section adds value—comparison tables, code patterns, and worked examples without explaining basic concepts like what enums or switch statements are. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable SMV code examples, concrete code-to-SMV translation tables, and a complete worked example with both source C code and resulting SMV model. The extraction patterns are copy-paste ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | While the extraction process is implicit through the worked example and tables, there's no explicit step-by-step workflow with validation checkpoints. The 'Do not' section provides guardrails but lacks a clear sequence for the extraction process itself. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-organized with clear sections (when to use, shape, extraction patterns, worked example, bounding strategies, anti-patterns, output format). For a skill of this size (~100 lines), the structure is appropriate without needing external file references. | 3 / 3 |
