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.
The body is a lean, highly actionable interview protocol with concrete example phrasings, explicit decision rules, and a crisp ADR checklist — conciseness is exemplary. Its one significant defect is bundle integrity: both linked format files are missing, which breaks progressive disclosure and leaves the documentation-update deliverables without a specified format.
Suggestions
Ship the referenced format files: both CONTEXT-FORMAT.md and ADR-FORMAT.md are linked from the body but absent from the bundle. Either create them (e.g. under references/ and update the links) or inline the formats into SKILL.md.
Add a brief closing step defining when the grilling session ends — e.g. all design-tree branches resolved and CONTEXT.md updated — so the workflow has an explicit terminal checkpoint.
Clarify the start of the session sequence (e.g. explore documentation first, then begin questioning) so the section order becomes an explicit ordered workflow rather than an implied one.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~75-line body is lean and assumes Claude's competence: "Create files lazily — only when you have something to write", "Don't couple CONTEXT.md to implementation details", and compact ASCII trees that convey both single- and multi-context layouts without explaining concepts Claude already knows. Matches anchor 5 — every token earns its place; there is nothing to trim, so it is not 4. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Mostly executable instruction-only guidance with copy-paste-ready phrasings ("Your glossary defines 'cancellation' as X, but you seem to mean Y — which is it?", "You're saying 'account' — do you mean the Customer or the User?") and a numbered three-part ADR test, matching anchor 4. Not 5 because "Use the format in [CONTEXT-FORMAT.md](./CONTEXT-FORMAT.md)" and "[ADR-FORMAT.md](./ADR-FORMAT.md)" reference files that do not exist in the bundle, leaving the actual output formats unspecified; not 3 because the behavioral guidance itself is complete and specific. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear process rules with checkpoints: "Ask the questions one at a time, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing" (a per-question feedback loop), "If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead" (an explicit decision rule), and the three-condition ADR checklist — matching anchor 4. Not 5 because the session-level sequence relies on section ordering rather than an explicit end-to-end flow, and there is no guidance on when or how the grilling concludes. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The in-body organization is clean and the two references are clearly signaled and one level deep, but both referenced files (CONTEXT-FORMAT.md and ADR-FORMAT.md) are absent from the bundle — the skill's only references are broken, so the promised formats are unreachable. This fits anchor 3 (structure present but organization undermined); a dangling reference is more than the 'minor organization gaps' of anchor 4. | 3 / 5 |
