18%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 conceptual overview of the Hierarchy of Engagement framework with good use/not-use scoping, but it contains no actionable procedure, no application steps, and no worked example — it tells Claude what the framework is without how to execute it. Boilerplate sections and conceptual padding further reduce its value per token.
Suggestions
Add a step-by-step application workflow (e.g., 1. List candidate core actions with usage data, 2. Classify each benefit as tier 1/2/3, 3. Test for accruing benefits and switching costs, 4. Derive the North Star metric and validation checkpoints), replacing the conceptual 'What It Is' padding.
Include a worked example showing a sample product's core action, its three benefit tiers, and the resulting North Star metric, so Claude has a concrete pattern to imitate rather than only a description.
Remove the boilerplate 'Domain Context' section and merge the redundant 'Resources' and 'Further Reading' sections into one clearly signaled list.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Noticeably verbose for what it delivers: the "Domain Context" section is pure boilerplate filler ("combines best practices from industry leaders"), and passages like "Most consumer products fail not because they lack users... Getting someone to sign up is one thing; getting them to stay is everything" re-explain a well-known framework concept Claude already knows. It is not 3 because multiple padded sections add no actionable value. | 2 / 5 |
Actionability | The body only describes the framework ("a three-level framework for building consumer products that retain users") and when to use it, but never instructs how to apply it — no steps for identifying a core action, no questions to ask, no worked example, no evaluation criteria for the three tiers. This matches the anchor "only describes rather than instructs". | 1 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | There is no sequenced process at all: applying this framework is inherently multi-step (surface core-action candidates, categorize benefits into the three tiers, assess accruing benefits and switching costs, derive the North Star metric), yet the body presents no steps or checkpoints in any order. Steps are missing, not merely incomplete, so it is below the level-2 anchor. | 1 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is short (~50 lines) with clear sections (What It Is, When to Use, When Not to Use) and one-level-deep external links, which per the simple-skill guideline could merit a 5. Minor organization gaps hold it to 4: the "Domain Context" section is filler, and "Resources" and "Further Reading" are two redundant sections listing external articles that should be merged. | 4 / 5 |
