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 tightly written, well-structured instruction skill: concrete commands and checklists, an approval-gated launch sequence, and excellent progressive disclosure into verified reference files. The gaps are modest — some redundancy in the principles section, no sample spawn prompt or creation command, and no post-launch verification/synthesis step.
Suggestions
Add a short example spawn prompt (files owned, context, definition of done) to make the richest guidance immediately copy-adaptable.
Extend the launch sequence with a final step for monitoring teammates, reviewing their output, and synthesizing results before cleanup.
Trim the "Parallel Work Principles" section to the points not already covered by "Decompose Into Roles" and "Write Rich Spawn Prompts".
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes competence — "Teammates do NOT inherit the lead's conversation history" and the anti-patterns list are non-obvious, earned knowledge with no padding of basic concepts. It falls just short of anchor 5 because the "Parallel Work Principles" section partially restates guidance already given in "Write Rich Spawn Prompts" (rich context, task sizing) in a more philosophical register. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Most guidance is executable: exact bash commands ("python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/update-docs.py", "tmux kill-session -t <session-name>"), a copy-paste JSON env block, and concrete checklists for spawn prompts and team structure. It misses anchor 5 because the core action — actually creating the team and spawning a teammate — has no concrete example (e.g., a sample spawn prompt or the exact creation command), leaving a minor gap. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The six numbered steps give a clear sequence with explicit checkpoints ("If the flag isn't set, tell the user and offer to add it", "Present the proposed team structure to the user for approval before spawning") and error recovery for orphaned tmux sessions. It sits below anchor 5 because the flow ends at team creation — there is no step for monitoring progress, verifying teammate output, or synthesizing results, and plan approval is only mentioned outside the sequence. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | SKILL.md is a concise overview with all deep detail split into two real, verified one-level-deep reference files, each clearly signaled with its purpose in a Reference section ("Complete agent teams documentation", "Subagents documentation (for comparison and configuration)"), plus a working maintenance script. This matches anchor 5: content appropriately split with easy navigation and no nested references. | 5 / 5 |
