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.
This is a well-structured instruction-only skill: it explains a novel multi-agent framework without padding, gives concrete file-level and step-level guidance, and keeps itself an overview by delegating detail to named guides one level deep. The main improvements are closing the few unspecified edge branches (missing bus files, agent ID delivery format) and eliminating the small amount of repeated phrasing. No destructive or batch operations are involved, so no workflow-clarity cap applies.
Suggestions
Add a short branch for §1.1 step 3 failure, e.g., "If a file is missing, tell the User which one and wait — do not create bus files yourself."
State how the agent ID is delivered (e.g., as an argument or in the invoking prompt) so registration is fully executable.
Deduplicate the trailing "wait for the User to invoke apm-4-check-tasks" instruction by stating it once at the end of §1.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and stepwise, and its framework explanation (Planner/Manager/Worker split, the bus) is novel information Claude does not already know rather than padding. Minor trimming is possible: "wait for the User to invoke apm-4-check-tasks" repeats in both branches of §1.1/§1.2, and "Otherwise, stop" restates the frontmatter restriction. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is concrete and executable for an instruction-only skill: named files (".apm/bus/", "task.md", "report.md", "handoff.md", "AGENTS.md"), named sibling skills, and numbered steps with explicit conditionals ("If handoff.md has content, continue with §1.2"). Minor gaps keep it below 5: no branch for what to do when the bus folder is missing one of its three files, and how the agent ID is delivered is not specified. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Sequencing is clear with genuine checkpoints: the three-file bus-folder check, checking each Task Prompt's Worker name against the registered identity, and reconciling Handoff claims against task.md and git with an explicit trust rule ("Where they differ, trust the current files and git"). Validation of the work itself is mandated but delegated to the task-execution guide, and there are no error-recovery branches, so it does not reach the level-5 anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body stays an overview and pushes detail to clearly labeled, one-level-deep guides ("{GUIDE_PATH:task-execution}: how to carry out a Task", "{SKILL_PATH:apm-communication}") with an explicit depth limit ("Read other APM files only when these files point you to them"). Sections are well organized and easy to navigate, and no bundle files exist that should have been split out. | 5 / 5 |
