82%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 lean, well-structured instruction skill: concrete commands and exact file paths, a clear five-phase workflow with approval and validation checkpoints, and efficient tables instead of prose. The only gaps are high-level release steps without specific commands and the absence of an explicit error-recovery feedback loop.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense with zero padding — terse tables for the source layout and placeholders, and sentences like "A fork retains history for upstream merges. **Use this template** starts a repository with a clean history" — with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, matching the 'lean and efficient; every token earns its place' anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable commands are present ("npm ci", "VERSION=1.1.0 npm run build:release", "apm custom -r owner/repo") plus exact paths ("build/processors/placeholders.js", "build/build-config.json"), but some steps remain high-level ("Create a new version tag and GitHub Release", "Adapt the repository's GitHub workflows"), fitting anchor 4 rather than fully copy-paste-ready coverage at 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The five numbered sections give a clear sequence (layout → changes → build/check → release → documentation), the release is a numbered checklist starting with user approval, and the build step includes validation ("check paths, frontmatter, resolved placeholders and cross-references"), but there is no explicit validate-fix-retry feedback loop, so it does not reach anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is well-organized into clearly signaled sections with one-level-deep references (TERMINOLOGY.md, VERSIONING.md, SECURITY.md, the external customisation guide) and no nested or buried references; at ~65 lines with dense operational tables (placeholders, build targets) it slightly exceeds the simple-skill threshold where sections alone would merit a 5, fitting anchor 4 with only minor organization gaps. | 4 / 5 |
