81%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 well-structured, highly actionable skill body with a clearly sequenced workflow, explicit validation gates and a checklist before decisions are recorded, plus a properly organized one-level-deep reference bundle. Its main weakness is token efficiency: guardrails are repeated across five-plus sections and the Reusable Prompt duplicates the whole skill.
Suggestions
State each guardrail once in a single canonical section (or the relevant step) and cross-reference it from Best Practices, Security Notes and Limitations instead of re-phrasing it in each place.
Drop or drastically trim the 'Reusable Prompt' section - it restates the entire skill in different words and adds ~15 lines of duplicated content.
Move the 35-category enumeration and the full standard demo-test list into a reference file (e.g. select-options.md or a new evaluation-framework.md), keeping only the scoring rules and examples inline.

|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The prose is dense with non-obvious domain rules (Untested vs '1 Missing', NPR-default currency, TCO recurrence conditions) rather than generic filler, but the same guardrails ('never invent / Unknown is not zero', 'this skill never selects') are restated in the Overview, Step 2, Step 4, Best Practices, Security Notes and Limitations, and the ~15-line 'Reusable Prompt' section re-paraphrases the entire skill. This fits 'mostly efficient but could be tightened'; it is above 2 because nothing explains concepts Claude already knows. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is copy-paste ready for an instruction-only skill: exact opening and re-ask question templates, a YAML internal-state shape, a fully defined 1-5 scoring scale with labels, explicit formulas ('First-Year Cost = Licence Cost + Implementation Cost + Customization Cost + Training Cost, plus any other first-year line'), a worked example dialogue, and named-field controls before a decision is recorded. Specific examples cover the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Five clearly sequenced steps with explicit stop conditions ('Stop as soon as the remaining answers would not change the shortlist'), feedback loops (a non-choice answer is re-asked explicitly), a visible 'unverified' gate before any recommendation, and the 'Controls before a decision is recorded' checklist (e.g. "'Selection Decision' may not read 'Selected' while 'Deal-breaker' is 'Yes'"). This matches the anchor with explicit validation steps, feedback loops and a checklist. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Four real references (build-artifacts, field-reference, select-options, common-pitfalls) are one level deep, all clearly signaled from the body with clear purpose statements, and none nest further references. It is not 5 because substantial bulk - the 35-category enumeration, the full demo-test script and the cost arithmetic - is inlined in SKILL.md rather than split out, so placement is good rather than ideal. | 4 / 5 |
