38%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 skill has a genuinely sound skeleton — a phased bottom-up workflow, a per-function analysis checklist, quantitative quality thresholds, and anti-hallucination rules — but it is undermined by heavy sectional redundancy, incoherent numbering, and references to three detail files (and a subagent) that are absent from the bundle. In its current state the output format it mandates is unreachable, which materially hurts both actionability and navigation.
Suggestions
Create the referenced bundle files (FUNCTION_MICRO_ANALYSIS_EXAMPLE.md, OUTPUT_REQUIREMENTS.md, COMPLETENESS_CHECKLIST.md) — or inline their essential content — since the skill mandates an output format and completion criteria that currently exist nowhere.
Collapse the duplicated sections: merge "1. Purpose" with "2. How This Skill Behaves", and merge "When to Use", "8. Relationship to Other Phases", and "9. Non-Goals" into a single scope section to cut roughly a third of the body.
Fix the section numbering (the "### 5.x" subsections under "## 4. Phase 2" and the duplicate "## 5" heading) and define or remove the undefined 'function-analyzer' subagent reference.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is noticeably verbose with several redundant sections: "1. Purpose" and "2. How This Skill Behaves" repeat the same behavioral list; "When to Use / Do not use" overlaps "8. Relationship to Other Phases" and "9. Non-Goals"; and the pure-context-only constraint plus First Principles/5 Whys/5 Hows are restated three to four times. This matches anchor 2 (several unnecessary or padded sections) better than anchor 3's 'mostly efficient with some tightening possible'. | 2 / 5 |
Actionability | There is concrete instructional guidance — the per-function checklist (Purpose, Inputs & Assumptions, Outputs & Effects, Block-by-Block Analysis), quantitative thresholds ("Minimum 3 invariants per function", "Minimum 5 assumptions"), and model output phrasing ("Unclear; need to inspect X") — but key details are incomplete: the complete output format and worked example are deferred to OUTPUT_REQUIREMENTS.md and FUNCTION_MICRO_ANALYSIS_EXAMPLE.md, which do not exist in the bundle, and the referenced 'function-analyzer' agent is undefined. This lands on anchor 3 (some concrete guidance but missing key details) rather than anchor 4. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Phase 1 → Phase 2 → Phase 3 sequence is clearly ordered and a completeness checklist exists as a checkpoint, but the checklist itself lives in a missing file (COMPLETENESS_CHECKLIST.md), and section numbering is incoherent ("## 4. Phase 2" contains subsections "### 5.1"–"### 5.5", followed by "## 5. Phase 3"). Steps are listed with validation gaps, matching anchor 3 rather than anchor 4's 'most checkpoints present'. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body cites FUNCTION_MICRO_ANALYSIS_EXAMPLE.md, OUTPUT_REQUIREMENTS.md, and COMPLETENESS_CHECKLIST.md, but no references/, scripts/, or assets/ directories exist — all three references are dangling, so a reader cannot actually reach the material that defines the required output format and completion criteria. The in-body section structure is reasonable, but broken references make the split ineffective, fitting anchor 2 (minimal effective structure) better than anchor 3's 'references present but not clearly signaled'. | 2 / 5 |
