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.
A well-structured, actionable skill body with concrete commands, a real validation checkpoint for result handling, and useful coaching for vague queries. Slightly verbose in the coaching/tips overlap and could benefit from an explicit feedback loop for the QMD indexing failure case.
Suggestions
Consolidate the overlapping 'Search coaching' and 'Tips for good searches' sections to remove restated guidance and tighten conciseness.
Add an explicit validate→fix→retry loop for the QMD engine case (e.g., if `engine = "qmd"` search returns nothing, run `qmd update && qmd embed`, then re-run) rather than a one-line remediation hint.
Trim restated constraints in 'Gotchas' that already appear under 'Output' or 'Flags' to reduce token cost.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly lean and assumes Claude's competence (e.g., the Gotchas deliver dense, useful constraints); a few sections restate guidance found elsewhere (coaching vs. tips) that could be tightened. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands covering common cases — `minutes search` with flags, an exact config.toml snippet, `date -v-7d +%Y-%m-%d` for relative dates, and `minutes get "<exact path>" --json` with an exit-status requirement. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear sequencing with an explicit validation checkpoint ("require exit status 0, and use only that response") before trusting a result and a guard against `cat`/Read; minor gap is the absent validate→fix→retry loop for the QMD-not-indexed failure beyond a one-line remediation hint. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized into clearly labeled sections (Usage, Flags, Output, How search works, Coaching, Tips, Gotchas) with no bundle files present; sits just above the under-50-line simple-skill exception, so structure is good but not the maximal single-section case. | 4 / 5 |
