77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is highly actionable with concrete commands, parameters, templates, and a clearly sequenced multi-phase workflow supported by real error-recovery loops. Its main weakness is progressive disclosure: the two reference files are unused and their content is duplicated inline rather than linked, which also slightly hurts conciseness.
Suggestions
Replace the inline severity-threshold table (Step 4.1) with a one-line pointer to references/severity-thresholds.md to remove duplication and actually use the bundle.
Link references/supported-languages.md from the File Type → Scan Type table instead of maintaining a condensed parallel copy in the body.
Consider moving the full report template block (Step 4.2) into a reference file and keeping only the structure summary in SKILL.md to reduce body length.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly lean tables and commands with no padded concept explanations, but the inline severity-threshold table and File Type→Scan Type table duplicate content that already lives in the reference files, so it could be tightened. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | It provides fully executable guidance — concrete git diff commands, exact MCP tool parameters (path, all_projects, severity_threshold), a copy-paste-ready report template with example rows, and a concrete .snyk policy YAML — matching the anchor for fully executable, copy-paste-ready instructions. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear five-phase sequence (Change Detection → Execute Scans → Filter → Report → Track Metrics) with numbered steps and genuine feedback loops in the error-handling table (timeout → retry with smaller scope; auth error → re-auth and retry; false positives → add policy → re-run to verify) satisfies the anchor for explicit validation and error-recovery loops. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Sections are well-organized, but the body never signals or links the two existing reference files, instead inlining a condensed severity table and file-type table that duplicate reference content — fitting the anchor for references present but not clearly signaled and content that should be separate being inline. | 2 / 3 |
