78%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.
An exemplarily lean, well-structured checklist skill whose only real weakness is actionability: it tells Claude what to verify but never how. Adding one concrete executable example per checklist (a test command, a config-resolution snippet, a smoke-path probe) would close the gap.
Suggestions
Add a concrete example for at least one item per checklist, e.g. the config-resolution-order check could show a 3-line env/DB/default resolution snippet, and the smoke path could show the actual command or request used to prove routing.
Add a short feedback loop for the verification stage: what to do when a targeted check or the smoke path fails (fix, re-run narrow tests, then re-run the gate).
Make the Required Handoff items actionable by specifying where evidence goes (e.g. 'paste test summary and smoke-path output into the handoff').
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every line is a terse directive ("Validate config resolution order (`env > DB > default`)", "Keep unknown-provider errors actionable") with zero padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows. Leanest possible form — every token earns its place. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete validation targets are named (resolution order, model identifier parsing, token redaction, fallback chains), but no commands, code, file paths, or examples show how to execute any check — "Narrow tests for changed provider/routing/auth paths" is direction rather than instruction. This matches the 'some concrete guidance but incomplete; missing key details' anchor, not 4, which requires executable commands. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear sequence exists (Change → Compatibility → Verification → Handoff) with an explicit gate ("Broad gate checks after targeted checks pass") and negative-path tests. It is not 5 because no error-recovery feedback loop is described (what to do when the smoke path routes to the wrong backend). | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is under 50 lines, well-organized into distinct checklist sections, and needs no external references; no bundle files exist and none are referenced. Per the rubric's simple-skill guidance, this is a 5. | 5 / 5 |
