47%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The skill has a well-structured workflow with clear sequencing and validation checkpoints, but is significantly over-verbose—explaining concepts Claude already understands, repeating guidance across sections, and including extensive examples that could be condensed or moved to reference files. The critical dependency on 'references/section-templates.md' is unresolved since no bundle files exist, undermining the actionability of the core generation step.
Suggestions
Cut at least 40% of content: remove the RFC vs TDD table, example trigger prompts, and explanations of obvious concepts (e.g., why honest options matter, what 'do nothing' means). Claude knows these things.
Provide the referenced 'references/section-templates.md' file or inline the essential template structure—without it, the skill cannot fully execute its primary task.
Move anti-patterns and the quality checklist to a separate reference file to keep the main SKILL.md focused on the workflow and mandatory structure.
Consolidate the 'Important Notes' section into the workflow steps where each note is relevant, rather than restating guidance already covered above.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is extremely verbose at ~250+ lines. It explains concepts Claude already knows (what an RFC is, RFC vs TDD distinctions, what 'do nothing' means), includes extensive anti-pattern examples that restate obvious points, lists example trigger prompts in three languages, and contains a comparison table and checklist that could be drastically condensed. The 'Important Notes' section largely restates things already covered. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides a structured workflow with specific steps and a concrete AskQuestion JSON block, but the actual RFC generation relies on an external 'references/section-templates.md' file that is not provided in the bundle. The mandatory fields checklist and document structure are clear, but the core deliverable (the actual section templates with markdown output) is missing, making it incomplete for execution. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 5-step interactive workflow is clearly sequenced: gather context → validate mandatory fields → detect type → generate → offer next steps. The quality checklist serves as an explicit validation checkpoint before finalizing. The workflow includes feedback loops (ask if missing) and clear decision points for RFC type detection. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill references 'references/section-templates.md' for detailed templates, which is good progressive disclosure in principle, but no bundle files are provided, meaning the reference is broken. The main file itself is monolithic and contains content that should be in separate reference files (anti-patterns, example prompts, RFC vs TDD comparison). | 2 / 3 |
