77%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-engineered process skill: clear three-stage workflow with validation checkpoints at every boundary, excellent conditional progressive disclosure to real reference files, and largely actionable guidance. The main cost is verbosity — extensive repeated justifications that could be cut to tighten the body without losing any operative rule.
Suggestions
Conciseness: cut repeated justifications — the 'horizontal cut the pipeline exists to avoid' rationale and the argument for the light default each appear multiple times; state each once and let the rule carry the rest.
Conciseness: trim the multi-sentence philosophical asides (e.g. why a token budget beats a check budget, why Landing rows are written before the code) to one sentence each; the operative rule survives without the essay.
Actionability: tighten abstract directives like 'walk the codebase around what it touches' into a short concrete checklist of what to look for (existing helpers, conventions, adjacent tests).
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | No padding with concepts Claude already knows — every paragraph is project-specific policy — but the body repeatedly justifies the same rationale ('the horizontal cut the whole pipeline exists to avoid' appears three times; the light-profile default is argued twice), so several sections could be tightened without losing information. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is concrete and executable for a process skill: exact artifact paths (`.checks/<feature>.md`), literal thresholds ('accumulate whole slices while the running total stays under 150k tokens'), a concrete diff range (`<feature base>..HEAD`), and counterexamples like 'Proof: npm test'. Minor gaps remain where steps defer to referenced files or stay abstract ('walk the codebase around what it touches'). | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The EXTRACT → BUILD → VERIFY pipeline is stated up front with a diagram, and each stage carries explicit validation checkpoints: the refuse gate before writing the checklist, handoff 'only on green', 'a red proof is a stop, not a note', renegotiation on a wrong check, and the Verifier dispatched only after the feature's last batch. The Examples and Common failures sections complete the feedback loops. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | All four referenced files exist exactly as one-level-deep paths, each reference is well-signaled in the body with conditional loading instructions ('Under `light` or `standard` skip that file entirely', 'Do not load it during the first pass of Extract'), and the SKILL.md body stays a genuine overview while details live in the references. | 5 / 5 |
