100%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 exemplary lean process skill: a crisp five-step loop with validation checkpoints, corrective feedback for each failure mode, hard rules, and a done checklist, with test-writing detail correctly deferred to a single clearly-signaled reference file. No verbosity or structure issues found.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every line is instruction ("Write the simplest production code that makes it pass. Add nothing the test does not need.") with zero concept explanation or padding; it assumes Claude's competence down to "Run the project's test command" without naming a framework. Matches the lean anchor, not the minor-over-explanation anchor at 4. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | As an instruction-only skill the guidance is fully executable: exact steps, decision criteria ("The test must fail because the behavior is missing, not because of a typo or a missing import"), and recovery actions for the common failure modes ("If it passes, it tests nothing new: change the test"). Covers the common cases the anchor-5 analog asks for. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 5-step cycle is clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints (watch it fail, run the full suite with no errors or warnings, run again after refactor), feedback loops for error recovery, and a final "Before you say it is done" checklist. Not a destructive/batch operation, so no cap applies. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The ~30-line body keeps the cycle inline and moves detailed test-writing guidance to a well-signaled one-level-deep reference ("When writing or changing a test, read references/writing-good-tests.md"); the file exists on disk, has its own load trigger, and no nested references. Clearly matches the well-split overview anchor rather than the minor-gaps anchor at 4. | 5 / 5 |
