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.
A tight, fully executable reference: every command, flag, exit code, and result field needed to drive the CLI is present, the workflow has an explicit re-run validation loop, and detail is deferred to the tool's own search/rule/schema commands rather than inlined. No dimension shows a meaningful weakness.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every section teaches genuinely unknown, load-bearing facts (the CLI's offline behavior, piped-JSON output, exit-code contract, finding shape) with zero explanation of concepts Claude already knows. "Findings are conservative static heuristics" even pre-empts over-trusting, which earns its tokens. Matches anchor 5 ('every token earns its place'); no section could be trimmed without losing information, so 4's 'minor instances of over-explanation' does not apply. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | The body gives copy-paste-ready commands throughout: "npx -y @frontendchecklist/cli <command>", "git diff --cached | frontendchecklist review -", a full command table, and concrete flags ("--focus accessibility,seo", "--min-priority high", "--fail-on high"). Exit-code semantics and the JSON result shape are specified so responses can be parsed and branched on. Matches anchor 5 ('copy-paste ready ... specific examples cover the common cases'); not 4: there are no gaps — even the not-installed fallback is handled. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Workflow section is a clear 4-step sequence with an explicit validation checkpoint and feedback loop: "Re-run the review until no critical/high findings remain (`--fail-on high` exits 0)", plus error handling via exit code 2's `{ "error": "..." }`. This is a read-only review skill, so the destructive/batch validation cap does not apply. Matches anchor 5 ('explicit validation steps; feedback loops for error recovery'); step 4's instruction to surface rather than silently drop medium/low findings adds a completeness checkpoint. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is ~48 lines with no external reference files needed, and per the rubric's simple-skill guideline it qualifies for 5 on well-organized sections alone. It additionally implements progressive disclosure through the tool itself: "search <topic>", "rule <slug>", "schema" ("Full command reference as JSON") defer all detailed rule content to on-demand CLI calls, and "Follow up with `search`/`rule` for areas the heuristics cannot see" navigates to it. Not 4: nothing that belongs in a separate file is inlined. | 5 / 5 |
