85%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 reference-style skill body: API-unique knowledge with no filler, executable guard/registration code, explicit error-recovery loops, a verification checklist, and a properly split two-file bundle with clearly signaled one-level-deep references. The only slack is mild triple-statement of the invariants across the mistakes/checklist sections and the absence of an inline authorization-plus-query example.
Suggestions
Merge 'Common Mistakes' into the 'Review Checklist' (or vice versa) as a single verification section — both currently restate the 'Data and sync invariants' rules, saving ~10 lines without losing any rule.
Add one short inline snippet in 'Choose the access workflow' showing the full authorization → transaction-query round trip (requestAuthorization followed by a small FinanceStore query), so the most common case doesn't require opening the reference file.
Trim the References section's duplicate link — 'FinanceKit eligibility' points to the same URL as 'FinanceKit documentation'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense with API-specific facts Claude cannot be assumed to know (version gates, entitlement requirements, token semantics, credit/debit interpretation) and wastes nothing on background concepts. Not a 5 because the 'Common Mistakes' and 'Review Checklist' sections restate the same rules from 'Data and sync invariants' a second and third time (e.g., token-before-commit appears in both), which could be consolidated. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Two copy-paste-ready Swift snippets (availability guard, enableBackgroundDelivery) plus a need→API routing table and concrete symbol names (FinanceError.historyTokenInvalid, SaveOrderResult cases, AddOrderToWalletButton) make the guidance mostly executable. Not a 5 because the most common case — an actual authorization-plus-transaction-query sequence — is only named, not shown, leaving a minor gap that forces a hop to the reference file. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The sections sequence cleanly (eligibility → workflow choice → invariants → background delivery → orders), and the anchor-5 elements are all literally present: an explicit validation gate ("Always guard availability before any financial-data or order API" with code), a feedback loop for error recovery ("On FinanceError.historyTokenInvalid, discard only the affected token and run a fresh catch-up"), and a checklist for the complex sync process. Not a 4 because no checkpoint category is missing. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The SKILL.md is a true overview: essentials inline, details split into two real, one-level-deep reference files that are clearly signaled with a description of their contents ("predicate factories, pagination, fields, currency formatting... a resumable sync manager, SwiftUI integration, extension lifecycle"), plus a top-level Contents TOC. Verified against the actual bundle: both referenced files exist and contain no nested references. Not a 4 because navigation and placement are clean throughout. | 5 / 5 |
