78%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.
The content is compact, highly actionable, and well-structured for a simple investigative skill, with named tools and a clear sequence. The main gaps are minor over-explanation of generic debugging wisdom and absent explicit feedback loops for confirming a root cause.
Suggestions
Add an explicit verification step such as 'Confirm the suspected root cause with the source and tests before proposing a fix' to close the workflow validation gap.
Trim generic debugging truisms (e.g. 'Recent changes are the most common source of new issues') to keep every line tool-specific and non-obvious.
Show one complete example invocation for query_graph_tool (with callers_of/callees_of arguments) so the most central tool is copy-paste ready.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and tool-focused with no concept padding, but lines like 'Recent changes are the most common source of new issues' state generic debugging knowledge Claude already has, matching 'efficient; minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed'. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | It names concrete tools with specific parameters (callers_of, callees_of, detail_level="minimal") and gives one full call example, but several tools lack complete call syntax, fitting 'mostly executable; concrete commands with minor gaps'. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear numbered 5-step sequence is present and 'Read the implementation and its tests before changing code' serves as a validation checkpoint before edits, matching 'clear sequence with most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps' rather than the explicit feedback-loop anchor at 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines with no bundle files and no need for external references, and it is organized into well-labeled sections (Steps, Tips, Token Efficiency Rules), meeting the simple-skill exception for a top score. | 5 / 5 |
