63%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-structured, opinionated routing map with genuinely actionable decision rules and concrete conventions. Its weaknesses are repetitious and aside-heavy prose that could be tightened, and a single clearly-signaled reference (PHASE-BOUNDARIES.md) that is missing from the bundle, leaving the deepest decision tree undeliverable.
Suggestions
Ship PHASE-BOUNDARIES.md in the bundle (e.g. under references/) so the only deep-dive link in the body is not dangling.
Cut the duplicated grill-with-docs vs. grill-me comparison - keep the one-line rule in the main flow step 1 and let the Standalone section carry the full rationale (or vice versa).
Trim nested parenthetical asides in the main-flow steps and the wayfinder paragraph into their own short sentences or a comparison table to reduce token load without losing the decision content.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body assumes intelligence (no basic-concept explanations) and is dense, but several passages could be tightened: the grill-with-docs vs. grill-me comparison appears in both the main-flow step 1 parenthetical and the Standalone section, the wayfinder paragraph is very long, and many sentences carry multiple nested parenthetical asides ('(a prototype lives in its own directory, which is exactly what /handoff is for; see Phase boundaries)'). This matches 'mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation or could be tightened' rather than the minor-trimming of anchor 4. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | For an instruction-only routing skill, the guidance is concrete: explicit branch conditions ('can you settle every question in conversation?', 'is this a multi-session build?'), concrete paths and conventions ('.scratch/<feature>/issues/', 'prototype/<name> branch out of main', 'keep steps 1-3 in one unbroken context window'), and named commands per situation. Per the scoring notes, absence of code is not penalized when guidance is actionable; minor gaps (e.g. no example of what a decision ticket looks like) keep it below 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The main flow is a numbered, explicitly-branched sequence with context-hygiene rules and named handoff points, and the on-ramps each state when to enter and where they merge. There are no validation checkpoints, but the skill is a read-only router with no destructive or batch operations, so the workflow-clarity cap does not apply; minor gaps (e.g. no explicit recovery path if a detour prototype fails to settle the question) keep it at anchor 4. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Section structure is clear (main flow, on-ramps, vocabulary, phase boundaries, standalone), and the one deep-dive topic is offloaded via a clearly signaled link ('Read PHASE-BOUNDARIES.md for the ordered tree'). However, that referenced file does not exist in the bundle (no references/ directory, no PHASE-BOUNDARIES.md alongside SKILL.md), making the only progressive-disclosure reference dangling. Structure exists but the bundle-level reference integrity is broken, which fits anchor 3 better than 4's 'references mostly clear' with intact organization. | 3 / 5 |
