wayfinder

Plan a huge chunk of work (more than one agent session can hold) as a shared map of decision tickets on your issue tracker, and resolve them one at a time until the way to the destination is clear.

Quality

Content

67%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a well-structured, genuinely actionable instruction skill: concrete templates, exact labels, and clearly sequenced two-mode workflows with explicit checkpoints. Its costs are stylistic verbosity from the wayfinding metaphor and two unresolvable pointers to tracker documentation that is not part of the bundle.

Suggestions

Trim the metaphorical narration (e.g. "wrapped in fog", "the dim view of decisions and investigations you can tell are coming") to plain statements, and state each concept once instead of defining Not yet specified and Out of scope both in the map-body template and in their own sections.

Resolve the dangling pointers: either bundle a reference for the local-markdown tracker and the tracker "Wayfinding operations" conventions, or inline the minimal operations needed when no tracker doc is provided.

Add a concurrency checkpoint to the work-through-the-map steps (e.g. re-check the ticket is still open and unclaimed immediately before resolving), since the body itself warns that other sessions edit the tracker concurrently.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body teaches genuinely novel concepts (fog of war, frontier, claim protocol, HITL/AFK) without explaining anything Claude already knows, but the metaphor-heavy narration ("wrapped in fog", "the dim view of decisions", "the edge of the known") and repeated definitions (Not yet specified and Out of scope are each defined both in the map-body template and again in their own sections) add tokens that could be trimmed. It is above anchor 2 because the padding is stylistic rather than redundant explanation of known concepts.

3 / 5

Actionability

Concrete, executable guidance throughout: full markdown templates for the map body and ticket body, exact labels (`wayfinder:map`, `wayfinder:<type>`), named Skill-tool invocations ("grilling", "domain-modeling", "research", "prototype"), and numbered step sequences for both invocation modes. It falls short of 5 because two pointers dangle: the "tracker doc's 'Wayfinding operations' section" and the "local-markdown tracker" fallback reference resources not present in this skill's bundle, leaving a session without the concrete operations they specify.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Both invocation modes are cleanly numbered with explicit sequencing checkpoints: claim before any work, create-then-wire in a second pass, never resolve more than one ticket per session, and post-resolution-close-append as a fixed record sequence. It is below 5 because there is no checkpoint for re-verifying a ticket's state before acting on a tracker that other sessions may be editing concurrently, though the one-ticket-per-session rule partially covers this; it is not a destructive or batch operation, so the 3-cap does not apply.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A single-file instruction skill with no bundle files; every reference in the body is an internal anchor ([Ticket Types](#ticket-types), [Work through the map](#work-through-the-map)) and the templates sit inline where they belong, with sections well-organized for navigation. It sits just under 5 because the body is ~128 dense lines whose Ticket Types detail could live in a reference file, keeping the top-level map of the skill leaner.

Description

58%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description communicates a distinctive, concrete capability with a clear 'what', but its 'when' is only implied and its trigger vocabulary omits the natural phrases users would say when reaching for it. Adding an explicit 'Use when...' clause with colloquial triggers would lift both completeness and trigger-term quality.

Suggestions

Append an explicit trigger clause, e.g. "Use when a request is too big for one agent session, the user asks to plan or chart a large effort, or work is too foggy to slice into tasks yet."

Include natural user-side synonyms for the trigger terms, such as 'too big to tackle in one go', 'break down an epic', or 'plan a large effort', so the skill surfaces from colloquial phrasing.

Briefly name the artifacts produced (a labelled map issue plus child tickets) so the 'what' reads as comprehensive rather than partial.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain and several concrete, mechanism-level actions: "plan a huge chunk of work... as a shared map of decision tickets on your issue tracker" and "resolve them one at a time". It is not fully comprehensive (it omits charting, frontier management, and ticket types), so it sits between anchors 3 and 5 rather than at either.

4 / 5

Completeness

The 'what' is clearly stated (plan oversized work as a shared map of decision tickets and resolve them one at a time), but there is no explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause; the 'when' is only weakly implied by the parenthetical "(more than one agent session can hold)". Per the judging guidelines, a missing explicit trigger clause caps completeness at 3, and it does not reach 4 because the 'when' is implied rather than stated at all.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Relevant keywords are present ("huge chunk of work", "plan", "issue tracker", "decision tickets"), but the natural phrases a user would actually say when needing this skill (e.g. "too big to tackle", "break this down", "epic planning") are missing, matching the 'some relevant keywords but missing common variations' anchor rather than the good-coverage anchor above.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The wayfinding/decision-ticket framing ("shared map of decision tickets on your issue tracker") is a clear niche with distinct triggers, carrying only minor overlap risk with generic planning or task-decomposition skills. It falls just short of anchor 5 because 'plan' and 'work' are broad terms that a general planning skill could also claim.
