90%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, highly actionable CLI reference with good sequencing and a dry-run validation checkpoint for write operations. Minor gains possible from an explicit preview-then-fix feedback loop and trimming length toward the simple-skill threshold.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean command listings with terse labels and no over-explanation of what Things or a CLI is; every line earns its place and assumes Claude's competence. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Commands are fully executable and copy-paste ready (e.g. `things add "Buy milk" --notes "2% + bananas"`), with examples covering add, modify, move, tag, checklist, and complete/cancel cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The modify workflow is sequenced (get UUID via search, set auth, then update) and includes a `--dry-run` validation checkpoint, so the destructive-operation cap does not apply; it stops short of an explicit error-recovery feedback loop. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist and the content is a self-contained, well-sectioned SKILL.md; at ~61 lines it sits just over the 50-line simple-skill threshold, so it does not fully qualify for the section-only 5. | 4 / 5 |
