81%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 a well-structured, actionable multi-phase workflow with clear sequencing, explicit feedback loops, and validation checkpoints. Its main weakness is mild redundancy between the Gotchas table and the Hard Rules / Phase sections, and some long inline subsections that could be split into reference files.
Suggestions
Tighten the Gotchas table so each row adds a new failure mode rather than restating the corresponding Hard Rule or Phase guidance (e.g., the native-fetch row overlaps with Phase 1 Fetch).
Consider moving the 'Conversation Or Review Distillation' subsection into a separate reference file and keeping a one-line pointer in Phase 2, improving progressive disclosure now that the body exceeds the simple-skill threshold.
Add one or two concrete command-shaped examples for Phase 1 Discover (e.g., the exact search-plugin invocation pattern) to lift actionability from strong guidance to fully executable.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is largely lean with short imperatives and no padding of concepts Claude already knows; e.g., 'Generic wisdom is not worth distilling.' earns its place. It is not a 5 because a few Gotchas rows restate Hard Rules / Phase guidance and could be trimmed. Score is above the 3 anchor but not fully lean. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable guidance: ordered Discover/Fetch/File sub-steps, quantitative targets ('5-10 sources for a blog post, 15-20 for a deep technical survey'), and a decision rule ('Passes two or three: belongs in the outline'). It is instruction-only so absence of code is acceptable, but it stops just short of literal command examples, so not a 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Six phases are clearly sequenced (Collect -> Digest -> Outline -> Fill In -> Refine -> Self-review) with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops: 'return to Phase 2 for that sub-topic', 'Two passes minimum', Pre-check warnings, and stall signals. This matches the anchor for clear sequence with explicit validation and error-recovery feedback loops. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized single-file overview with clear section headers, a mode table, and a Gotchas table; no bundle files exist so there are no nested references to penalize. It is not a 5 because the skill is ~115 lines (above the simple-skill threshold) and inline material like the long 'Conversation Or Review Distillation' subsection could plausibly live in a separate reference file. | 4 / 5 |
