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 body delivers a clearly sequenced six-phase workflow with explicit validation gates, feedback loops, and hard rules, plus concrete operational parameters like source-count targets and claim-test questions. It is mostly lean and actionable, held back only slightly by a couple of dense sections and the absence of worked examples of intermediate artifacts such as outlines or digests.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense with workflow-specific rules (claim-test questions, stall signals, source-count targets) and assumes Claude's competence rather than teaching background concepts. Minor over-explanation in the Output representation guidance ("visual polish alone is not evidence of correctness") and parts of Phase 6 could be trimmed, keeping it below the lean-everywhere bar of anchor 5 but clearly above anchor 3. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance throughout: ordered Discover/Fetch/File steps with fallback behavior when /read is absent, "5-10 sources for a blog post, 15-20 for a deep technical survey", a mode table with entry/exit phases, and a specified candidate-matrix shape for distillation. Not 5 because no worked example of any intermediate artifact (outline, digest notes) is shown, leaving a minor gap. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Six phases are explicitly sequenced with per-mode entry/exit mapping, an explicit validation gate ("No Phase 4 before the outline is solid"), feedback loops ("return to Phase 2 for that sub-topic, not the whole article"), enumerated stall signals, a two-pass self-review, and a publish hard-stop. This matches the top anchor's validation-plus-feedback-loop structure; the skill is not destructive/batch so no cap applies. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single-file skill with no bundle files, organized under clear headers, tables, and phase sections; no broken or buried references exist. Not 5 because at ~105 lines it exceeds the simple-skill exception and contains dense inline blocks (Conversation Or Review Distillation, the Output representation guidance) that could be split into one-level-deep reference files. | 4 / 5 |
