Quality

Content

100%

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 tightly written, action-oriented debugging discipline with strong sequencing, validation gates, and checklists. It assumes Claude's intelligence, avoids tutorial fluff, and points to one real supporting script.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes competence — it never explains basic concepts like what a debugger is and every line instructs rather than pads, so every token earns its place.

3 / 3

Actionability

It gives concrete enumerated guidance (ten loop-construction methods), specific commands like git bisect run and tagged debug logs, and a real referenced script scripts/hitl-loop.template.sh; per the rubric notes, absent code in an instruction-only skill is not penalized when guidance is this actionable.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear six-phase sequence is backed by explicit validation checkpoints and checklists (Phase 1 completion criterion, Phase 2 confirm list, Phase 6 required list), with feedback loops for recovery.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is a well-organized self-contained file with a single one-level-deep, clearly signaled reference to scripts/hitl-loop.template.sh (a real bundle file), so navigation is easy and references are not nested.

Description

90%

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 is concise, uses third person, and supplies explicit trigger guidance with natural user-facing terms. Its only weakness is specificity: it names the domain and core mechanism but does not list multiple discrete concrete actions.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Diagnosis loop for hard bugs and performance regressions" names the domain and central mechanism but does not enumerate multiple concrete operations, matching the anchor that names domain and some actions without being comprehensive.

2 / 3

Completeness

It states what the skill does ("Diagnosis loop for hard bugs and performance regressions") and an explicit when ("Use when the user says..."), answering both what and when with explicit triggers.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

The quoted triggers "diagnose"/"debug this" plus the symptom set broken/throwing/failing/slow are natural phrases a user would actually say, giving good coverage rather than just some relevant keywords.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The diagnosis-loop framing plus specific quoted triggers carve a clear niche unlikely to fire for the wrong skill, rather than overlapping with generic skills.
