Quality

Content

86%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.

A tight, well-sequenced stabilization loop with real validation checkpoints and feedback structure — the body is where this skill's quality lives. The only meaningful gap is the absence of a single concrete gate-command example to anchor 'run the narrowest existing behavior gate'.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Roughly 45 lean lines where every line carries routing or decision information — no concept explanations, no padding, no repetition. Sections (Contract, Completion, Handoff) each add distinct value, and it assumes Claude's competence throughout.

5 / 5

Actionability

Concrete and specific throughout: named tools ('slate-ar-status', 'slate-ar-gate', 'slate-patch', 'autogoal', 'tdd'), explicit decision rules ('if the same valid gate fails twice, stop gating and fix with slate-patch'), and a numbered procedure. Falls short of 5 because 'run the narrowest existing behavior gate' never shows an example gate command, so Claude must discover the concrete invocations elsewhere.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear sequence with genuine feedback loops: gate fails twice -> switch to fixing, 'rerun the focused gate after each fix', and 'broaden to the next relevant gate only after focused proof is green', plus an explicit Completion stop-list. Held below 5 because 'green repeatedly enough for the risk' leaves the required repeat count implicit rather than a concrete checkpoint.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines, single-purpose, no bundle files (references/, scripts/, assets/ are all absent), and the body references only sibling skills rather than nested files. Per the simple-skill guideline, well-organized sections (Contract, Completion, Handoff) are sufficient, and the split is appropriate with no monolithic inline bulk.

Description

51%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 concrete, distinctive capability set but functions as an internal routing label rather than a user-facing trigger. It answers 'what' well and 'when' not at all, and its vocabulary is tool jargon rather than the natural language of someone experiencing an editor regression.

Suggestions

Add an explicit trigger clause, e.g. 'Use when the user reports editor behavior regressions or wants behavior stabilization before perf work' — this would raise completeness from 3 to 5.

Surface the natural surface names from the body (selection, typing, copy/paste, IME, focus, undo/redo, navigation) in the description so users describing a symptom in plain words match this skill.

State the distinction from slate-ar-perfect inline (e.g. 'narrow stabilization loop, unlike the broad slate-ar-perfect workflow') to reduce conflict risk between the two.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (Slate v2 editor behavior stability) and three concrete actions: 'Runs existing editor behavior gates', 'routes repeated failures to slate-patch', 'keeps looping until the surface is stable or blocked'. Slightly below the comprehensive 5-anchor because the actions are phrased in internal tool jargon rather than fully spelled-out capabilities.

4 / 5

Completeness

The 'what' is clear (run gates, route repeated failures to slate-patch, loop until stable), but there is no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance, which caps completeness at 3 per the judging guidelines. Not a 4 because the 'when' is entirely absent rather than merely weakly implied.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

The terms present ('behavior gates', 'slate-patch', 'stable or blocked') are internal skill/tool jargon; the natural phrases a user would actually say (selection, typing, copy/paste, IME, undo/redo, regression) never appear in the description, even though they do appear in the body. Missing common variations and synonyms.

2 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It carves a clear niche (behavior stabilization with gate/route/loop mechanics) and is distinguishable from generic skills, but it leans on sibling-skill names ('slate-patch') and risks overlap with closely related slate skills such as slate-ar-perfect, which the body itself acknowledges as the 'normal broad workflow'.
