78%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 is an efficient, well-organized methodology playbook with zero token waste and a clear eval-gated workflow. Its main gap is actionability: it tells Claude what principles to follow but rarely shows how, with no examples or templates for evals, failure signatures, or cost tracking.
Suggestions
Add a short worked example of the eval-first loop: a sample capability eval definition, a captured failure signature, and the before/after delta comparison.
Add an error-recovery branch to the Eval-First Loop (e.g., 'If regressions appear, revert or fix before proceeding') to close the workflow validation gap.
Provide a concrete cost-tracking template (e.g., a table or list format with model, tokens, retries, wall-clock, outcome) so the Cost Discipline section is directly executable.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean bullet-based guidance with no padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every line (e.g., "Compact after milestone completion, not during active debugging") earns its place and assumes Claude's competence. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete rules exist (the 15-minute unit rule, the Haiku/Sonnet/Opus tier mapping, the cost-tracking checklist), but there are no examples, templates, or commands showing how to actually define a capability eval, capture a failure signature, or structure a regression check, leaving key execution details missing. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Eval-First Loop is a clearly sequenced four-step process with an explicit compare-deltas checkpoint, but there is no error-recovery branch (what to do when the delta regresses), matching 'clear sequence with most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps'. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | This is a single-file skill with no bundle files; its ~57-line body is organized into well-labeled sections (principles, loop, decomposition, routing, session, review, cost) that need no external references, satisfying the simple-skill exception for progressive disclosure. | 5 / 5 |
