86%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.
A lean, well-structured instruction skill: every line is an executable directive, the gather→write→publish workflow is clearly sequenced with an explicit pre-publish checkpoint, and the 35-line body needs no external files. The single gap is the absence of a worked example showing what a good filled-in description looks like.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every line is directive with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows — e.g., "Limit descriptive sentences to 25 words and procedural sentences to 20 words" and "Preserve the checklist and check only verified items" each earn their tokens. There is nothing to trim, matching the lean top anchor rather than level 4's "minor instances of over-explanation". | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance throughout: "Fill in `.github/pull_request_template.md`", "pass it to `gh pr create` or `gh pr edit` with `--body-file`", and "Link an existing issue ... with `Closes #N`". It stops short of level 5 because there is no worked example of a filled-in description, which is the common case an example would fully cover. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear gather ("Inspect the branch diff, commits, related issue...") → write → publish sequence exists with an explicit checkpoint ("Before publishing, confirm the Summary leads with why the change is needed") and a verification rule ("check only verified items"). It is below level 5 because there is no error-recovery or review feedback loop, though the operation is non-destructive so the batch/destructive cap does not apply. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, needs no external references, and is organized into clear sections (intro, Write, Publish); the only cited path (.github/pull_request_template.md) is a repo file the skill must consume, not a bundle reference. Per the rubric's simple-skill provision this matches the top anchor. | 5 / 5 |
