77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is highly actionable with a clear, validated multi-step workflow and concrete code/schemas, but it is verbose with repetition (soft-only and uncited modes restated multiple times) and monolithic — skill-specific detail that could live in separate reference files is inlined rather than progressively disclosed.
Suggestions
Consolidate the soft-only mode material into one section; it is currently restated in Constants, Key Rules, the dedicated 'Optional: Soft-Only Mode' section, and the augmented JSON schema — reference one authoritative location from the others to cut repetition (improves conciseness).
Move the heavy detail blocks (the augmented soft-only JSON schema, the full Submission Artifact Emission schema, and the Uncited Entry Detection protocol) into bundled reference files under references/ and link to them one level deep from SKILL.md, turning the file into a concise overview (improves progressive_disclosure).
Extract the verdict translation table and decision table into a single reference doc and summarize inline, reducing the inline schema/boilerplate that drives the file's length (improves conciseness).
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is ~500 lines / 30KB with genuine operational density and no concept-explanation fluff (it does not explain what a citation is), so it is above score 1; however soft-only mode is restated in four places (Constants, Key Rules, a dedicated section, and the augmented schema) and uncited detection is repeated, which is tighten-able verbosity per the score-2 anchor rather than the lean score-3 anchor. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | It provides a complete, copy-paste-ready mcp__codex__codex invocation block (model, config, sandbox, full prompt), concrete JSON ledger schemas with worked examples, and executable `latexmk -C && latexmk -pdf -interaction=nonstopmode main.tex` commands, matching the score-3 fully-executable anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The seven-step workflow is clearly sequenced with an explicit validation checkpoint in Step 7 (recompile and confirm 'No new Citation undefined warnings', 'No Reference undefined warnings') plus a verdict decision table, matching the score-3 anchor with explicit validation steps and error-recovery feedback rather than the gap-prone score-2 anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | It is a monolithic single file with skill-specific heavy detail kept inline (soft-only mode ~80 lines, uncited detection ~35, submission-artifact emission ~90) that could be split into bundled reference files; the only references point to external ../shared-references/*.md docs that are not part of this skill's bundle and cannot be verified, so it sits at the score-2 'content that should be separate is inline' anchor rather than the appropriately-split score-3 anchor. | 2 / 3 |
