71%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 well-organized and actionable with a clear sequenced workflow, but it is a monolithic file that repeats some source/venue content and inlines material (venue tiers, source-value tables) that could live in separate reference files. Splitting those into one-level-deep references would improve progressive disclosure.
Suggestions
Move the Tier A/B/C venue lists into a references/venues.md file and reference it once from the Venue Priority section to reduce repetition and improve progressive disclosure.
Deduplicate the source enumeration (Source Selection, Retrieval Order, External Search Policy, and Output all re-list the same source set); define the set once and refer back to it.
Add an explicit verification/sanity checkpoint in the workflow (e.g., 'before writing the table, confirm each row has venue+year+source and that preprints are labeled') to lift workflow clarity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient and well-structured with bullets, but the valid-source list, retrieval order, and external search policy repeat overlapping source/venue content, adding some tokens that could be consolidated. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Gives concrete guidance (glob patterns 'papers/**/*.pdf', explicit extraction fields, output table columns, venue tiers) rather than vague direction; as an instruction-only skill it lacks code but that is not penalized, leaving only minor gaps. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Sequenced workflow (Step 0a/0b/0c -> 1 -> 2) with explicit graceful-degradation and conditional skip rules; no hard validation checkpoint, but the skill is read-only retrieval so the destructive/batch cap does not apply, leaving minor validation gaps. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Single monolithic SKILL.md with no bundle files; sections are well-organized but the full venue-tier lists and repeated source enumerations are inlined rather than split into referenced files, matching the 'some structure, content that should be separate is inline' anchor. | 3 / 5 |
