77%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 content delivers a well-sequenced, checkpointed pipeline with concrete commands and strong validation/feedback loops. Its main weaknesses are a monolithic, somewhat verbose body that inlines material (gate mechanics, output hygiene) better suited to one-level-deep reference files, and em-dash command tokens that hurt literal copy-paste executability.
Suggestions
Move the per-stage evidence-gate mechanics and the 'Output hygiene' protocol into dedicated reference files under references/ (e.g., references/evidence-gate.md, references/output-hygiene.md), leaving SKILL.md as a concise overview that links to them one level deep.
Replace the em-dash '—' used as a CLI flag separator with literal '--' (e.g., '/research-lit "$ARGUMENTS" --sources: all,gemini --composed: ...') so command strings are copy-paste executable.
Trim repeated model-name restatements ('GPT-5.6-Sol xhigh' appears across multiple phases) into a single constant reference to reduce verbosity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and mostly earns its tokens (phases, constants, checkpoints, gate mechanics) without explaining concepts Claude already knows, but has some repetition (e.g., repeated 'gpt-5.6-sol'/'GPT-5.6-Sol xhigh' mentions and restated output-hygiene points), placing it above the efficient midpoint but short of lean 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, mostly-executable invocations with exact flags and paths (e.g., '/research-lit "$ARGUMENTS" — sources: all, gemini — composed: ...' and the gate command), but uses an em-dash '—' instead of literal '--' in several command strings and retains bracketed placeholders, creating minor copy-paste gaps versus the 5 anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Phases 0 through 5.5 are clearly sequenced with explicit 🚦 checkpoints, AUTO_PROCEED fallbacks, retry/regeneration feedback loops, and a per-stage evidence gate with BLOCKED handling and pilot timeouts; the batch/destructive operations (parallel pilots, idea elimination) carry explicit validation, satisfying the cap rule and reaching the top anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files (references/scripts/assets) exist, so the skill is effectively monolithic; references to shared-references and templates are one-level-deep and clearly signaled, but substantial detail (constants, gate mechanics, the output-hygiene protocol) is inlined in the ~460-line SKILL.md rather than split into separate reference files, matching the 'some structure, content that should be separate is inline' anchor. | 3 / 5 |
