67%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 is a well-sequenced, actionable patent-structuring workflow with concrete templates, tables, and a validation checkpoint. Its weaknesses are moderate redundancy between the Key Rules and earlier steps, a refinement loop that is declared but not explicitly wired, and a shared-references link that points to a non-existent file.
Suggestions
Wire MAX_REFINEMENT_ROUNDS into an explicit loop: after Step 6's reviewer feedback, list which findings to revise and re-run validation until the reviewer approves or the round limit is hit.
Trim the Key Rules section to only constraints not already stated in Steps 1–2 (e.g., keep "Never invent embodiments..." and the codex-unavailable fallback), removing restatements of the Problem/Solution/core-concept rules.
Either create ../shared-references/patent-writing-principles.md or replace the dangling reference with an inline one-paragraph summary of the Problem-Solution-Advantage framework so the skill is self-contained.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is information-dense and avoids explaining basic patent concepts, but the Key Rules section largely reiterates constraints already stated in Steps 1–2 and the output template repeats the Problem-Solution-Advantage structure, giving more than minor redundancy. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | It provides concrete, usable artifacts — a Problem-Solution-Advantage template with statement formats, claim-category and drawing-plan tables, an ASCII dependency map, a reviewer prompt, and a full output template — but these are skeletons with placeholders rather than fully worked examples, stopping short of the score-5 anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Seven steps are clearly sequenced with an explicit cross-model validation checkpoint (Step 6) and a fallback rule, but the MAX_REFINEMENT_ROUNDS constant is not wired into an explicit validate-fix-retry loop, leaving a minor feedback-loop gap below the score-5 anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body has clear section headers and signals one one-level-deep reference (../shared-references/patent-writing-principles.md), but no bundle files exist and that referenced file is absent on disk, a minor organization gap relative to the score-5 anchor. | 4 / 5 |
