77%Weight 40%Scale 1-3Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A thorough, highly actionable skill with a clear multi-step workflow and reviewer feedback loop. Its main weaknesses are minor internal repetition and progressive disclosure: the referenced shared-references files are missing from the bundle and content that could be externalized is inline.
Suggestions
Consolidate the MAX_PAGES definition and the "section count is flexible" note so each is stated once (in Constants and Key Rules respectively) to remove repetition.
Either include the referenced shared-references/*.md files in the bundle or inline the essential parts of the Output Versioning, Manifest, and Language protocols so the links resolve.
Consider moving the verbose section-by-section templates and Figure/Citation Plan tables into a reference file the SKILL.md points to, keeping the body as an overview.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is operationally dense with no conceptual fluff, but restates the MAX_PAGES rule and "section count is flexible" guidance three times each, so it could be tightened. Not a 1 because it never explains concepts Claude already knows; not a 3 because of the repetition. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides copy-paste-ready markdown templates (Claims-Evidence Matrix, section-by-section outlines, Figure Plan, Citation Plan) and a concrete MCP tool call example, giving fully executable guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly sequenced 7-step workflow with an explicit reviewer feedback loop (poll review_status until done=true, then apply feedback before finalizing), which serves as the validation checkpoint for this non-destructive task. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Section organization is clear and the three Output Protocol links are signaled one level deep, but those shared-references/*.md files are absent from the bundle and the detailed templates are largely inline rather than split into reference files. | 2 / 3 |
