75%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-structured, highly actionable multi-step workflow with concrete templates, an executable style-ref integration, and a reviewer feedback loop. Its main weakness is conciseness — the body is long with some redundant or over-explanatory prose that could be trimmed or moved to the shared references.
Suggestions
Trim restated guidance (narrative-principle prose, the MAX_PAGES explanation that appears in both Constants and Key Rules) to reduce token load.
Consider moving the full GAP_REPORT.md template and detailed section-by-section fill-in templates into a reference file, keeping only the skeleton in SKILL.md.
Add an explicit verification checkpoint between Steps 3-5 (e.g., confirm the section count and page budget sum to MAX_PAGES before review) to strengthen workflow clarity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient with concrete templates and venue-specific rules that earn their place, but several prose sections (e.g., the narrative-principle restatement, repeated MAX_PAGES explanations) restate things Claude already knows or that are said elsewhere and could be tightened. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides copy-paste-ready guidance throughout: an executable bash block for style-ref resolution with exit-code handling, fill-in markdown templates for every section, a figure-plan table, a citation plan, and a complete concrete mcp__codex__codex invocation with prompt. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 7-step sequence is present with a real feedback loop in Step 6 (reviewer feedback applied before finalizing) and input-validation logic in Step 1 (CLAIMS_FROM_RESULTS.md verdict handling), but intermediate steps lack explicit verification checkpoints before proceeding. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | External detail is pushed to clearly signaled one-level-deep references (../shared-references/*.md, tools/extract_paper_style.py) loaded only when needed, with good section structure; however no bundle files ship locally under ./references/ or ./scripts/ and some inlined templates (e.g., the full GAP_REPORT.md format) could be externalized. | 4 / 5 |
