73%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, highly actionable orchestration skill with strong validation checkpoints and clear delegation to sub-skills and shared references. Its main weakness is conciseness: verbose checkpoint dialog blocks, a full report template, and a timeline table inflate the body without proportional guidance value.
Suggestions
Move the full Phase 6 final-report markdown template and the Typical Timeline table into a referenced file (e.g. references/report-template.md) and keep only a short pointer inline to improve conciseness and progressive disclosure.
Compress the repeated checkpoint dialog blocks into a single reusable checkpoint format description rather than restating the pattern verbatim after each phase.
Tighten the inline 'writing invariant' blockquote by linking to /paper-write's CONFIDENT PROSE / HONEST LIMITS contract instead of restating it in full.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient and avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows, but the lengthy checkpoint dialog blocks, the full final-report template, the typical-timeline table, and the inline 'writing invariant' prose add padding that could be trimmed or moved to references. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | It gives concrete, copy-pasteable invocations for each phase (/paper-plan "$ARGUMENTS", /paper-compile "paper/", etc.), names specific outputs and tools (latexmk, pdftotext, matplotlib/seaborn), and defines constants, though a few phases describe outcomes rather than fully executable steps. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The pipeline is explicitly sequenced Phase 1 through 6 with per-phase inputs/outputs/checkpoints, validation gates (compilation must succeed before the improvement loop), and feedback loops in the review→fix→recompile rounds, including the destructive/batch validation the rubric rewards. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | It is structured as an overview pointing to one-level-deep shared references (output-versioning.md, output-manifest.md, output-language.md) and delegates detailed behavior to sub-skills; no bundle files exist, and some content (the full report template, timeline table) is arguably inlined that could live elsewhere, keeping it just below a 5. | 4 / 5 |
