77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-structured orchestration skill with strong actionability and workflow clarity (explicit checkpoints, feedback loops, state recovery). Its main weaknesses are minor redundancy in the overview/composition diagrams and a single monolithic file with no progressive disclosure to reference materials.
Suggestions
Remove the redundant second ASCII diagram (lines 28-33) and the 'Composing with Other Workflows' section, or merge them into a single concise entry-point list to cut repetition.
Split the static patent-type specification tables and jurisdiction-format deliverables into a references/ file (e.g. references/PATENT_TYPES.md) and link to it from the body, reducing the main file length.
Trim the 'Acknowledgements' section — it is decorative and does not guide execution.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient with concrete phases, checkpoints, and tables, but includes redundant material — the parallel-branch idea is shown in two ASCII diagrams (lines 28-33 echo lines 23-26) and 'Composing with Other Workflows' repeats the entry-point info, plus a decorative 'Acknowledgements' section. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, copy-paste-ready guidance throughout: specific sub-skill invocations with arguments ('/prior-art-search "patent/INVENTION_BRIEF.md"'), named output files, checkpoint message templates, a PATENT_STATE.json schema, and a final report template. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Phases 0-5 are clearly sequenced with explicit '🚦 Checkpoint' / '⛔ STOP HERE' gates, per-phase state persistence, examiner-review feedback loops (MAX_REVIEW_ROUNDS=2), and recovery rules for stale state and missing Codex access. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized into clear sections and delegates to sub-skills via slash commands, but with no references/assets bundle everything lives inline in a ~345-line file — content like the patent-type tables and jurisdiction-format deliverables could be split into referenced files for a skill this complex. | 2 / 3 |
