81%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 body is a well-structured orchestration skill: a clear phased workflow with real validation gates, concrete output paths, and a ready-to-fill summary template. Its main weaknesses are minor redundancy at the edges and total dependence on external sibling/shared files whose paths are relative and absent from this bundle.
Suggestions
Trim the overlap between the "Composing with Other Skills" section, the final Key Rules bullet, and the description's scope statement — one canonical disambiguation is enough.
Verify the referenced paths exist relative to the deployed layout (../research-refine/SKILL.md, ../experiment-plan/SKILL.md, ../../shared-references/output-*.md), or inline a minimal fallback for the three output protocols so the skill is self-contained.
Deduplicate the Phase 4 template's Contribution Snapshot and Must-Prove Claims sections against the Phase 1 exit criteria and Phase 2 gate answers, referencing them instead of restating.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly lean with every template and checklist earning its place, but there is minor redundancy: the "Composing with Other Skills" section repeats the scope split already stated in the description and the last Key Rules bullet, and the Phase 4 template's Contribution Snapshot / Must-Prove Claims sections recap Phase 1-2 exit criteria. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete guidance throughout — explicit output paths, per-phase exit criteria, a copy-paste-ready PIPELINE_SUMMARY.md template, and a verbatim user-facing summary — but the actual mechanics of both sub-workflows are fully delegated to sibling skill files that are not part of this bundle, leaving a dependency gap. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Phases 0-5 are clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints: Phase 0 stale/reuse triage of FINAL_PROPOSAL.md, Phase 1 explicit exit criteria, and Phase 2's gate check with "If these answers are not crisp, tighten the final proposal first" — a genuine validate-then-retry loop before the experiment stage. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Stage detail is correctly deferred with well-signaled, one-level-deep references ("read these sibling skills only when needed", purpose-labeled output-protocol links), but the referenced paths (../research-refine/SKILL.md, ../experiment-plan/SKILL.md, ../../shared-references/*.md) are not bundled with this skill, making the navigation unverifiable or broken in a standalone copy. | 4 / 5 |
