68%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.
A clean, well-structured template for curating a dbt model index with concrete setup guidance and useful production caveats. Its weaknesses are the lack of an explicit query workflow with validation checkpoints and the placeholder index entries that leave the core content as scaffolding.
Suggestions
Add a short 'How to query' workflow that sequences: pick the model matching the question -> check its grain and standard filters -> apply the partition/date-range filter for cost control -> run, with a checkpoint to confirm the partition filter is present before executing.
Fill at least one domain/model entry with a real example so the template demonstrates the intended level of detail (grain, key fields, useful-for patterns) rather than leaving only placeholders.
Move the standard filters, production path, and tier-value notes into a brief reference block or keep them but ensure each model entry links to its applicable standard filter so guidance is actionable per-table.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is a lean template that avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows (no dbt/BigQuery primers) and keeps each section brief; minor placeholder scaffolding text could be trimmed but overall every token earns its place. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | 'How to Set Up This Skill' gives concrete, specific guidance (table name, 1-2 sentence description, 'Useful for:' bullets, join keys, partition fields) and 'Important Notes' supplies executable examples like `where not is_internal_user` and `your-gcp-project.prod.<model_name>`; gaps remain only because the core index entries are placeholders rather than filled models. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | As a single-purpose lookup skill it has a clear trigger via 'When to Use', but there is no explicit query/selection workflow and the cost-control and grain guidance are stated as cautions without a validation checkpoint (e.g. confirm partition filter before running), so it sits at the 'steps present but checkpoints missing' anchor. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is organized into well-labeled sections (When to Use, How to Set Up, per-domain blocks, Important Notes) in a single file with no bundle files present and none needed; it is a touch over 50 lines so it does not reach the simple-skill 5, but structure is clean and navigable. | 4 / 5 |
