77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured triage skill with a clear workflow, specific evaluation criteria, and good examples covering multiple scenarios. Its main weakness is verbosity in the examples section—four detailed examples with markdown-rendered issue content makes the file longer than necessary. The actionability and workflow clarity are strong, providing Claude with concrete decision-making criteria.
Suggestions
Consider moving examples 3 and 4 to a separate EXAMPLES.md file, keeping only examples 1 and 2 inline to demonstrate the ready/needs-info distinction.
Tighten the evaluation commentary in examples—phrases like 'Clear description' and 'Has reproduction link' repeat what the workflow section already defines as criteria.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is mostly efficient but the four examples are somewhat verbose. The examples could be condensed—three would suffice, and the evaluation commentary repeats criteria already stated in the workflow. However, it avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides concrete, specific guidance: exact file paths to check for templates, clear evaluation criteria with specific questions, and four detailed examples showing both positive and negative cases with explicit reasoning. The workflow is directly executable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The four-step workflow is clearly sequenced (locate template → evaluate → determine → provide feedback), with explicit decision points (is it a bug? ready vs needs info?) and clear criteria for each determination. The 'be reasonable' section adds important judgment calibration. No destructive operations are involved, so validation checkpoints aren't needed. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill references a fallback template at 'references/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md' which is good progressive disclosure, but all four examples are inline making the file longer than necessary. The examples could be split into a separate reference file with just one or two kept inline for quick reference. | 2 / 3 |
