75%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 tight, actionable template with strong worked examples and clear section-by-section guidance; it respects token budget and assumes Claude's competence. The main weaknesses are a dangling GLOSSARY.md reference, conceptual guidance in the Merge Danger section, and a visualization catalog that could be split out for progressive disclosure.
Suggestions
Resolve the 'GLOSSARY.md' reference — either ship it in the bundle (e.g., references/glossary.md) or drop the instruction, since it currently points to a nonexistent file.
Make the Merge Danger section more actionable with a concrete example (e.g., a filled-in door and blast-radius line) to match the specificity of the Summary section.
Consider moving the visualization example catalog (pseudocode/call-tree/component-tree/file-tree/Mermaid/diff variants) into a references/ file, keeping SKILL.md as a lean overview.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and imperative ('Skip all preambles and keep prose brief', 'Pick the smallest view that makes the key point clear') with every example earning its place. Minor over-explanation of concepts Claude likely knows (one-way/two-way doors, blast radius) keeps it just below anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | A copy-paste-ready template plus concrete worked examples for each visual type (pseudocode, call tree, component tree, file tree, Mermaid, and four diff shapes) covers the common cases. Minor gaps remain: vague placeholders like '<one-word description>' and conceptual rather than executable guidance in the Merge Danger section. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The single task (fill in the template) is unambiguous with a clear template-then-section-guidance structure, and no destructive operations require validation checkpoints. It falls short of anchor 5 because evidence gathering and visual selection are guided by principle rather than an explicit sequence or checklist. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The single-file body (~170 lines) is well organized into Summary, Evidence, and Merge Danger sections with clear subsections, and no bundle files exist to navigate. Minor gaps: the body references 'GLOSSARY.md' which is not present in the bundle, and the extensive visualization example catalog could arguably live in a reference file. | 4 / 5 |
