71%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 delivers highly actionable, copy-paste-ready templates and a clear process timeline, but underperforms on organization: two full templates are inlined despite the skill itself declaring that the template library lives in references/details.md, and the worked example duplicates content in that reference. Trimming the generic best-practice tables and moving the inline templates into the reference would resolve most issues.
Suggestions
Move Template 2 (5 Whys) and Template 3 (Quick Postmortem) into references/details.md and renumber consistently, keeping only a one-line pointer to each template in the body — this fixes both the progressive disclosure overlap and the confusing Template 1/2/3 split.
Remove the duplicated worked example: the body's 5-Whys payment-outage incident is the same incident fully worked in references/details.md; keep it in one place only.
Trim the blame/blameless table, anti-patterns table, and Do's/Don'ts sections, which restate widely known postmortem practice — retain only the team-specific triggers and norms Claude would not already infer.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient but padded in places: the blame/blameless table, anti-patterns table, and Do's/Don'ts largely restate postmortem practice Claude already knows, and Template 2's 5-Whys worked example duplicates the same payment/DB-connection incident fully worked in references/details.md. Not 4 because the duplication and generic-advice sections are noticeable, not minor. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is copy-paste ready: Template 2 is a fully worked 5-Whys analysis with per-step evidence, Template 3 is a complete quick-postmortem format, and the facilitation guide gives a time-boxed 60-minute meeting structure — covering the common major and minor cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Day 0–7 timeline and the sequenced meeting structure give a clear process order, and follow-up verification appears in the Don'ts. Not 5 because there are no explicit checkpoints or feedback loops between draft, review, and finalize stages; not 3 because the sequence itself is well defined. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The reference to references/details.md is clearly signaled and one level deep, but two full templates (~90 lines) that belong in that reference are inlined anyway, and the numbering is incoherent — the body shows Templates 2 and 3 while Template 1 exists only in the reference file. This matches the 'content that should be separate is inline' anchor; not 4 because the inline duplication is substantial rather than a minor gap. | 3 / 5 |
