88%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 well-built instructional skill: fully executable commands, a complete manifest schema, and an explicit lint-validate-fix feedback loop. The body is close to token-lean, with only a redundant intro line, a duplicated full-schema example, and a slightly confusing private-flag explanation keeping conciseness and progressive_disclosure at 4.
Suggestions
Trim the 'Multiple Skills' section to just the multi-entry skills map instead of reprinting the entire tile.json, or fold it into the main schema example — this is the main conciseness win.
Clarify the private flag guidance: 'Tiles cannot be made private after they are published, so this should be set to false until the user is ready to publish' is internally confusing (false means publicly discoverable); state plainly whether new tiles should default to private: true until publishing is intended.
Consider moving 'Using Tiles' (install/publish) and 'Next Steps' into a short reference file or trimming them, keeping SKILL.md focused on the conversion workflow itself.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence — no explanations of what skills or JSON are, and content is delivered as commands, schemas, and a table. It falls just short of anchor 5 because of minor padding: the opening line 'Wrap standalone skills into Tessl tiles to enable versioning, publishing, and evaluation' restates the description, and the 'Multiple Skills' section reprints an entire second full tile.json when showing only the multi-entry 'skills' map would suffice. It is above anchor 3 ('some unnecessary explanation') since nearly everything present is operational. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Every step is copy-paste executable: 'tessl tile new <tile-name>', 'cp -r <skill-folder> <tile-name>/', 'tessl tile lint <tile-name>', a complete tile.json schema, and a lint-error table mapping each error to a concrete fix. This matches anchor 5 ('fully executable; copy-paste ready code or commands; specific examples cover the common cases') — the Common Lint Errors table explicitly covers the common failure cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Quick Start numbers the sequence (create → copy → update manifest → validate) with an explicit validation checkpoint ('tessl tile lint') and a feedback loop: 'If lint fails, see [Common Lint Errors] below, fix issues, then re-run lint.' This matches anchor 5 ('clear sequence with explicit validation steps; feedback loops for error recovery'). The operation is non-destructive, so no batch/destruction cap applies. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Sections are clear and well-ordered (Prerequisites → Quick Start → Structure → Schema → Troubleshooting → Usage), and nothing is buried or nested — there are no broken or chained references. It does not reach anchor 5, which expects a lean overview with detail split out: the ~110-line body inlines a second full schema example ('Multiple Skills') plus the 'Using Tiles'/'Next Steps' sections, content that could live in a reference file. It is comfortably above anchor 3, since no large block 'should be' elsewhere — the lint table and schema are essential inline content. | 4 / 5 |
