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.
A well-structured, actionable skill body with a clear four-phase workflow, an error-recovery rule, and a concrete worked example. The main weaknesses are the orphaned bundle reference (device_location_guide.md is never linked, leaving its content undiscoverable), an inconsistency between the documented `toggle` action and the `use` action in the example, and reactive-only validation.
Suggestions
In Phase 1, link the existing bundle file (e.g., "For typical device locations, see [references/device_location_guide.md](references/device_location_guide.md)") so the guide's lookup table is actually discoverable instead of orphaned.
Resolve the action inconsistency: Phase 4 says to use `toggle {device} {recep}` for the desklamp, but the worked example executes `use desklamp 1` — pick the correct action format and align both places.
Add an explicit validation checkpoint before Phase 4 (e.g., confirm the observation reports the object in inventory and the device is visible at the current receptacle) instead of relying solely on the reactive "Nothing happened" recovery rule.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is efficient — no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, and the Example and Key Assumptions sections earn their tokens. Minor trimming is possible: "Section 1: Skill Trigger" largely restates the frontmatter description, and steps like "Identify the device from the task description" state the obvious. That matches the 4 anchor (efficient, minor instances of over-explanation) rather than 5 (every token earns its place). | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Gives exact action formats (`go to {recep}`, `take {obj} from {recep}`, `heat {obj} with {device}`) and a fully worked Thought/Action/Observation example that is copy-paste executable. It stops short of 5 because Phase 4 prescribes `toggle {device} {recep}` for the desklamp while the worked example uses `use desklamp 1` — an inconsistency that leaves the correct action ambiguous — and only the desklamp case is exemplified. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear four-phase numbered sequence with an error-recovery feedback loop ("If the environment responds with 'Nothing happened,' re-evaluate your object/device names and your location") and an explicit co-location checkpoint. It misses 5 because validation is reactive rather than staged — there is no explicit checkpoint confirming the object is held or the agent is at the device before executing the final action. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body itself is well organized with clear section headers, but the bundle contains `references/device_location_guide.md` — a detailed device-to-receptacle lookup table explicitly written to support Phase 1 — that is never referenced anywhere in SKILL.md. Per the guideline to score against the actual bundle structure, this is a reference that is present but not signaled, and its content is only partially duplicated inline ("Search common receptacles (e.g., desks, sidetables, countertops)"). That matches the 3 anchor; it is above 2 because the body's own structure is good, and below 4 because a provided reference is undiscoverable from the overview. | 3 / 5 |
