85%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 concise, well-structured instruction body for a simple navigation skill, with a clear single-action workflow and explicit failure guidance. The main gap is progressive disclosure: two bundle reference files exist but are never mentioned in the body, so their content is undiscoverable.
Suggestions
Link the bundle files from the body, e.g. under a References section: "Action format and naming rules: see [action_primer.md](references/action_primer.md); derivation context: see [trajectory_analysis.md](references/trajectory_analysis.md)".
Make the validation step concrete: specify how to check the target (e.g., confirm the exact target name appears in the current observation text before issuing the action).
In the failure note, replace the vague 'replan its path' with the concrete recovery step from the primer: re-examine the observation for the exact target name and retry.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | At ~15 lines the body is lean with no concept explanations or padding: the Input section gives concrete examples ("toiletpaperhanger 1", "toilet 1"), the Process is three terse steps, and each Note (visibility requirement, navigation-only scope, failure handling) is actionable. The only near-redundancy is the opening line restating the description, which is not enough to drop below 'every token earns its place'. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | The core instruction is executable — "executes the `go to {target}` action" with concrete example target names — but step 1 ("validates the target location against the current environment observation") and the failure note ("may need to replan its path or verify the target name") describe what to do without specifying how. This fits 'mostly executable guidance with minor gaps' rather than the fully copy-paste-ready anchor at 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | This is a simple single-purpose skill and the single action is unambiguous: validate target, execute `go to {target}`, return the observation. The failure path is addressed explicitly ("If the action fails (e.g., 'Nothing happened'), the agent may need to replan its path or verify the target name"), and the operation is neither destructive nor batch, so the validation cap does not apply. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body itself is well organized with clear sections, but the bundle contains references/action_primer.md and references/trajectory_analysis.md and neither is referenced or signaled anywhere in the body — useful content there (exact object-naming rules, failure causes) is invisible to a reader of SKILL.md and partially duplicated in the Notes. This matches 'references present but not clearly signaled'; it does not reach 4 because the existing references are entirely unlinked, not just imperfectly placed. | 3 / 5 |
