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.
The body delivers fully executable, well-validated guidance with an excellent worked example and an appropriately externalized reference file, but it pays a token-efficiency tax by stating the same three-step flow three times across Purpose/Core Logic/Instructions and duplicating the invalid-target handling. Trimming the redundancy would make an already lean skill near-optimal.
Suggestions
Merge 'Core Logic' and 'Instructions' into a single section — steps 1–4 of Instructions restate Input Parsing/Action Execution/Success Verification almost verbatim, so one sequenced list with the 'Nothing happened' fallback would cut ~10 lines with no information loss.
Consolidate the duplicate invalid-target guidance: Instructions step 3 and the 'Invalid Target' bullet under Error Handling say the same thing; keep one (the Error Handling version, which adds the re-analysis advice) and drop the other.
Consider folding the 'Already at Location' edge case into the main instruction sequence so all validation checkpoints live in one workflow rather than being split between two sections.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is short and free of concept over-explanation, but it is structurally redundant: "Core Logic" (Input Parsing → Action Execution → Success Verification) and "Instructions" (steps 1–4) restate the same three steps, and the "Invalid Target" bullet in Error Handling repeats Instructions step 3. This fits the 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' anchor — more than minor trimming is needed for a 4, but there is no padding or explanation of things Claude already knows for a 2. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is fully executable: the literal action format `go to {target_receptacle}`, a worked example with real observation text ("go to fridge 1" → "You are at fridge 1. On the fridge 1, you see nothing."), and a concrete fallback pointer to `references/common_receptacles.md`. For an instruction-only skill this is copy-paste-ready and covers the common cases, matching the top anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The sequence is clear with explicit validation ("Confirm the action was successful by checking the observation for evidence of arrival") and a genuine feedback loop ("If the environment responds with 'Nothing happened'... formulate a new `go to` target"), plus the already-at-location edge case. As a simple single-purpose, non-destructive skill with an unambiguous action, it meets the simple-skill exception's bar for a 5; it is above the level-4 anchor because validation and error recovery are explicit, not implicit. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is well-organized into clear sections and holds a single one-level-deep reference, `references/common_receptacles.md`, which exists in the bundle and is appropriately externalized (a ~20-line receptacle lookup list) and signaled in Instructions step 3. Nothing that belongs in a separate file is inlined, matching the clear-overview anchor. | 5 / 5 |
