78%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 is highly actionable with exact commands and a worked example, and the workflow is clearly sequenced with decision points. Its main weakness is progressive disclosure: an existing reference file (common_sense_locations.md) is not signaled or linked from the body, so the skill fails to route Claude to the candidate-list guidance it describes.
Suggestions
Add a one-line pointer to references/common_sense_locations.md in the Workflow or a References section, e.g. 'Build the candidate_receptacles list using common-sense priorities (see references/common_sense_locations.md).'
De-duplicate Key Rules against the Workflow — fold 'search candidates in order' and 'close after checking' into the steps and keep only net-new rules there.
Strengthen the 'Nothing happened' feedback loop into an explicit verify-then-retry sub-procedure with a stop condition to push workflow clarity higher.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean with no over-explanation of concepts Claude already knows; the Workflow, Action Format, and Example sections all earn their place. Not a 5 because the Key Rules section restates steps already in the Workflow (close after checking, search in order) and the example is somewhat long. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Gives exact executable alfworld commands (`go to {receptacle}`, `open {receptacle}`, `close {receptacle}`, `take {object} from {receptacle}`) and a fully worked example with real commands, observations, and concrete 'Nothing happened' retry guidance covering the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 6-step numbered sequence with explicit decision points (open if closed, stop when found, close and continue when not, report when exhausted) plus a 'Nothing happened' recovery hint. Not a 5 because the error-recovery feedback loop is thin (verify name and retry) rather than a full validate-fix-retry cycle. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Sections are well-organized for a simple skill, but a bundle file exists (references/common_sense_locations.md) that is never referenced or linked from the body — the canonical 'references present but not clearly signaled' case. Not a 4 because an existing reference file going unmentioned is more than a minor organization gap. | 3 / 5 |
