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.
A tight, highly actionable instruction skill: exact environment commands, a worked example with expected output, and an explicit verification step. Its weaknesses are triple repetition of the same commands across three sections, a missing failure-recovery loop after verification, and an unreferenced bundle file (action_primer.md) that the body never points to.
Suggestions
Add a pointer to the bundle reference, e.g. under Key Actions: "For the full set of supporting environment actions (examine, focus on, connect, wait1), see [references/action_primer.md](references/action_primer.md)" — currently the file is orphaned with no navigation from the body.
Consolidate the duplication between Core Workflow, the Key Actions table, and the Example: either drop the Key Actions table (its rows restate the workflow steps verbatim) or keep the table and shorten the Example to the command sequence only.
Add an error-recovery step after verification, e.g. "If `look at` shows the object is not in the container, re-run `move OBJ to OBJ` and verify again" — this would supply the feedback loop the workflow currently lacks.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence with no basic-concept padding, but the same three commands (`pick up OBJ`, `move OBJ to OBJ`, `look at`) appear in both the Core Workflow and the Key Actions table, and then again in the Example — trimmable duplication. Not 5 because that repetition could be consolidated; not 3 because the excess is minor and localized. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Commands are exact and executable in the target environment (`pick up metal pot`, `move metal pot to blue box`, `look at <CONTAINER>`), and the worked example includes the expected confirmation output ("In the blue box is: a metal pot"), making it copy-paste ready for the common case. Nothing is pseudocode or left abstract. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The four-step sequence is clear and includes an explicit validation checkpoint ("Verify Placement: `look at <CONTAINER>`" reinforced by "Always verify placement with `look at` — do not assume success"). It is not 5 because there is no error-recovery feedback loop — no guidance on what to do if the move fails or the object is absent from the container after verification. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body itself is well-organized with clear sections and is under 50 lines, but the bundle contains `references/action_primer.md` which is never referenced or signaled anywhere in the body — an orphaned reference with no navigation path. Per the bundle-structure guideline this matches anchor 3 ("references present but not clearly signaled"); not 2 because the body structure is good and content is not inlined that belongs elsewhere. | 3 / 5 |
