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.
The body is highly actionable — exact commands, expected system responses, and worked transcripts — with a clear workflow and an explicit readiness checkpoint. Its weaknesses are redundancy (Purpose/When-to-Use/Key Principles overlap, a duplicative second example) and an orphaned bundle file: references/action_primer.md exists but is never referenced from SKILL.md.
Suggestions
Reduce redundancy: merge Purpose and When-to-Use into one short section, trim Key Principles to only non-obvious guidance (e.g., drop 'Validate immediately after acquisition' and the teleport note, which restate the Workflow), and cut or compress Example 2 since it repeats Example 1's validation flow with only a different tool.
Signal the bundle: add a clearly labeled reference to references/action_primer.md (e.g., an 'Advanced actions' note linking to it) so the primer's examine/look-at distinctions and tool-location guidance are discoverable instead of partially duplicated inline.
Add an error-recovery step to the Workflow: specify what to do when the focus-on response is an error (e.g., re-acquire the tool, try 'examine [TOOL]', or fall back to locating a replacement) so the validation checkpoint has a feedback loop.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Purpose and When-to-Use largely restate the frontmatter, Example 2 duplicates Example 1's validation flow with only a different tool, and Key Principles repeats Workflow/Examples content ("Validate immediately after acquisition", "Use 'teleport to'"). Mostly efficient but with several redundant sections that could be tightened, matching the 3 anchor rather than the minor-trim 4. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands ("focus on [TOOL] in inventory", "pick up [TOOL]", "use thermometer on [TARGET]") plus two complete transcripts showing exact inputs and expected system responses ("You focus on the thermometer."). The concrete expected-response string makes the readiness criterion unambiguous. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear four-step sequence with an explicit validation checkpoint ("A successful response ('You focus on the [TOOL].') confirms the tool is operational") and a simple-skill structure. Held below 5 because the error branch ("unless an error is observed") gives no recovery guidance — no feedback loop for what to do when validation fails. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The bundle provides references/action_primer.md, but the body never links or mentions it, so the reference is unsignaled and its content (examine/look at distinctions, container assumptions, teleport note) partially duplicates Key Principles inline instead of being delegated. Sections are well organized, but the un-navigated reference file fits the 3 anchor ('references present but not clearly signaled') rather than the 4. | 3 / 5 |
