This is a high-quality skill that provides clear, actionable guidance for creating CodeTour files. It excels at conciseness (tables, compact examples), actionability (real JSON for every step type), and workflow clarity (explicit validation steps with 'never guess line numbers'). The only minor weakness is that all content is inline rather than split across files, though the length is borderline and the organization is strong enough to mitigate this.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient throughout. It assumes Claude's competence (no explanation of what JSON is, what CodeTour is at a basic level, etc.), uses tables for compact information delivery, and every section earns its place. The SMIG acronym and persona table pack a lot of guidance into minimal tokens. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully concrete JSON examples for every step type (file+line, selection, pattern, directory, URI, content-only), a complete tour example, specific file path conventions (.tours/<persona>-<focus>.tour), and exact step count ranges per persona. Everything is copy-paste ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 5-step workflow (Discover → Infer reader → Read and verify anchors → Write → Validate) is clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints. Step 3 emphasizes 'Never guess line numbers' and Step 5 provides a concrete validation checklist including file existence, line validity, and narrative coherence. The feedback loop of verify-before-write and validate-after-write is well-defined. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is well-organized with clear sections and tables, but it's all inline in a single file. At ~180 lines with detailed step type examples, the step types reference section and the full example could potentially be split into a separate reference file. However, the content is well-structured with headers making navigation easy. References to related skills are present but minimal. | 2 / 3 |
