62%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured process skill with a clear workflow and good handoff logic, but it lacks concrete examples that would make it truly actionable. The content is moderately concise but includes some sections that explain things Claude already understands (like motivational 'Good Outcomes'). The biggest gap is the absence of a worked example showing a real PRD input transformed into the output format.
Suggestions
Add a concrete worked example showing a brief PRD input and the corresponding completed output in the CAPABILITY/CONSTRAINTS/IMPLEMENTATION CONTRACT format—this would significantly boost actionability.
Remove or compress the 'Good Outcomes' section, as it describes benefits to the user rather than instructing Claude on what to do.
Move the output format template to the referenced `docs/examples/product-capability-template.md` file and keep only a brief summary inline, improving progressive disclosure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is reasonably efficient but includes some unnecessary sections like 'Good Outcomes' (Claude doesn't need motivation) and 'When to Use' is somewhat verbose with overlapping bullet points. The 'Inputs' section explains obvious things like 'read only what is needed.' However, it's not egregiously padded. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The workflow steps are clear conceptually but remain at the level of abstract guidance rather than concrete, executable instructions. There are no real examples of a completed capability plan, no sample input/output pair, and the output format template is a skeleton rather than a filled-in example. The skill describes what to produce but doesn't demonstrate it concretely. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The four-step workflow is clearly sequenced (restate → resolve constraints → define contract → translate to execution), with an explicit decision checkpoint at step 4 (ready / needs review / needs clarification). The handoff step acts as a validation gate, and the output format provides a clear checklist structure including open questions as a blocking mechanism. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill references external files like `docs/examples/product-capability-template.md` and other ECC lanes, which is good progressive disclosure. However, the main content itself is somewhat monolithic—the 'When to Use' section, 'Non-Negotiable Rules', 'Inputs', and 'Core Workflow' could benefit from tighter organization. The inline output format template could potentially be a separate reference file given its length. | 2 / 3 |
