96%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.
An exceptionally well-crafted guided-setup skill: lean, fully actionable, with a clearly sequenced workflow, per-step failure handling, consent checkpoints, and a doctor-based validation loop. The only weakness is that the key tessl.json entry reference (triggers.md) is nested two hops deep behind starters.md rather than linked directly.
Suggestions
Link references/triggers.md directly from SKILL.md (e.g. in step 7, where tessl.json entries are written) so the core entry reference is one level deep instead of reachable only via starters.md.
Consider a one-line 'Further reference' note in step 4 or the Plain-words section pointing to linear.md for the Linear ticket workflow, since SKILL.md currently gives no path to it.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and imperative throughout with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows — the merge-commit heuristic ("Merge commits mean work arrives through pull requests") is task-specific inference guidance, not a git tutorial, and the Plain-words table maps Tessl jargon rather than explaining generic concepts. Every step carries a concrete instruction, matching anchor 5. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is fully executable: concrete commands with expected JSON fields (`tessl project repair --json` → `linkedProject.workspaceName`, `tessl org list --json` → `credits.state`, `gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/rules/branches/<default branch>`), an exact branch name (`setup-tessl-factory`), and exact questions to ask the user ("Do you want to go ahead?", "Is this what you want?"). This matches the copy-paste-ready anchor 5. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The nine numbered steps are clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints and error-recovery branches at each preflight item ("If it fails, ask the user to run `tessl login`"). Consent gates ("Stop if they say no", "Change nothing without asking") and the `tessl doctor --automations` fix-what-it-reports loop provide the feedback loops anchor 5 requires for a state-changing workflow. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Structure is good: the body stays at overview altitude, starters/customize/testing are well-signaled at their point of need, and detailed content (the 148-line triggers reference) is correctly externalized. However, the core payload `triggers.md` (and `linear.md`) is reachable only via a second hop through `starters.md`, while the rubric wants references one level deep from SKILL.md — a minor organization gap that fits anchor 4 rather than 5. | 4 / 5 |
