68%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 dense, well-structured reference skill with concrete code examples and actionable failure/anti-pattern tables. Its main weakness is workflow clarity: there is no explicit authoring workflow with validation checkpoints or a feedback loop tying implementation to axe-a11y verification.
Suggestions
Add an explicit numbered authoring workflow ending in a validation checkpoint, e.g. 'identify the widget -> match an APG pattern -> implement required roles/states/keyboard -> verify with axe-a11y -> re-check against the Common ARIA failures table'.
Frame the existing axe-a11y reference as a concrete verification step (a validate-then-fix feedback loop) rather than only a 'When to use' scenario, to lift workflow clarity above 3.
Consider moving the per-pattern essentials for the remaining 27 patterns into a references/ file (one level deep) so the SKILL.md overview stays lean while keeping full actionability available on demand.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly lean and table/code-driven with little explanation of concepts Claude already knows, but the 'first rule of ARIA' blockquote and some editorial table commentary could be trimmed slightly. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Copy-paste-ready HTML examples for Combobox, Tabs, Disclosure, and Tooltip plus concrete 'Fix' columns in failure tables, but only 4 of the 31 patterns receive full code examples. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The document structure implies a sensible sequence (identify pattern, implement roles/states/keyboard, check failures) but there are no explicit validation checkpoints or a validate-fix-retry feedback loop, even though axe-a11y verification is mentioned only as a use case. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized into clear sections with one-level-deep, clearly signaled external references (APG URL, WAI-ARIA spec, sibling skills); no bundle files exist, and the single-file quick-reference layout is appropriate, though per-pattern details are all inlined rather than split into reference files. | 4 / 5 |
