86%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 a well-structured, highly actionable methodology: concrete classification tables, sequenced steps with honesty rules, an exact output contract, and a worked example, with the bulk of the item catalog correctly offloaded to a one-level-deep reference. The only deductions are mild repetition of the not-a-sign-off caveat and the absence of an explicit classification re-check step.
Suggestions
Consolidate the 'not established by this checklist' caveat to the Output format item and the worked example; the Overview, Differentiation axis, and Anti-patterns repeats of the same point can be trimmed to a single cross-reference.
Add an explicit Step 5 verification checkpoint, e.g. 're-read the changed files for content signals that contradict the path-based classification before emitting the checklist', to close the workflow validation gap.
Tighten the ASVS level definitions in 'Which ASVS version this uses' to the one-sentence default rule (Level 1, escalate to Level 2 for credential/session-token changes) and drop the quoted level descriptions.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Nearly every section carries non-obvious domain data (ASVS requirement IDs, WSTG section mappings, tagging gotchas), and version-sensitive material is quarantined in a dedicated version section and Limitations. Minor trimmable fat remains: the 'not a sign-off' caveat repeats across five places, and the ASVS level definitions are discursive, so it sits just below the lean-every-token-earns-its-place anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | For an instruction-only skill the guidance is fully executable: a concrete classification table with path and content signals, per-surface ASVS chapters, a seven-part output format spec, a fully rendered worked example showing the exact output, and an anti-patterns table with correct behavior — copy-paste-ready shape covering the common case. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 1–4 are clearly sequenced with a built-in correction mechanism ("path first, content second", content signals override path) and explicit exclusion bookkeeping, and no destructive/batch cap applies. It stops short of the top anchor because there is no explicit final re-verification pass confirming the surface classification before emitting the checklist. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Scored against the actual bundle: SKILL.md is a clear overview, and the single reference (references/per-surface-test-items.md, verified to exist) is well-signaled in Step 4, exactly one level deep, and appropriately split — Authentication stays inline as the worked example of item shape while the other eight surfaces live in the reference, matching the clear-overview anchor. | 5 / 5 |
