85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is a tightly structured, highly actionable run protocol with strong workflow sequencing, validation checkpoints, and clean one-level reference disclosure. Its main weakness is conciseness: the extensive source-cited rationale prose explains concepts and motivations Claude already understands and could be condensed without losing the executable guidance.
Suggestions
Trim the justificatory prose in 'Why this protocol is strict', Gate 1, and the 'Abort criteria are written before injection' section to the one sentence that ties the rule to its consequence, moving fuller rationale into a reference file.
Condense the 'The load argument' paragraph and blast-radius table into the table plus a single sentence, since the arithmetic (1/(1-f)) is self-evident once the table is shown.
Move the conventions-vs-standards notes (10-second sampling, 'baseline plus 10%', five-minute timeout) that are repeated across Stage 3, Stage 4, and Limitations into a single reference table to avoid restating the same caveat three times.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is well-organized and mostly actionable, but it spends substantial tokens justifying each rule with cited rationale (e.g. paragraphs explaining error budgets, golden signals, and why a threshold gets 'renegotiated in the moment') that Claude largely already knows and could be trimmed. It earns 2 rather than 3 because there is clear padding beyond the executable protocol, but it is not a wall of vague concept exposition so it stays above 1. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | For an instruction-only skill the guidance is concrete and copy-paste ready: a pre-filled drill-contract table, per-gate pass/fail conditions, abort-criterion shapes with dwell times, a recovery-checks table, verdict definitions, and a full markdown output-record template. This matches the score-3 anchor of specific, executable guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear four-stage sequence (pre-flight gates -> blast-radius -> live monitoring/abort -> recovery validation) with explicit pass/fail validation checkpoints, a gate-summary table, and feedback loops ('A failed gate is fixed and the drill is rescheduled'; 'Never run the next drill from an unrecovered state'). For this destructive fault-injection context the validation is emphatic, satisfying score 3. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The SKILL.md is an overview that points to three real, one-level-deep reference files — references/golden-signals.md, references/worked-example.md, and references/anti-patterns.md (all verified to exist) — each clearly signaled with link text describing its contents. Detail is appropriately split out rather than inlined, matching the score-3 anchor. | 3 / 3 |
