92%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-crafted, concise, and highly actionable conventions catalog with a clear design sequence and embedded feedback loops. The one weak spot is progressive disclosure: everything lives inline in SKILL.md with no reference files, so the top-level is not kept lean as an overview.
Suggestions
Split the detailed tables (engine-selection matrix, starter-check set, anti-patterns, retirement criteria) into reference files under references/ and keep SKILL.md as a concise overview with one-level-deep links, so the top-level stays lean.
Move the 'Common anti-patterns' and 'When to retire a check' sections into a references/anti-patterns.md, clearly signaled from the overview, to reduce inline density.
Add a short 'Quick start / decision flow' section near the top that links to each detailed section, improving navigation and making the progressive-disclosure structure explicit.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean and dense with decision tables and concrete conventions; it does not explain concepts Claude already knows and every 'Why' column earns its tokens. Not the level below because there is no padding or unnecessary explanation to tighten. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, copy-paste-ready guidance - specific check names, 'freshness < 2d', severity tier behaviors, naming examples like 'not_null_orders_email', and 'meta:' owner blocks. Absence of executable code is not penalized for this instruction-only catalog, per the scoring notes. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Presents a clear design sequence (engine selection -> column checks -> table checks -> severity -> freshness -> naming -> retirement) with embedded feedback loops such as check-health retirement criteria and 'land new checks at warn for two cycles, then promote'. Not a destructive/batch context requiring validation gates. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The ~120-line SKILL.md holds the entire catalog inline with no bundle or reference files, so it is the full content rather than an overview pointing to detailed materials. The 'under 50 lines with no need for external references' exemption does not apply here, so well-organized sections alone do not reach 3. Not the level below because the body is well-sectioned with a clear intro and no nested/deep references. | 2 / 3 |
