81%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 strong, well-sequenced interpretation workflow with concrete decision rules, hard stops, and a fully worked example; actionability and workflow clarity are exemplary. The main weaknesses are token cost from concept re-explanations and citation padding, plus two bundle files that are orphaned from the main skill file.
Suggestions
Cut or compress the definitional explanations of concepts Claude already knows (Simpson's paradox definition, what a 95% CI means, novelty/primacy definitions in Step 3) into one-line operational cues, saving ~30 lines.
Replace the nine repeated inline citation parentheticals and three ISBN mentions with a single attribution block in the References section.
Link references/significance-anti-patterns.md and references/significance-output-example.md from SKILL.md (e.g., from Step 1/2 or the References section) so they are discoverable.

Conciseness | The body re-explains concepts Claude already knows — "Simpson's paradox is when 'a trend appears in several groups of data but disappears or reverses when the groups are combined'", "A 95% confidence interval gives the plausible range of the true effect", and the novelty/primacy definitions — and pads with repeated citation parentheticals ("(Nielsen Norman Group, [sources](references/sources.md))" appears 9 times; the Kohavi ISBN three times). Mostly efficient operational tables and checklists, so this fits anchor 3 rather than anchor 2's padded prose, but it could clearly be tightened. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete decision rules throughout: the CI-position table ("Entirely above zero and above MPSE | Strong positive - candidate for ship"), specific thresholds ("Minimum run time: two full weeks", "a negative segment that represents > 20% of users"), an ordered guardrail procedure with explicit stop conditions, and a fully worked numeric example ("lift = +1.2pp (95% CI: +0.3pp, +2.1pp)") covering the common case. For an instruction-only skill this is copy-paste-ready guidance; the statistical computation details are properly delegated to references/significance-check.md rather than missing. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Six steps in explicit order with an enforced gate — "Each step has a hard stop: if a step blocks, do not proceed to the next" — plus a numbered guardrail check with "(STOP - no-ship)" checkpoints and recovery paths ("extend experiment", "accepted risk + rationale"), and a worked example that walks the same sequence. Matches anchor 5's explicit validation steps, feedback loops, and checklists; this is an analysis/decision skill, so the destructive/batch cap does not apply. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Good structure with clearly signaled one-level-deep links (references/significance-check.md, references/guardrails.md, references/peeking.md, references/thresholds-and-corrections.md, references/sources.md) and a References section. However, two real bundle files — references/significance-anti-patterns.md and references/significance-output-example.md — are never referenced from SKILL.md, a discoverability gap, and the ~300-line body inlines some methodology detail (Step 3 novelty detection, Step 6 anti-pattern table) that could live in references. Fits anchor 4's 'minor organization gaps', not 5. | 4 / 5 |
