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 well-structured, highly actionable process skill: a sequenced 5-step workflow with explicit closure gates, a fillable section skeleton, and a complete worked example. Its only weakness is conciseness — the Google SRE blameless framing is quoted and restated several times, which adds tokens without adding new guidance.
Suggestions
Collapse the repeated Google SRE blockquotes: state the blameless principle once in the Overview and reference it from Step 2 / Anti-patterns rather than quoting 'Blameless postmortems are a tenet of SRE culture' and 'not punishment' verbatim in multiple sections.
Trim the Overview's three consecutive SRE blockquotes to one defining quote plus a single sentence on the blameless framing, since Claude already understands SRE postmortem culture.
Consolidate the redundantly stated 'what, not who' guidance (Overview, Step 1 item 5, Step 2, Anti-patterns) into one canonical statement referenced elsewhere.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient but repeats conceptual justification Claude already knows — the Google SRE 'Blameless postmortems are a tenet of SRE culture' / 'not punishment' framing is quoted four times (Overview, Step 2, Anti-patterns, References) and the blameless principle is restated across multiple sections. Not level 3 because the repeated SRE blockquotes and restated framing are tokens that do not each earn their place; not level 1 because it does not pad with basic explanations of what a post-mortem or library is. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Concrete and copy-paste ready: a fill-every-section skeleton, explicit action-item fields (Owner / Due date / Priority / Success criterion), a fully worked INC-1234 example with real Timeline and Action-items tables, and a storage directory layout — matching the 'fully executable... specific examples' anchor adapted to an instruction-only skill. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 5-step sequence (Author → Blameless review → Action item discipline → Approval + closure → Storage) with explicit gates: 'The post-mortem isn't "done" until' sign-off checklist and 'closed when all action items ship', plus Step 2's reject-blame-language before/after as a review checkpoint. Matches the 'clear sequence with explicit validation steps' anchor; the post-mortem is not a destructive/batch operation so the strict validate-fix-retry cap does not apply. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Overview body points to a single, clearly-signaled one-level reference — 'Copy the full section skeleton from references/post-mortem-document-template.md' (verified to exist) — with the worked example kept inline for illustration. Well-organized sections and easy navigation match the 'clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references' anchor. | 3 / 3 |
