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 highly actionable, with a clearly sequenced workflow, an explicit verify-against-source feedback loop, and clean one-level-deep progressive disclosure via output-shapes.md. The main weakness is conciseness: the motivational Overview and the PractiTest citation are skippable context that pad the token budget.
Suggestions
Trim the Overview's motivational first paragraph and drop the PractiTest '2026 State of Testing' citation; lead with the capability and the parser-vs-narrative distinction instead of market context.
Remove or relocate the time-sensitive '2026 State of Testing Report' reference to the References section rather than spending tokens on it in the Overview.
Compress the two Overview paragraphs into one sentence stating the gap this skill closes, since the 'How to use' steps already convey the operational shape.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly dense and operational (tables for inputs, the six metrics, output shapes, and anti-patterns), but the Overview's motivational paragraph and the PractiTest '2026 State of Testing' citation are unnecessary context Claude does not need to execute. Not level 3 because not every token earns its place; not level 1 because the bulk is lean rather than padded explanation of basics. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides a 6-metric table with precise definitions (e.g., pass rate = passed/(passed+failed), skipped excluded), four named output shapes, and a fully worked example with real numbers plus a rendered markdown output and audit table. Not level 2 because the worked example and metric definitions are concrete and complete, not pseudocode. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 4-step sequence (Ingest -> Compute -> Fill template -> Verify) with an explicit validation checkpoint ('Verify every numeric claim against the source before emitting') and a feedback loop (audit table; flag [unsourced - supply baseline] rather than inventing). Not level 2 because the validation checkpoints are explicit and elaborated, not merely implicit. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Keeps the overview inline and pushes the full per-shape templates to references/output-shapes.md (verified present), a clearly signaled one-level-deep reference with no nested chaining. Not level 2 because the split is clean and navigation is easy rather than content that should be separate being left inline. | 3 / 3 |
