86%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 well-structured, highly actionable skill body: sequenced steps with executable commands, a useful anti-patterns table, and proper use of one-level-deep reference files for bulky content. The main gaps are mild verbosity (repeated per-source citation phrases, a redundant end References section) and missing post-scan validation/feedback checkpoints in the workflow.
Suggestions
Trim the repeated "Per [cli reference][cli]" / "Per [filter docs][filter]" citation phrases — cite each source once (e.g., in the References section) instead of prefixing nearly every section and code block.
Add a validation checkpoint after Step 2 (e.g., confirm the expected number of findings or inspect trivy.json with jq) and a brief triage/retry loop so failed gating runs have an explicit recovery path.
Drop or compress the end-of-file References blurbs that restate what the inline link definitions already say, keeping only the pointers not already cited inline (e.g., the tfsec references and sister checkov-policy skill).
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is largely lean (commands, flag tables, minimal prose), but has minor trim opportunities: the "Per [cli reference][cli]" citation phrase repeats roughly nine times, the closing References section restates what each already-linked doc covers, and version/date pins ("v0.72.0 (latest as of 2026-06-30)") sit in a Pinned versions section rather than a deprecated/old-patterns section. Level 4 ("minor instances of over-explanation") fits better than level 5, whose 'every token earns its place' bar these repetitions miss. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is copy-paste ready throughout: "brew install trivy", "trivy config --exit-code 1 --severity HIGH,CRITICAL .", a complete .trivyignore.yaml block, "--template "@contrib/junit.tpl"", and a working Rego ignore policy, covering the common cases for each step. Level 4's "minor gaps" does not apply — the executable examples span install, scan, gate, format, suppress, customize, and CI. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 1–7 are clearly sequenced (Install → First scan → Severity gating → Output formats → Suppression → Custom policies → CI) with an explicit "Verify: `trivy --version`" checkpoint and an Anti-patterns table of failure modes, but there is no validation of scan output after the first scan and no error-recovery feedback loop, which keeps it below the level-5 anchor. Scanning is read-only, so the destructive/batch cap at 3 does not apply. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a lean spine with heavy blocks (full GitHub Actions YAML, full Rego policy with METADATA) split into references/trivy-config.md behind explicit "see [references/trivy-config.md]" signals; all three bundle files (trivy-config.md, tfsec-legacy.md, tfsec-custom-rules-and-ci.md) exist and are reachable one level deep from the body, with an annotated References section for navigation. The tfsec-legacy.md → tfsec-custom-rules-and-ci.md cross-link is redundant but not burying, so the level-5 anchor still fits. | 5 / 5 |
