75%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.
The content is a well-structured, actionable instruction-only skill with clear sequencing, explicit discipline checkpoints, and appropriate offloading of fillable templates to two real reference files. It is efficient but slightly discursive in places, and validation is framed as rules rather than runnable feedback loops.
Suggestions
Trim a few editorial rationale sentences (e.g. 'the single most damaging lie a postmortem can tell') to tighten conciseness without losing the anti-pattern signal.
Inline one small filled-in example (e.g. a sample impact/blast-radius table row or a frontmatter instance) so the most common sections are copy-paste ready without opening the template.
Make the verification step more explicit as a feedback loop — e.g. a short 'before committing: confirm every number cites a source, the finding-id is frozen, and action items have owners' checklist.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is largely lean and assumes Claude's competence — it explains postmortem discipline and anti-patterns rather than generic concepts — but a few rationale sentences ('the single most damaging lie a postmortem can tell', telemetry-retention editorializing) could be trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete guidance throughout: exact path format, a YAML frontmatter block, a severity enum with mapping table, and per-section discipline (mechanism-not-symptom, 5 whys, discarded hypotheses, palliative vs root fix); the gap is that filled-in examples live in the referenced templates rather than inline. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear ordered spine runs from 'when to write' through 11 numbered sections to 'after writing', with discipline checkpoints (cite every source, freeze the finding-id, label hypotheses); validation is rule-based rather than a runnable validate-fix-retry loop, leaving a minor gap. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | SKILL.md is an overview that clearly signals two real one-level-deep reference templates (full-template.md, quick-template.md), with the fillable structure offloaded to them; the minor gap is that the 11-section discipline is fully inlined rather than partly deferred to those templates. | 4 / 5 |
