What does this even mean? It looks like typical LLM bloviation to me: 'skill design discipline', 'stronger descriptions' and 'lighter defaults'??!? This is meaningless pablum masquerading as advice.

What specifically would this cause you to actually do to improve the skills in question? How would you measure that improvement in a non hand-wavy way? What do these scores mean and how were they calculated?

Or perhaps you would ask your LLM how it would improve these skills? It will of course some up with some changes, but are they the right changes and how would you know?

Great points, but I imagine it's a bit too heavy on the rigorousness requirement for the LLM crowd. The folks are high on this stuff and I am beginning to notice it's like trying to get a heavy pothead or crackhead of off their stuff. Don't you see it - if you just wave your hands a lot, and tell the LLM to be serious about it, the scores will just appear :) It's true in their own frame of reference.

It’s all vibes based, we are not trying to be scientific here. /s

I discard most LLM advice and skills because either a script is better (as the work is routine enough) or it could be expressed better with bullet points (generating tickets).
