Accuracy, yes. Conciseness could be better.

Users can analyse their own sessions, but I'm wondering if there's a feedback channel from the harness back to the skill author. Something that respects the users' privacy while still surfacing useful feedback.

While I have take snippets or ideas from others skills, I don't think serious people are using other people's skills as is. Like everything in development, everyone has their own way of doing things and our agent instructions need to reflect that uniqueness.
Have you vetted your skills for accuracy and conciseness?
Regarding harness level skill usage, that should be relatively easy for the user, as their harness should have saved the complete history of all sessions.
