92%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 dense, highly actionable audit workflow with a fixed output schema, real runnable assertion templates, an explicit verify-before-report feedback loop, and a clean two-file reference bundle. The only weakness is mild token redundancy from restating the process and the Axis-B mandate in multiple forms.
Suggestions
Drop the mermaid flowchart (9 nodes that restate the linear prose process) or drop the duplicated prose — one representation of the sequence is enough.
Consolidate the Axis-B-is-mandatory message: it currently appears in the 'baseline failure' paragraph, the 'Generated assertions' section, and the Common Mistakes table; stating it once prominently would save tokens without losing the emphasis.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly lean — dense tables, no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, every section adds skill-specific content ("exit 0=confident, 10=abstain→AI", the abstain caller idiom). Minor trimmable redundancy: the mermaid flowchart restates the prose process, and Axis-B-mandatory is repeated in the "baseline failure" paragraph, the assertions section, and the Common Mistakes table. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable guidance: a fixed output schema with a worked findings row and exact YAML block, a real runnable promptfoo template (verified present at references/promptfoo-template.yaml), bats test examples, and the concrete verification command "run `promptfoo eval -c determinism.promptfooconfig.yaml`" with the failure-recovery instruction. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The process is explicitly sequenced (Parse → Read → Scan both axes → classify → generate assertions → emit fixed-schema report → ROI rank → write config → run config) with an explicit validation checkpoint and feedback loop: "If a test fails, fix the assertion (or the underlying Axis B fix) until all pass, then report ROI." The Common Mistakes table doubles as a checklist for failure modes. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is an overview that clearly signals one-level-deep references — "Full catalog (9 patterns + severity/effort rubric + bats template): [references/pattern-catalog.md]" and "The `determinism.promptfooconfig.yaml` template lives in [references/promptfoo-template.yaml]" — and both files exist in the bundle and contain exactly the promised content, with the seven most common patterns summarized inline for quick use. | 5 / 5 |
