85%Weight 40%Scale 1-3Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is highly actionable with executable commands, precise agent-invocation contexts, and a well-sequenced workflow featuring explicit validation and error-recovery feedback loops. Progressive disclosure is strong, with a concise overview pointing to four real one-level-deep reference files. The main weakness is conciseness: the same model-dispatch parenthetical and diagnosis-flow pointer are repeated verbatim several times.
Suggestions
Define the agent model-dispatch convention once (e.g., in the agent-invocation-guide reference) and reference it instead of repeating the full parenthetical '(see .../ensure-config.md "Dispatch convention" for fallback)' in Steps 3 and 6B.
Reference the diagnosis-flow.md document once at the start of the iterative phase rather than restating the 'Read .../diagnosis-flow.md' pointer in Steps 4, 5, 6A, and 6B.
Merge the duplicated 'For simple bugs... For complex bugs...' summary that appears in both the intro paragraph and the second paragraph into a single statement to reduce redundancy.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient and assumes Claude's competence (no primer on what a bug is), but it repeats the model-dispatch parenthetical verbatim across Steps 3, 6B and restates the diagnosis-flow pointer four times, which could be tightened to match the lean score-3 anchor. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | It gives concrete, copy-paste-ready guidance throughout: an executable `mkdir -p <plans-dir>/BUGFIX_<name>/reports` command, exact Task tool invocation contexts with named parameters, and precise file paths and templates, matching the score-3 anchor for fully executable instruction. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 0–7 are clearly sequenced, with explicit validation checkpoints (architect validation in Step 3, convergence checks in Step 4, complexity routing in Step 5, error-handling feedback loops for failed fix attempts and inconclusive investigators), fulfilling the score-3 anchor for clear sequence with feedback loops for error recovery. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The SKILL.md is an overview that signals four real one-level-deep references (agent-invocation-guide.md, diagnosis-flow.md, bugfix-plan-template.md, bug-spec-template.md, all present in references/), splitting detail appropriately and pointing to each with a clear 'Read ...' callout, matching the score-3 anchor. | 3 / 3 |
