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.
A highly actionable, well-sequenced orchestration skill with strong validation checkpoints and good progressive disclosure via the bundled debate-protocol reference. Its only weakness is verbosity — the matrix and spawn-prompt detail could be trimmed for token efficiency.
Suggestions
Tighten the Step 3 team-composition matrix: the eight rows repeat '1 architect + 1 UX specialist' patterns that could be expressed as a compact rule (e.g., 'base = architects by scope; add UX when UI; add security when sensitive') to cut roughly half the table.
Compress the Step 4 per-teammate spawn-prompt bullets: the architect/UX/security blocks share a common skeleton (feature idea, pattern docs, role instructions, greenfield add-ons) that could be stated once with a short per-role delta rather than three near-parallel lists.
Move the long greenfield-context bullet groups (Steps 1b, 4, 6) into the existing greenfield-loading reference or a dedicated greenfield section, since they only activate conditionally and inflate the always-loaded body.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~310-line body avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows, but the team-composition matrix and the per-teammate spawn-prompt bullet lists are granular enough that several sections could be tightened without losing clarity. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Gives concrete, executable guidance throughout: 'echo $CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS', the settings.json env snippet, regex 'F-\d{3}', 'mkdir -p <specs-dir>/', and exact AskUserQuestion option text — copy-paste ready for an instruction skill. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are explicitly sequenced (1, 1b, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5b, 6) with validation checkpoints — Agent Teams availability check, 'Proceed?' confirmation, debate convergence criteria, >4-round escalation, and a dedicated Error Handling section with fallbacks. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The heavy debate rules are offloaded to a real one-level-deep reference ('Read ... references/debate-protocol.md', which exists in the bundle) with an explicit 'Do not duplicate them' instruction, and the body is organized into clear Prerequisites/Workflow/Error Handling sections. | 3 / 3 |
