77%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 workflow with strong validation and feedback loops, but it is a long, largely monolithic document whose Step 5a upgrade-gate logic and repeated dispatch-fallback notes could be extracted into a reference file and tightened.
Suggestions
Extract the Step 5a complex-phase-upgrade-gate logic (profile detection, two-tier preference lookup, gate/follow-up prompts) into a dedicated reference file (e.g. references/upgrade-gate.md) and summarize it in SKILL.md to improve both conciseness and progressive disclosure.
De-duplicate the '.arness/agent-models/code.md' dispatch-fallback note by defining the dispatch convention once (e.g. in a Prerequisites or Conventions section) and referencing it from Steps 3.5, 4, and 5b.
Tighten Step 3.5 by collapsing the four severity branches into a compact decision table so the drift-handling logic reads in fewer tokens.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient and free of concept-padding Claude already knows, but it runs ~275 lines with verbatim repetition (the '.arness/agent-models/code.md' dispatch-fallback note appears in Steps 3.5 and 5b) and an elaborate Step 5a preference-lookup block that could be tightened, fitting the 'could be tightened' anchor at 2 rather than the every-token-earns-its-place anchor at 3. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable guidance — literal copy-paste Task-tool context blocks, exact output file paths, explicit severity branches, and exact AskUserQuestion option text — matching the copy-paste-ready anchor at 3 rather than the pseudocode/gap anchor at 2. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 1–6 are clearly sequenced with an explicit verification checkpoint (Step 3.5 drift detection) and feedback loops (Step 5/5b resume plus fresh-agent fallback), satisfying the clear-sequence-with-validation anchor at 3; no destructive-op cap applies. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Headers are well-organized and it points one level deep to a couple of plugin files (ensure-config.md, preferences-schema.md), but the bulk — especially Step 5a's ~60-line upgrade-gate protocol — is inline rather than split into a reference, fitting the 'content that should be separate is inline' anchor at 2. | 2 / 3 |
