85%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.
The body is a well-sequenced, highly actionable workflow with explicit consent validation, comprehensive error-recovery paths, and proper delegation of detail to two real reference files. It is only held back from top marks by minor repetition of the local-file fallback details and small execution gaps around issue title and body construction.
Suggestions
State the issue-title convention explicitly (e.g., "[arn-code-report] <short summary from user_description>") so Step 6 needs no improvisation.
Show how to pass the multi-line issue body safely (e.g., write the draft to a temp file and use `gh issue create --body-file`), since `--body "<body>"` breaks on large markdown bodies.
Consolidate the local-file fallback (filename, location, and when to use it) into one place — e.g., the Error Handling section — and reference it from Steps 3, 5, and 6 to remove the repeated `arness-code-report-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md` blocks.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is efficient and assumes Claude's competence — no concept explanations, just workflow steps with concrete commands. Minor trimming is possible: the local-file fallback "arness-code-report-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md" is repeated in Step 3, Step 5, Step 6, and Error Handling, and reading `## Arness` from CLAUDE.md appears in both Step 0 and Step 3. This fits anchor 4 (efficient with minor instances that could be trimmed) rather than anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is mostly executable: concrete commands like `gh auth status`, `git -C ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} remote get-url origin`, `bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/arn-code-ensure-config/scripts/plugin-version.sh`, and `gh issue create --repo <owner/repo> --title "<title>" --body "<body>" --label "arn-code-report"`, plus exact agent-dispatch and fallback filenames. Minor gaps remain — the title is never specified and passing a large multi-line body via `--body "<body>"` is fragile in practice without a heredoc/temp-file note — so it sits just below the fully copy-paste-ready anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The seven steps (Step 0 through Step 6) are clearly numbered and sequenced, with an explicit validation checkpoint ("present the full report draft and obtain explicit user consent before submitting", `gh auth status` check) and genuine feedback loops for error recovery (label missing → "retry without `--label`"; submission fails → save locally; agent fails → minimal issue fallback; a dedicated Error Handling section per failure mode). This matches the anchor for clear sequence with explicit validation, feedback loops, and recovery paths. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a concise workflow overview that delegates detail one level deep to real bundle files that exist: `references/arness-knowledge-base.md` (delegated to the doctor agent at dispatch) and `references/issue-template.md` (for issue assembly), each referenced with full paths and a clear purpose. Content is appropriately split — the 353-line knowledge base and issue template are not inlined — matching the anchor for a clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references. | 5 / 5 |
