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 a highly actionable, well-sequenced conversational orchestration skill with clean one-level-deep references and strong validation checkpoints. Its main weakness is conciseness: a duplicated decision table and repeated dispatch boilerplate could be consolidated.
Suggestions
Consolidate the duplicate 'Agent Invocation Guide' table (lines 265-284) with the inline decision table (lines 188-207) into a single table to remove ~20 lines of restated guidance.
Factor out the verbatim dispatch-convention boilerplate ('passing the model from .arness/agent-models/spark.md ... see ensure-config.md "Dispatch convention" for fallback'), repeated ~4 times, into one note near its first use.
Tighten the fully-scripted AskUserQuestion prompts in Checkpoints B and C to essential intent and options; Claude can adapt tone without complete verbatim dialog scripts.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | It does not pad with concepts Claude already knows (no basic explanations of what a product concept is), but it carries real redundancy: the 'Agent Invocation Guide' table (lines 265-284) largely restates the inline decision table (lines 188-207), and the dispatch-convention parenthetical is repeated verbatim ~4 times. This fits 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' rather than the every-token-earns-its-place anchor at 3. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, copy-paste-ready guidance: exact agent names and modes (arn-spark-product-strategist, arn-spark-persona-architect 'discovery mode', arn-spark-market-researcher 'identification/plan|search|consolidate'), exact reference file paths, full AskUserQuestion prompts, and the output filename product-concept.md. As an instruction-only skill this matches the level-3 'fully executable / copy-paste ready' anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear Step 0 -> Step 5 sequence with explicit validation checkpoints (A-D plus a readiness check), feedback loops ('iterate until the user is satisfied'), a coverage-tracking checklist, and a dedicated error-handling section. No destructive/batch cap applies (document writes are guarded by an existence check), so it sits at the level-3 anchor rather than the implicit-checkpoint anchor at 2. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The four bundle reference files (discovery-questions.md, product-concept-template.md, persona-profile-template.md, competitive-landscape-template.md) all exist and are referenced one level deep with explicit 'Read ...' signals at the point of use; templates and the question bank are appropriately externalized from the orchestration body. Matches the level-3 anchor; not 2 because reference material is genuinely split out rather than inlined. | 3 / 3 |
