81%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.
A well-designed router skill: lean prose, fully executable file-based routing, and a clear dispatch sequence with a clarifying-question fallback and overlay precedence rules. Its main weakness is token efficiency — the bulk raw file listing substantially duplicates the curated routing table, and an undifferentiated index blurs otherwise excellent navigation.
Suggestions
Collapse the 75-file raw listing into a compact note (e.g. 'the full upstream file list is in github/gh-aw/.github/aw/') and keep only the curated routing table, saving ~70 lines of tokens.
Annotate the remaining listed files with a short purpose tag each (or group them by topic) so the index is navigable rather than an undifferentiated path dump.
State upfront that the routing table is the primary navigation and the file list is a completeness fallback, so Claude knows which to consult first.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The prose is lean with zero concept over-explanation, but the 75-line raw file listing (lines 18-92) largely duplicates the curated routing table at the end — most listed files are never referenced by any routing rule. Mostly efficient, but it could be tightened by listing only the files not covered in the routing table, which matches anchor 3 rather than the 'minor trims' of anchor 4. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable guidance: exact file paths per task type ('Design workflows from scratch via interview: .github/aw/designer.md'), a copy-paste-ready overlay load ('load it with @.github/aw/instructions.md'), and an explicit conditional extension for OTEL ('skills/otel-queries/SKILL.md'). Every instruction is a concrete, directly performable action with specific examples covering the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The dispatcher sequence is fully specified: identify the task type, load the matching prompt/skill, optionally apply the repository overlay with an explicit precedence rule, then follow the loaded prompt. There is an explicit error-recovery fallback ('ask a clarifying question if the correct prompt is unclear'), and as a simple non-destructive router there is nothing to validate. It is not score 4 because no checkpoint or step is missing or implicit. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Scored against the actual bundle: no local bundle files exist, and the body's references are all well-signaled, one-level-deep pointers into the external 'github/gh-aw' tree, with a routing table that makes navigation easy. The minor gap is the undifferentiated 75-file index dumped before the routing table — files are enumerated without any indication of what each is for — which keeps it below anchor 5's 'easy navigation' standard. | 4 / 5 |
