68%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 delivers a well-sequenced, actionable workflow with concrete CLI commands and output templates, and is reasonably concise. Its main weakness is the absence of an explicit validation/verification checkpoint in the batch implementation loop, which caps workflow clarity.
Suggestions
Add an explicit validation step after implementation (e.g., run tests or openspec validate) before marking tasks complete, with a fix-and-retry feedback loop.
Trim the Guardrails section, which largely restates the 'Pause if' conditions already defined in step 6.
Collapse the three Output templates or move them to a reference file to reduce token cost while keeping the workflow steps primary.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly lean with executable commands and output templates and no padding about what OpenSpec is, but the Guardrails section restates pause conditions already covered in steps 6-7. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete executable commands (openspec status/instructions/list with --json) and a specific checkbox mutation (- [ ] → - [x]), with only minor vagueness around 'Make the code changes required'. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 7-step sequence with pause conditions and state handling exists, but the batch task-implementation loop lacks an explicit validation/verification checkpoint (e.g., run tests), which caps this dimension at 3 per the rubric. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single self-contained file with well-organized sections (Steps, Output templates, Guardrails, Fluid Workflow Integration) and no nested references; no bundle files exist to require external navigation. | 4 / 5 |
