73%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.
This is a well-sequenced, highly actionable batch workflow with strong validation and feedback loops. Its main weakness is verbosity from duplicated output templates and worked examples that repeat what the steps already prescribe.
Suggestions
Consolidate the 'Output On Success/Partial/No Changes' template blocks into one parameterized template to remove duplicated summary content.
Trim the two full worked conflict-resolution examples to one short example, since the resolution rules are already stated in Step 5.
Inline the spec-sync specifics (or reference a named sync skill with a path) rather than deferring vaguely to 'the openspec-sync-specs approach'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Instructions are mostly efficient, but the in-step status table, the per-conflict resolution block, and the separate 'Output On Success/Partial/No Changes' sections duplicate the same summary content, adding avoidable tokens. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | It provides concrete commands (`openspec list --json`, `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`, `mkdir -p`, `mv`), exact file paths, and precise task-counting patterns; minor gaps remain in the spec-sync step which defers to an external approach without inline specifics. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 9-step sequence includes explicit validation checkpoints (conflict detection, status table review, single-batch confirmation gate) and per-change outcome tracking with continue-on-failure behavior — strong feedback loops for a batch/destructive operation. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-organized under clear headers in a single file with no bundle references; given the length (>50 lines) some of the example/template material could be split out, but structure is good and navigation is straightforward. | 4 / 5 |
