Content
75%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 content is a well-structured, executable workflow with concrete commands and a guardrails checklist. It is concise and actionable, with only minor validation-feedback and organization gaps keeping it from the top band.
Suggestions
Make the error-recovery feedback loop explicit (e.g. what to do when 'openspec status' reports a missing dependency or invalid schema).
Trim the restating explanations under each step to tighten token efficiency.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is largely lean with concrete commands and minimal padding, though a few explanatory sentences (e.g. 'This shows which artifacts need to be created...') could be trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | It provides copy-paste-ready bash commands (openspec new change, openspec status, openspec instructions) covering the common path, with only minor conditional gaps around the --schema flag handling. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear numbered 1-6 sequence with a STOP checkpoint and a guardrails checklist (kebab-case validation, existing-change detection); not quite a 5 because error-recovery feedback loops are implicit rather than explicit. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-organized into Input/Steps/Output/Guardrails sections and self-contained with no bundle files needed, but it is full guidance rather than an overview pointing to one-level-deep references. | 4 / 5 |
