70%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.
A well-structured, deeply sequenced workflow with strong progressive disclosure and validation loops, dragged down only by an actionability ceiling from heavy policy prose and a length that exceeds what a lean overview would carry. Scores reflect conciseness/actionability as its weaker dimensions while workflow clarity and progressive disclosure are excellent.
Suggestions
Move the Phase 0.0 output-mode precedence ladder and Phase 0.4 task-naming rules into a reference file, keeping a one-line summary and gate in the body to trim conciseness overhead.
Compress the inline policy paragraphs (Interaction Rule 4's per-harness enumeration, the coherent-work gate) into terse bullet directives so the body leans more on executable instruction than narrative justification.
Add a short 'Quick path for Lightweight scope' worked example at the top of the Execution Flow so a reader gets an end-to-end executable trace without walking all four phases.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient and rarely explains concepts Claude already knows, but at ~350 lines and 7,200 words it carries substantial inline policy prose (e.g., the multi-step output-mode precedence in Phase 0.0, the task-naming dissertation in Phase 0.4) that could be tightened or pushed to a reference. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | It gives concrete executable guidance where it matters — the scratch-directory bash block with symlink/ownership guards, exact artifact metadata fields, and file-path templates — but most of the body is policy and routing logic rather than copy-paste-ready instructions, so guidance is instructive rather than executable end-to-end. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The execution flow is explicitly sequenced Phase 0 through Phase 4 with numbered sub-phases, per-phase exit conditions (e.g., Phase 1.3's exit clauses), validation checkpoints (the 'Ready for Planning Check' rerun loop, 'verify before claiming' rule), and explicit error-recovery feedback loops. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | All 17 body references (e.g., references/synthesis-summary.md, references/brainstorm-sections.md, references/agents/slack-researcher.md) and scripts (elevation-dispatch.sh, peer-job-runner.py, visual-probe-server.js) resolve to real bundle files, are one level deep, clearly signaled with their load timing (e.g., 'load the rendering reference at Phase 3, not now'), and keep detail out of the overview. | 3 / 3 |
