77%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 highly actionable with executable commands and strong workflow clarity including validation checkpoints for a destructive batch operation. Its main weaknesses are verbosity from a redundant Guardrails section and a monolithic inline structure with no progressive disclosure.
Suggestions
Collapse the Guardrails section into the relevant steps or trim it to non-duplicative items to remove repetition and recover token budget.
Move the Conflict Resolution Examples and detailed archive-input/context-handling rules into reference files linked from the main steps to introduce one-level-deep progressive disclosure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient procedural prose, but the ~330-line body repeats itself via a long Guardrails section that restates earlier steps, adding padding that could be trimmed. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable commands with concrete flags, explicit JSON field names, and copy-paste-ready shell snippets (openspec list/status/instructions, mkdir -p, mv). | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | For this destructive batch operation the steps are clearly sequenced with explicit validation (verify main specs before moving changeRoot), atomic stop conditions, and feedback loops for error recovery. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle/reference files exist, so the entire ~330-line procedure is inlined; numbered steps and headers give some structure, but content that could be split out (e.g., conflict-resolution examples, archive input handling) has no one-level-deep references. | 3 / 5 |
