81%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 highly actionable, well-sequenced workflow with concrete commands and strong validation checkpoints. Its only notable weakness is mild verbosity from restating the planning boundary and --store flag guidance.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient and assumes Claude's competence (no basic-concept padding), but the planning-boundary guardrail is restated verbatim at the top and again under Guardrails, and the --store flag instructions repeat across steps, so it could be tightened. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides copy-paste-ready, fully executable commands (e.g. `openspec new change "<name>"`, `openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json`) plus concrete JSON fields to parse, covering the common cases comprehensively. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly sequenced Steps 1-7 workflow with explicit validation checkpoints (rerun `openspec status`, verify each artifact file exists before proceeding, context-failure stops) and feedback loops for error recovery, satisfying the 5-anchor even though it is a batch operation. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist, and the skill is a cohesive self-contained workflow well-organized into labeled sections (Steps, Output, Artifact Creation Guidelines, Guardrails); it is appropriately single-file, though at ~150 lines some scaffold-detail could optionally be split out. | 4 / 5 |
