Content
62%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The content delivers a well-gated, clearly sequenced archive workflow with strong validation and feedback loops. Its weaknesses are repeated policy restatements, pseudocode/placeholder merge logic with core mechanics deferred to un-bundled references, and lack of file-based progressive disclosure.
Suggestions
Consolidate the stale-checkbox reconciliation policy into one authoritative section and reference it elsewhere instead of restating it four times.
Extract the delta-merge algorithm and the gate policies into bundled reference files (e.g., references/merge-rules.md) so SKILL.md stays a lean overview.
Replace the placeholder pseudocode merge block with concrete, copy-ready commands or a runnable script under scripts/ for the openspec/hybrid path.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly lean procedural instruction, but the stale-checkbox policy is restated across the Task Completion Gate, Strict-vs-OpenSpec Archive Policy, Step 4, and Rules sections, and the Language Domain Contract is tangential to the archive task. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Concrete file paths and move operations are given, but the merge logic is pseudocode with placeholders and core retrieval/persistence mechanics are deferred to un-bundled shared docs (sdd-phase-common.md Sections A-D). | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear Step 1-6 sequence is gated by explicit checkpoints (Review Receipt Gate, Task Completion Gate, Action Context Guard) with a verification checklist and blocked-return feedback loops for error recovery. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | References to shared docs are clearly signaled one level deep ('Follow Section B from sdd-phase-common.md'), but no bundle files exist and the ~200-line body keeps the merge algorithm and policy gates inline rather than splitting them out. | 2 / 3 |
