65%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is highly actionable with concrete numeric limits and copy-pasteable Don't/Do examples, but it is held back by verbosity and heavy example repetition, a monolithic structure with no external references, and a rules-catalog organization that lacks an explicit review workflow with validation checkpoints.
Suggestions
Cut the Executive Summary / 'definitive engineering reference' framing and deduplicate the recurring example commit messages so each illustration appears once and is cross-referenced where reused.
Add an explicit review workflow with checkpoints, e.g. (1) parse title/body/footers, (2) check each rule, (3) if any violation, emit one complete revised message, (4) re-verify the suggested message against all rules before posting, (5) if fully compliant, state no changes needed.
Move the lengthy Don't/Do example catalog into a references/ file (e.g. EXAMPLES.md) and keep SKILL.md as a concise overview of the rules with one-level-deep links, improving progressive disclosure and token efficiency.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is padded with an executive summary and "definitive engineering reference" framing, and reuses the same example commit messages (e.g. "Fix loading spinner and add test coverage", "Suggest full commit message...") across multiple rules, so it could be tightened despite accurate core content. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Guidance is concrete and copy-paste ready: explicit numeric limits (60-char titles, 72-char wrapping), required imperative verbs, and full Don't/Do example commit messages with rationale that a reviewer can apply directly. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Rules are organized into a clear checklist by chapter (title, body, footers, review output) and T4-01/T4-02 give conditional output logic, but the review process is never laid out as an explicit sequenced workflow with validation checkpoints (e.g. verify the suggested message itself complies before emitting it). | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Sections are well-organized with summary tables, but the document is a monolithic ~500-line inline SKILL.md with no bundle files and no one-level-deep references; the repetitive example catalog is content that could appropriately be split into a separate reference file. | 2 / 3 |
