75%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 body is a lean, well-sequenced instruction skill with concrete directives, a mandatory verification checklist, and clear gating. Its weaknesses are minor: some cross-section redundancy, no explicit post-verification recovery loop, and an unreferenced bundle file plus light duplication between the inline and referenced checklists.
Suggestions
Add an explicit feedback loop after the Verification Checklist (e.g., 'If any box is unchecked, return to Drafting and resolve before handoff') to reach full workflow-clarity anchor 5.
Either reference lean-spec-template.md from the body or remove it from references/ so every bundle file is discoverable and no orphaned asset remains.
Deduplicate the RACI/ownership guidance currently split across the Drafting 'Handoff Quality' bullet, the Anti-Patterns 'Offshore handoff' bullet, and the separate Ownership checklist into a single owned section.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and terse — short directive bullets with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows — but has minor redundancy (traceability/RACI recur across Drafting, Anti-Patterns, and Ownership checklist), keeping it just below anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | As an instruction-only skill it gives concrete, specific guidance — 'Ask 3-5 clarification questions', 'provide (a, b, c) options', 'Read references/prd-template.md', 'Assign stable REQ-* and AC-* IDs', 'Use Given/When/Then', output to 'docs/prd/prd-[slug].md' — which is mostly executable with only minor gaps, matching anchor 4. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Phases are clearly sequenced (Discovery → Drafting → Verification Checklist) with a mandatory checklist, an Implementation Gate checkpoint, and a discovery 'Repeat until Actionable State' loop; falls short of anchor 5 because there is no explicit error-recovery feedback loop after the verification checklist fails. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is an overview with a References section linking one-level-deep to real files (prd-template.md, checklist.md), but lean-spec-template.md exists in the bundle yet is unreferenced, and the inline Verification Checklist overlaps with the referenced checklist.md — minor organization gaps consistent with anchor 4. | 4 / 5 |
