Content
72%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 strong reference structure, but it is verbose and its workflows lack explicit validation feedback loops. Tightening the redundant prose-vs-bullets messaging, the over-claiming visual-generation section, and Section 10's general-knowledge terminology would materially improve it.
Suggestions
State the 'write in full paragraphs, never bullet points' rule once in a prominent place and remove the repeated restatements across Overview, Section 7, the Workflow, and the Common Mistakes list to recover tokens.
Replace the 'MANDATORY/EXTENSIVELY/CRITICAL' visual-generation emphasis and the inflated minimum-figure table (e.g., Market Research: 20–30 figures) with a single concise, calibrated figure-generation guidance block.
Add explicit validation checkpoints to the manuscript workflow — e.g., 'compile the .tex and fix errors before proceeding' and 'verify every citation resolves to a real source' — to create verify-then-proceed feedback loops.
Move Section 10's field-by-field terminology into a reference file (e.g., references/field_terminology.md) and keep only the general principles inline, since much of that content is knowledge Claude already has.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly useful but padded: the 'always write in full paragraphs, never bullet points' rule is repeated 5+ times, the visual-enhancement section over-emphasizes with MANDATORY/EXTENSIVELY/CRITICAL and an over-claiming minimum-figure table, and Section 10 (~90 lines) explains field-specific terminology Claude largely already knows. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable guidance throughout — bash commands for generate_schematic.py/generate_image.py and complete, copy-paste-ready LaTeX for box environments, tables, scientific-notation commands, and the getting-started template. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The Stage 1–4 manuscript workflow is clearly sequenced and includes a Stage 3 revision checklist, but it lacks explicit verify-then-proceed gating and error-recovery feedback loops (e.g., compile-check-fix for LaTeX, citation-resolution verification). | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Major topics are split into real, well-signaled one-level-deep reference files (imrad_structure.md, citation_styles.md, figures_tables.md, reporting_guidelines.md, writing_principles.md, professional_report_formatting.md) and assets, with a dedicated References/Assets listing for easy navigation. | 3 / 3 |
