72%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 concise, actionable, and well-structured with appropriately split one-level-deep references that resolve to real files. Its main weakness is workflow clarity: the process is conveyed in prose rather than as an explicit sequenced workflow with validation checkpoints.
Suggestions
Convert the implied process into a short numbered workflow (read requirements -> inspect installed stack -> resolve only open choices -> draft architecture -> record tradeoffs -> emit Handoff Context -> proceed to next stage).
Make validation checkpoints explicit (e.g. 'Verify vendor details against installed code or official sources before recording them' as a distinct step) rather than embedding them in prose.
Add a brief checklist of the required Handoff Context fields so the closing step is unambiguous and verifiable.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean directive prose that assumes Claude's competence ('Prefer the smallest design that meets requirements', 'Keep secrets out of generated documents') with no concept re-explanation; a few advisory guardrail sentences could still be trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | It gives concrete, executable guidance — a specific output path ('docs/TechDesign-[AppName]-MVP.md' or the manifest's configured design path) and an explicit list of architecture facets to describe — appropriate for an instruction-only skill, with only minor gaps. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A process sequence is implied in prose (read requirements, inspect stack, ask unresolved choices, describe architecture, record tradeoffs, end with Handoff Context, continue to next stage), but it is not a clearly numbered sequence and validation checkpoints are only implicit ('Verify changing vendor details...', 'Distinguish local test operations from external sends...'). | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a concise overview that signals exactly two one-level-deep references via markdown links — references/question-bank.md and references/cli-output.md — both of which exist as real bundle files, giving clean navigation. | 5 / 5 |
