Content
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The content is well-structured and highly actionable with a clear workflow, but it is slightly verbose in places and, more importantly, references two bundle files (examples.md, scaling-checklist.md) that do not exist. Adding the missing referenced files (or removing the dangling links) is the main fix.
Suggestions
Create the missing referenced files examples.md and scaling-checklist.md (or remove the dangling links) so the progressive-disclosure navigation actually resolves.
Tighten the Anti-Patterns table by collapsing redundant rows that all express 'don't over-abstract' (e.g. interfaces-with-one-implementation, hexagonal-ports-with-one-adapter, AbstractFactoryFactoryBean) into a single entry to reduce token cost.
Trim the editorializing in the closing paragraph and reduce overlap between Core Principles and Success Criteria to improve conciseness.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows, but the 16-row anti-patterns table has redundancy (several rows restate 'don't over-abstract'), Success Criteria overlaps Core Principles, and the closing editorializing ('Build boring systems that work') could be trimmed, so it could be tightened rather than earning a 3. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete constraint questions, a specific complexity checklist, a full output template, concrete Don't/Do-Instead pairs, and measurable heuristics ('adding a feature touches 1-3 modules', 'deployable units <= number of teams'), which is highly actionable guidance for an instruction-only skill. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly sequenced 6-step workflow with a task-progress checklist and an explicit gate in Step 5 ('If any answer is "no", keep it simple'), plus Success Criteria as a result checklist; no destructive/batch retry loop is required here, matching the clear-sequence-with-checklists anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is well-sectioned and defers detail to one-level-deep, well-signaled references, but neither referenced file exists (no references/, scripts/, or assets/ directories and no examples.md or scaling-checklist.md anywhere), so the navigation is broken rather than easy, capping it at 2 rather than 3. | 2 / 3 |
