56%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 well-structured and actionable with a clear sequenced workflow and concrete git commands, but it is noticeably verbose — an exhaustive emoji table and over-explained conventional-commit basics inflate the token budget and should be split into a reference file.
Suggestions
Move the 90+ emoji-to-type mapping into a separate references file (e.g. references/emoji-commit-types.md) and link to it, cutting the inlined bulk.
Trim the "Best Practices for Commits" section to drop concepts Claude already knows (what each conventional type means, present-tense-imperative).
Add an explicit validate→fix→retry loop after pre-commit checks (e.g. run checks, on failure show errors, fix, re-run, only commit when green) to lift workflow_clarity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~90-entry emoji-to-type table and the "Best Practices" explanation of conventional-commit types / present-tense-imperative are padded reference material and concepts Claude already knows, matching the score-2 anchor of noticeable verbosity; not a 3 because multiple sections, not just one, could be trimmed. | 2 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete commands appear throughout ("git status", "git add", "git diff", "--no-verify", branch pattern "<type>/<username>/<description>") with copy-ready message examples, matching the score-4 anchor; not a 5 because the actual `git commit` invocation is implied rather than shown. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | An explicit 8-step numbered sequence runs branch-check through commit, with a pre-commit failure checkpoint ("asked if you want to proceed... or fix the issues first") and a diff-review verification, fitting the score-4 anchor; not a 5 because validation is not a fully explicit validate→fix→retry checklist. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Section headers (Instructions, Best Practices, Examples, Branch Naming, Important Notes) provide structure, but the large emoji/type lookup table is reference material clearly belonging in a separate file and is inlined with no external references, matching the score-3 anchor; not a 2 because the sectioning is genuine. | 3 / 5 |
