77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is a well-sequenced, highly actionable orchestrator with strong checkpoints and feedback loops, but it is verbose for its context budget and monolithic where splitting the inline report templates into reference files would improve progressive disclosure.
Suggestions
Move the inline REF_PAPER_SUMMARY.md, IDEA_REPORT.md, and IDEA_CANDIDATES.md markdown templates into reference files (e.g. references/REPORT_TEMPLATES.md) and link to them, reducing body length and improving progressive_disclosure.
Trim the repeated 'What this does' bullets under each phase, since the chained sub-skills already document their own behavior; keep only the orchestration-specific decisions and handoff points.
Consolidate the per-phase checkpoint dialog blocks into a single reusable checkpoint convention to cut token cost while preserving the validation gates.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | It avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows, but ~316 lines include verbose inline report templates (REF_PAPER_SUMMARY.md, IDEA_REPORT.md, IDEA_CANDIDATES.md) and repeated 'What this does' bullets that re-explain sub-skills, fitting the score-2 anchor of mostly efficient but could be tightened rather than the score-3 lean ideal. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Gives concrete, copy-paste-ready sub-skill invocations with arguments (e.g. `/aris-research-lit "$ARGUMENTS"`, `/aris-novelty-check "[top idea 1 description]"`), explicit constants (PILOT_MAX_HOURS=2), and named output files, matching the score-3 anchor for fully executable, specific guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Sequences a clear multi-phase pipeline (Phase 0 → 5.5) with explicit '🚦 Checkpoint' gates, branching user-decision logic, and feedback loops (re-run Phase 1/2 until satisfied), matching the score-3 anchor for clear sequencing with validation steps and error-recovery loops. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle/reference files exist and the ~316-line body keeps full report templates inline that could be split into separate reference files, fitting the score-2 anchor of some structure but content that should be separate is inline rather than the score-3 one-level-deep reference pattern. | 2 / 3 |
