88%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 a well-engineered orchestration playbook: exact sub-skill commands, explicit constants with override syntax, sequenced phases with checkpoints, feedback loops, and budget/timeout validation for pilot experiments. It is efficient and highly actionable, with only minor verbosity in repeated checkpoint boilerplate and long inline output templates.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient: a compact constants block, per-phase invoke commands, and no explanations of concepts Claude already knows. Minor trimming opportunities remain — checkpoint blocks repeat the "(If no response...)" AUTO_PROCEED boilerplate and the ~40-line report templates are fully inlined — which keeps it below the lean-everywhere 5 anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Every phase has a copy-paste-ready invoke command (e.g., "/aris-research-lit \"$ARGUMENTS\""), concrete tunable constants with override syntax ("PILOT_TIMEOUT_HOURS = 3", "/aris-idea-discovery \"topic\" — compact: true"), and complete output templates (IDEA_REPORT.md, REF_PAPER_SUMMARY.md, IDEA_CANDIDATES.md) covering the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Phases are explicitly sequenced (0 → 5.5) with 🚦 checkpoints, user-feedback loops ("re-run Phase 2 ... Repeat until the user selects at least 1 idea"), AUTO_PROCEED fallback behavior, and validation guardrails for the risky batch operations (PILOT_TIMEOUT_HOURS kill rule, MAX_TOTAL_GPU_HOURS budget, kill-ideas-early rules, lite-mode branch). | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-sectioned single-file skill with clearly signaled conditional sections ("Skip entirely if REF_PAPER is false") and one clearly linked external template (RESEARCH_BRIEF_TEMPLATE.md). No bundle files exist to offload content into, so the inline report templates are defensible, but a ~310-line body with full deliverable templates inlined keeps it short of the clean overview-plus-references 5 anchor. | 4 / 5 |
