60%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 delivers a well-sequenced, actionable planning workflow with real validation checkpoints and error-recovery protocol, and the scripts it cites all exist in the bundle. Its two real problems are redundancy in the file-location guidance and a reference layer that mostly points at files absent from the bundle, which breaks both template usage and the advanced-topics navigation.
Suggestions
Ship the referenced files (templates/task_plan.md, templates/findings.md, templates/progress.md, reference.md, examples.md, plan-inventory.md) or remove/inline the dead links — every non-script reference in the body currently resolves to nothing.
Add a copy-paste example command for the restore entry point (resolve-plan-dir.sh with PLAN_ID and PWF_PLAN_ROOT) so the first step of the workflow is as executable as the later ones.
State the project-root file-location rule once (the table) and drop the duplicate note and anti-patterns row; the RAM/disk metaphor section can also be cut since it explains what Claude already knows.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is largely table-dense and imperative, but 'planning files go in your project directory' is repeated three times (location table, the note after Quick Start, and the anti-patterns row), and the 'Context Window = RAM / Filesystem = Disk' section explains a concept Claude already knows — fitting the 'mostly efficient but some unnecessary explanation' anchor rather than the merely-trimmable anchor 4. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, runnable invocations for session-catchup.py --metadata (bash and PowerShell), init-session.sh, check-complete.sh --validate, and set-active-plan --list/--archive, but the primary restore entry point ('Use the installed scripts/resolve-plan-dir.sh (or .ps1) with the host's PLAN_ID and PWF_PLAN_ROOT') is described without an example command line, matching the 'mostly executable guidance with minor gaps' anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The lifecycle has explicit validation checkpoints ('Validation must succeed before substantive work and after changing phase structure'), a 3-strike escalation feedback loop, and an approval gate for archiving, but the opening restore section interleaves resolve-plan-dir prose with a session-catchup snippet whose role in the sequence is unclear, leaving minor gaps versus the fully explicit anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | References are clearly signaled and one level deep, but scored against the actual bundle, six referenced paths are dead: templates/task_plan.md, templates/findings.md, templates/progress.md, reference.md, examples.md, and plan-inventory.md do not exist in the bundle, so 'Copy these templates to start' and 'See [reference.md](reference.md)' fail at use time — broken navigation for over half the non-script references places this below the 'references present but not clearly signaled' anchor 3. | 2 / 5 |
