70%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.
A clearly sequenced, validation-rich batch workflow with concrete commands and strong error recovery, weakened by redundant output templates and inlined example walkthroughs that progressive disclosure would move to separate reference files.
Suggestions
Collapse the three standalone "Output On..." templates into a single canonical example referenced from Step 9 to remove duplication.
Move the detailed "Conflict Resolution Examples" walkthroughs into a references/ file and link to them from Step 5, keeping only the resolution rules inline.
Replace the "Use the openspec-sync-specs approach" pointer in Step 8a with a concrete, self-contained sync procedure or an explicit link so the archive step is fully executable without another skill.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly substantive workflow detail, but the standalone "Output On Success / Partial Success / No Changes" templates duplicate Step 9's example and the "Conflict Resolution Examples" restate Step 5's logic, adding padding that could be trimmed. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete executable commands (openspec list/status --json, mkdir -p, mv) and specific parse rules, but the core spec-sync step defers to "the openspec-sync-specs approach" rather than giving copy-paste-ready code. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Nine well-sequenced steps with explicit validation checkpoints (status gathering in Step 3, warnings in Step 6, user confirmation gate in Step 7), per-change outcome tracking, a Guardrails checklist, and a fail-one-continue-others recovery loop; the batch/destructive cap does not apply because validation is present. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is organized with clear section headers but no bundle files or external references are used, and the full worked conflict-resolution examples plus three redundant output templates are inlined rather than split into a reference file. | 3 / 5 |
