65%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A thorough, highly actionable batch-archive workflow with concrete commands and clear sequencing, but it is monolithic (no referenced detail files) and lacks a post-archive verification loop for a destructive batch operation. Splitting the examples/templates into reference files and adding a verify step would raise the weaker dimensions.
Suggestions
Add a post-archive verification checkpoint (e.g., re-run `openspec list --json` to confirm archived changes are gone and check that synced specs landed) to close the feedback loop for this destructive batch operation.
Move the 'Conflict Resolution Examples' and 'Output' templates into a separate reference file (e.g., references/examples.md) referenced from SKILL.md to improve progressive disclosure and reduce duplication.
Replace the vague step 8a ('Use the openspec-sync-specs approach') with concrete sync commands or a direct link to the referenced skill so the core spec-sync step is executable rather than descriptive.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly procedural instruction without explaining concepts Claude already knows, but the standalone 'Conflict Resolution Examples' and multiple 'Output' templates duplicate logic already covered in the numbered steps, so it could be tightened. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | It provides copy-paste-ready commands (`openspec list --json`, `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`, `mkdir -p` / `mv` archive commands) and concrete file paths throughout, with specific examples for each phase. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 9-step sequence is clear with pre-archive status and conflict checks, but this is a batch/destructive operation (moving directories) with no post-archive verification or validate-fix-retry feedback loop, capping it at 2 per the rubric note. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | There are no bundle files and all ~250 lines live inline in SKILL.md; the detailed conflict-resolution examples and output templates that could be split out are inline, fitting the 'content that should be separate is inline' anchor. | 2 / 3 |
