71%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 highly actionable, well-sequenced scouting workflow with concrete tools, key patterns, and validation checkpoints. Its weaknesses are verbosity in the decision section, a duplicated tool entry, and a dangling `references/lenses.md` reference that undermines progressive disclosure.
Suggestions
Create the referenced `references/lenses.md` (or remove the dangling reference) so the per-lens playbook pointer resolves to a real file.
Split the long Decide paragraph into a short edit-vs-author decision table or checklist to reduce the wall-of-text and raise workflow clarity and conciseness.
De-duplicate the `scout-members-list` entry in the MCP tools section and tighten the repeated edit-vs-author guidance to recover token budget.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly operational specifics that earn their tokens, but noticeably verbose in places — the run-on Decide paragraph and a duplicated `scout-members-list` entry (lines 146 and 154) could be tightened, fitting anchor 3 rather than 4. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully actionable: concrete MCP tool calls (`query-llm-trace`, `execute-sql`, `scout-emit-report`), exact scratchpad key patterns (`pattern:llm_analytics:generation-baseline`), and specific field values (`actionability=immediately_actionable`, `suggested_reviewers` as a list of objects) cover the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear sequenced sections (Get oriented → Explore → Dig in → Save memory → Decide → Close out) with explicit validation checkpoints (check inbox, report status, scratchpad pointers), but the dense Decide paragraph and disqualifier interplay leave minor clarity gaps versus the checklist-level anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | References are clearly signaled ("references/lenses.md is the per-lens playbook — read it for...") but that file does not exist in the bundle, and substantial per-lens and decision detail is inlined rather than split out, matching anchor 3. | 3 / 5 |
