77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is highly actionable and clearly workflowed with explicit validation and error-recovery loops, but it is a dense single-file monolith that would benefit from offloading reference material (status-code taxonomies, monitoring protocol) into bundle files for better progressive disclosure and token efficiency.
Suggestions
Split the stop_reason_code taxonomy and interview-closure-mode tables into a references/ file and link to it, reducing the inline token load while keeping the dispatch rules up front.
Extract the detailed background-monitoring observer protocol (Codex/Claude Code child-session delegation, relay filtering rules) into a separate reference and keep only the decision summary inline.
Tighten the repeated status-token enumerations (detached/blocked/failed, queued/running) into compact statements to avoid restating the same enum across multiple sections.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is operational rather than concept-explaining and largely respects Claude's intelligence, but ~280 lines of repeated status-token enums, stop_reason taxonomy tables, and edge-case polling protocol could be tightened, fitting the 'mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation or could be tightened' anchor. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | It gives concrete MCP tool names with exact argument signatures (ouroboros_start_auto, ouroboros_job_wait with job_id/cursor/timeout_seconds), a copy-paste CLI-flag→MCP-arg translation table, and explicit call examples, matching the 'fully executable code/commands; copy-paste ready' anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The Background monitoring UX section is a numbered 9-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops (handle non-terminal status, terminal result fetching, observer-failure fallback, attention_required escalation), matching the 'clear sequence with explicit validation steps; feedback loops for error recovery' anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | It is well-sectioned but a single monolithic ~280-line file with no bundle files (references/scripts/assets absent) and no offloaded reference docs, so taxonomy tables and the monitoring protocol that could be separate stay inline, matching the 'content that should be separate is inline' anchor. | 2 / 3 |
