85%Weight 40%Scale 1-3Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-organized, actionable orchestrator doc with executable commands, a clearly sequenced multi-step workflow with validation and feedback loops, and a clean one-level reference to its script. The only weakness is mild verbosity from the historical Ralph-loop comparison.
Suggestions
Remove or condense the 'UX note' about the retired Ralph loop's single-session/interactive behavior — it is historical context that does not help operate the current headless skill and adds token overhead.
Tighten the 'Notes' section so it states only the operational fact (no Stop-hook; green is detected via each stage's VALIDATION: GREEN sentinel or --validate) without restating loop ownership already covered under 'What it does'.
If the Ralph comparison must be retained, move it to a brief 'Migration from Ralph' sub-line rather than a full explanatory paragraph to preserve the lean, command-first tone.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly lean and command-driven, but the 'UX note' paragraph recounting the retired Ralph loop's history is unnecessary for operating the skill and could be trimmed; it is not score-3 'every token earns its place'. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides copy-paste-ready executable commands ('uv run .claude/skills/prp-loop/scripts/prp_loop.py "$ARGUMENTS"', '--resume', '--until implement') with concrete flags and stated defaults (--max-cycles 3, --max-implement-iterations 10). | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 'What it does' section sequences plan→implement→pr→review→cycle with explicit validation checkpoints (implement loops until validations pass, review writes a {clean, blocking} verdict) and a review→fix feedback loop, plus enumerated halt conditions — appropriate for autonomous batch operations. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | SKILL.md is a concise overview with clearly signaled one-level-deep references to the real bundle file scripts/prp_loop.py (verified present), and the implementation logic is appropriately split into that script rather than inlined. | 3 / 3 |
