77%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 well-structured, highly actionable execution workflow with strong validation gates and progressive disclosure to a real reference and script. The main weakness is repetitive restatement of the same graph-freshness requirements within the Build-current/index-current procedure.
Suggestions
In the Build-current/index-current procedure, state the freshness requirements (status: up-to-date, empty incompleteReasons, runnerIdentityStatus: current) once and reference them from steps 1 and 5 instead of restating near-identical lists.
Consider moving the detailed schemaVersion-4 receipt field enumeration (dependency canonicalization, manifest/lockfile/package-count/digest) into references/evidence-provenance.md, keeping only the acceptance criteria inline.
Tighten Phase 4 step 3, which re-announces 'run the same Build-current/index-current procedure' already established in Phase 2, to a single forward reference.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient and free of generic-knowledge padding, but the Build-current/index-current procedure restates the same freshness requirements (status: up-to-date, empty incompleteReasons) across steps 1, 5, and the intro, and could be tightened. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete commands (evidence-provenance.mjs read-plan, node gitnexus/dist/cli/index.js analyze --index-only --pdg, cd gitnexus && npm run build, detect_changes {scope: "staged"}) with only parameterized placeholders as minor gaps. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear four-phase sequence with explicit validation checkpoints (impact before edits, detect_changes before commits, rebuild-before-verify), feedback loops (re-anchor on drift, inter-step refresh), and a 'Never' checklist for a destructive/batch operation. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-signaled one-level-deep references to references/evidence-provenance.md and scripts/evidence-provenance.mjs (both real files), with the byte contract pushed to the reference and the executable workflow kept inline. | 5 / 5 |
