68%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 well-structured, executable, and lean, with strong prefer/avoid Swift examples and a real one-level reference. The main gap is the Workflow, which lacks an explicit build/test verification checkpoint for a behavior-preserving refactor.
Suggestions
Add a verification checkpoint to the Workflow, e.g. step 8: 'Build the target and run its tests to confirm the refactor preserves behavior; fix regressions before finishing.'
Signal references/mv-patterns.md earlier — link it from the 'Default to MV, not MVVM' section, not just the closing Notes, so the deeper material is discoverable where it is relevant.
De-duplicate the 'Large-view handling' and 'Notes' sections against Core Guidelines 3 to remove the subview-extraction restatement.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body uses direct imperatives and prefer/avoid code pairs without explaining SwiftUI basics, and every section earns its place. Minor trim opportunities exist (the 'Large-view handling' and 'Notes' sections restate subview-extraction guidance already in Core Guidelines 3). Not a 5 due to that slight redundancy, and not a 3 because there is no real over-explanation of concepts Claude already knows. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, copy-paste-ready Swift examples cover the common cases (HeaderSection/FilterSection extraction, save/reload with .task(id:), @State view-model init, ordering rules). Not a 5 because some examples rely on undefined placeholders (FilterChip, SomeViewModel, Dependency) introducing minor gaps, and not a 3 because the guidance is genuinely executable rather than pseudocode. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 7-step Workflow is clearly sequenced, but there is no explicit validation/verification checkpoint (e.g. 'build and run tests to confirm behavior is intact'), even though refactoring modifies behavior-sensitive code. This fits the 'steps listed but validation gaps' anchor. Not a 4 because a checkpoint is absent rather than merely minor, and not a 2 because the sequence itself is coherent and well-defined. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Clear section headers organize the body and the single reference to references/mv-patterns.md is one level deep and resolves to a real file. Not a 5 because the reference is signaled only once near the end in 'Notes' rather than surfaced where MV guidance is discussed, and not a 3 because structure and the reference are clearly present rather than buried. | 4 / 5 |
