67%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.
A well-structured, actionable planning skill with a clear workflow and a concrete output template. Its main weaknesses are motivational padding and a lack of explicit validation checkpoints or a worked example.
Suggestions
Remove motivational filler (e.g. 'These are the things that often live only in senior-engineer memory', 'If this statement is weak, the implementation will drift') to tighten the body.
Add an explicit validation checkpoint in the workflow — e.g. after step 3, require confirming that every fixed rule is labeled fixed/preference/open before producing the handoff.
Include one short worked example of a completed CAPABILITY/CONSTRAINTS/CONTRACT output to make the template copy-paste concrete.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient but padded with motivational asides ('These are the things that often live only in senior-engineer memory', 'If this statement is weak, the implementation will drift', 'The goal is not to create another planning stack. The goal is ...') that could be trimmed without losing guidance. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides a concrete 4-step workflow, an explicit ordered output-format template, enumerated constraint and contract fields, and named next-lane handoffs; minor gap is the absence of a worked example showing a filled-in artifact. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are clearly sequenced (restate → resolve constraints → define contract → translate/handoff) with a tri-state handoff classification, but there are no explicit validate-and-retry checkpoints; the 'open questions blocking implementation' field is only an implicit checkpoint. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well organized into labeled sections with a single one-level-deep reference ('docs/examples/product-capability-template.md'), but no bundle directory exists so the referenced template path is unverified and a fair amount of reference-style material is inlined. | 4 / 5 |
