75%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-organized, largely actionable body: concrete hook setup, configuration, decision tables, and version-specific caveats about what survives compaction. The main gap is that the referenced `suggest-compact.js` script is not shipped, so the setup instructions cannot actually be executed end-to-end, and a couple of sections carry padding.
Suggestions
Ship `suggest-compact.js` in a `scripts/` directory (and update the hook paths to a relative reference) so the copy-paste hook setup actually works instead of pointing at a file the reader must write themselves.
Trim the 'Why Strategic Compaction?' motivation section and the nested parentheticals in 'How It Works' — the thresholds and signals can be stated as a short table, and the todo-tools caveat can be cut to its actionable core ('write the plan to a file; the task list may not exist').
Resolve the dangling references: link the `continuous-learning` skill and the longform guide to concrete targets, or drop the 'Related' section, since neither resolves from this skill's bundle.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly dense, non-obvious content (window-scaled thresholds, env vars, what-survives table, version-specific todo-tools caveat), but the "Why Strategic Compaction?" section is motivational padding and the 13-line blockquote plus heavily nested parentheticals in "How It Works" could be tightened — efficient with minor over-explanation, not anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Copy-paste hook JSON, concrete env vars with defaults, a phase-transition decision table, and a worked `/compact Focus on implementing auth middleware next` example make the guidance mostly executable, but the entire mechanism depends on `suggest-compact.js`, whose behavior is described yet whose code is not shipped in the bundle, leaving a gap that keeps it below anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Compaction Decision Guide gives an explicit per-phase checkpoint table (Compact? / Why) and the write-before-compacting rule is stated repeatedly; compaction is not a destructive/batch operation so no validation cap applies. The setup → configure → respond sequence is implied by section order rather than given as an explicit ordered workflow, which keeps it at anchor 4 rather than 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized single-file structure with one-level-deep references only and appropriately inlined decision tables, but at ~120 lines it exceeds the under-50-line exception, and it references a script (`suggest-compact.js`) and related skills (`continuous-learning`) that are not present in the bundle, so minor organization gaps remain. | 4 / 5 |
