62%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's greatest strength is workflow clarity — the TDD pipeline is sequenced with explicit verification gates, blocking rules, and error-recovery loops. Its weaknesses are token efficiency (the pipeline is stated three times) and progressive disclosure (a long monolith whose cross-references point to files not shipped in the bundle, plus a malformed settings example).
Suggestions
Consolidate the three renditions of the 10-step pipeline (Core Principle box, Feature Agent Workflow, Task Dependency Chain) into one canonical presentation and reference it from the other sections.
Fix the Environment Setup example — the JSON key 'agent teams (via .claude/agents/ definitions)': '1' is not a valid settings entry; state the actual env var or remove the section.
Move the agent roster details, task-chain template, and agent-definition format into a references/ file in the bundle (and either bundle or clearly mark the cross-referenced skills like base.md and icpg.md) so SKILL.md stays a lean overview.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The same 10-step pipeline is rendered three times in full — the ASCII 'STRICT FEATURE PIPELINE' box, the 'Feature Agent Workflow' step list, and the 'Task Dependency Chain' ASCII box — plus a fourth parallel-execution diagram repeating the same task names, which is substantial padded redundancy across ~450 lines. It avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows (better than anchor 1's 'extensively explains known concepts'), so it sits at 'noticeably verbose; several padded sections' rather than 'severely verbose'. | 2 / 5 |
Actionability | Most guidance is executable and specific: a concrete git/gh command sequence ('git checkout -b feature/{feature-name}', 'gh pr create'), 'polyphony spawn "$FEATURE" --type feature', exact task-naming conventions, an 80% coverage threshold, and enumerated tool lists for each agent. It falls short of 5 because key details defer to unbundled files ('Follow the atomic TODO format from base.md skill', 'Uses Ralph loops') and the required-settings example is malformed (a JSON key 'agent teams (via .claude/agents/ definitions)': '1'). | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The multi-step process is clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops: 'Quality Agent runs tests and verifies ALL new tests fail', 'If tests fail or coverage insufficient -> fix and re-request', 'If Critical or High issues -> fix and re-request review', and 'Merger Agent refuses to branch if any predecessor task is incomplete'. This matches the top anchor ('clear sequence with explicit validation steps; feedback loops for error recovery'), and the destructive/batch git operations (staging, branching) do have validation ('Stages ONLY files changed for this feature (never git add -A)', predecessor verification). | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Section structure is good (clear ## headers, tables), but the document is a ~450-line monolith: the agent roster details, all three pipeline renditions, and the task-chain template are inlined where a reference file would serve, and no bundle files exist (no references/, scripts/, or assets/). The many cross-references (base.md, code-review.md, security.md, icpg.md, code-graph.md, .claude/agents/ templates) point to files not present in this bundle, so navigation leads nowhere — fitting 'some structure but could be better organized; references present but not clearly signaled' rather than 4's 'most content appropriately placed'. | 3 / 5 |
