60%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, concise body with a clear six-step workflow and mostly concrete guidance, dragged down by a broken bundle: all three referenced files (two references and the sample-size script) are missing, so the primary executable tooling and the progressive-disclosure layer don't actually work. Fixing the dangling files would lift both actionability and progressive disclosure substantially.
Suggestions
Ship the referenced bundle files — 'references/experiment-playbook.md', 'references/statistics-reference.md', and 'scripts/sample_size_calculator.py' — or remove the references; currently all three paths are dangling.
Signal what each reference contains at the point of reference (e.g., '**Playbook**: end-to-end experiment design walkthrough in references/experiment-playbook.md') and move the 'See:' list to a purpose-labeled section.
Make the sample-size guidance executable without the script: show the calculator's expected output, and/or inline the sample-size formula as a fallback so the workflow's step 3 is actionable even if the script is unavailable.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and list-driven with no padded paragraphs, but a few lines re-teach concepts Claude already knows (ICE component definitions like 'Impact: potential upside', and 'p-value < alpha indicates evidence against null'), matching the efficient-with-minor-trims anchor at 4 rather than fully lean at 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is concrete in shape — an If/Then/Because template with placeholders, the ICE formula, and two bash invocations with flags — but every command calls 'scripts/sample_size_calculator.py', which does not exist in the bundle, and no expected output or fallback formula is given, so the central tooling is not executable as shipped. This is a key missing detail (anchor 3) rather than a minor gap (anchor 4). | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Core Workflow gives a clear six-step sequence (hypothesis → metrics → sample size → prioritize → launch with stopping rules → interpret) and the Hypothesis Quality Checklist provides a checkpoint, but the checklist is not wired into the flow and pre-launch validation (e.g., a sample-ratio-mismatch check, mentioned only as a pitfall) is implicit — matching the most-checkpoints-with-minor-gaps anchor at 4. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The 'See:' section points to 'references/experiment-playbook.md' and 'references/statistics-reference.md' and the tooling section relies on 'scripts/sample_size_calculator.py', yet none of these files exist in the bundle — the disclosure promise is broken by dangling references, and the bare 'See:' list gives no signal of each file's contents. This falls below the poorly-signaled-but-present-references anchor at 3, closer to the broken-structure anchor at 2. | 2 / 5 |
