92%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.
An exceptionally well-engineered orchestrator skill: deterministic routing with exit-code semantics, a bounded discovery loop with machine gates and explicit stop states, and textbook progressive disclosure verified against the actual bundle. The only weakness is redundancy between the Hard rules, Anti-patterns, and Non-goals sections, which restate the same constraints.
Suggestions
Merge the Anti-patterns section into the Hard rules (e.g. '❌ Cite an OST that fails the linter' restates rule 1, 'Let the discovery streak die silently' restates the DORMANT escalation) to reclaim ~10 lines of token budget.
Trim the Non-goals section to a one-line pointer — its project-management / marketing / agent-harness boundaries are already stated verbatim in the frontmatter description.
The terminal 'Loop vocabulary: loop-library' reference gives no resolvable path; either give it a concrete path like the agent-harness pointer or drop it.

Conciseness | The body is dense and assumes domain competence (names RICE, WSJF, JTBD, OST without explaining them), but the 'Hard rules' and 'Anti-patterns' sections state the same rules twice (OST-lint gating, silent discovery death, RICE-as-only-lens), and 'Non-goals' repeats the frontmatter's distinctness boundaries. This matches 'efficient; minor instances that could be trimmed' rather than the every-token-earns-its-place anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Every workflow ships copy-paste-ready commands whose flags match the bundled scripts (e.g. `python3 scripts/product_goal_router.py --text "<the goal>" --output json`, `discovery_cadence_tracker.py --input discovery_log.json`), with behaviorally specified exit codes ('Exit 2 → ask ONE clarifying question', 'exit 2 = NEEDS-REWORK, fix before citing the tree') and sample data shapes in assets/. Fully executable guidance covering the common routing, loop, and harness cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The discovery loop is a clearly sequenced 5-step process (Observe → Choose → Act → Verify → Record/Repeat-or-stop) with machine-checkable validation gates at explicit thresholds (cadence tracker refuses on < 2 interviews / exit 5; OST linter exit 2 = NEEDS-REWORK), feedback loops ('fix before citing the tree'), and explicit stop states with named escalation ('DORMANT for 4+ weeks → escalate to the product lead by name'). | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | SKILL.md is a genuine overview: three reference files (continuous_discovery_canon.md, product_operating_model.md, ai_product_evals.md) all exist in the bundle, are one level deep (external URLs only, no nested references), and are signaled both at point of use in the Hard rules and in a dedicated References section with one-line descriptions. Data shapes are externalized to assets/ and logic to scripts/, keeping the body navigable. | 5 / 5 |
