71%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 content is concise and well-structured with a clear sequenced workflow and explicit validation, but the strategic guidance stays at a high level and lacks concrete, executable detail for each step.
Suggestions
Add concrete elaboration to each step — e.g. for 'Establish legal systems', specify what to codify (ranks, land tenure, rewards/punishments) and the ordering principle, so the guidance is actionable rather than a directive.
Turn the Validation section into a feedback loop: state what to do when a check fails (re-prioritize internal reforms, re-form alliances) before proceeding to the next phase.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean — short bulleted steps with no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows, and the single Overview sentence earns its place by attributing the model to Shang Yang's governance of Qin, matching the 'lean and efficient; every token earns its place' anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is high-level hints ('Create and codify laws to govern the state', 'Use diplomacy to make neighboring states fight each other') that name actions but miss the specific steps to execute them, comparable to the anchor-2 example rather than the more concrete anchor-3. | 2 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear numbered 1–5 sequence split into Internal Reforms then External Strategy, plus an explicit Validation section with three verification checks; held at 4 because there is no validate→fix→retry feedback loop, which the level-5 anchor requires. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Under 50 lines with no need for external references, organized into clear Overview / Steps / Expected Outcomes / Validation sections, qualifying for the simple-skill exception that allows a 5 with well-organized sections. | 5 / 5 |
