77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is an exceptionally actionable, well-sequenced workflow with strong validation checkpoints and feedback loops. Its weaknesses are mild verbosity from cross-referenced repetition and a monolithic single-file structure with no progressive disclosure of its detailed templates and rules into reference files.
Suggestions
Move the reusable templates (the 04-ledger.md template, the per-story Gherkin/checklist schema) into reference files under references/ and link to them one level deep, splitting the 165-line monolith.
De-duplicate the attempt-accounting rules: state them once in 4.1.6 and have 4.2.4 reference that section instead of restating the max-attempts totals.
Tighten the Adversary respawn/death rules in 4.1.5c–d into a compact fallback table to reduce token weight without losing the fail-closed guarantees.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and prescriptive and does not explain concepts Claude already knows, but at ~165 lines it includes repetition (attempt accounting appears in both 4.1.6 and 4.2.4) and elaborate Adversary respawn rules that could be tightened, matching the "mostly efficient but could be tightened" anchor rather than "every token earns its place". | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | It gives fully executable guidance: an exact ledger template, a mandatory COMMAND:/EXIT_CODE: evidence contract, and concrete commands such as `git log --grep "^US-<n>:"` and `git show --stat`, making the workflow copy-paste ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 1–4 are explicitly sequenced with validation checkpoints (evidence-proven ticks, Adversary fresh-context verification, regression/commit-integrity/intent-drift sweeps) and clear fail→fix→re-prove feedback loops, the exemplar for this dimension. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist and the skill is a single 165-line SKILL.md; it is well-sectioned with clear headings, but content that could be split out (the ledger template, the per-story schema, the Adversary rules) is all inline, fitting the "some structure but content that should be separate is inline" anchor rather than the simple-skill exception (which applies only under 50 lines). | 2 / 3 |
