85%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 excellent routing-oriented body: fully executable CLI guidance, a well-sequenced discovery workflow with explicit pivot loops, and clean one-level-deep progressive disclosure to real reference files. The main cost is token redundancy from restated principles, duplicated command listings, and partially repetitive examples.
Suggestions
Cut the Key Principles section or reduce it to only non-obvious items (e.g., the stderr-warnings note), since most bullets restate the Loading References, Discovery Workflow, and Fallback sections verbatim.
Trim the CLI Commands Reference table to commands not already shown in the Discovery Workflow, or replace the inline Step 2 command blocks with a pointer to the table to avoid dual maintenance.
Reduce the four Examples to two representative ones (one ambiguous-source, one clear-first-choice) since they largely restate the discovery and pivoting guidance already given.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient with no beginner-concept padding, but noticeably redundant: the Key Principles section restates earlier sections ("Load references before querying", "Pivot on failure", "Discover before querying"), the CLI Commands Reference table repeats commands already shown in Discovery Workflow Step 2, and four Examples restate the same workflow. Not 4 because the duplication is more than minor trimming; not 2 because there is no concept over-explanation and every section carries some unique value. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands with concrete flags and patterns ("cx metrics search --name '*transaction*'", "cx search-fields 'payment_failed' -s value --dataset logs") plus specific examples covering logs, spans, metrics, and RUM cases. The only placeholder ("cx dataprime query --source rum.events '...'") defers query syntax to the referenced file, which is appropriate. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Discovery Workflow is a clear 4-step sequence with explicit conditional branches after each step ("If a matching metric is found, load ..."), a dedicated Fallback and Pivoting section with an explicit recovery loop ("Do not stop after one failed attempt. Try at least two pillars"), and codebase-validation guidance. Read-only commands need no destructive-operation validation, so no cap applies. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a pure router/overview pointing to seven real, one-level-deep reference files organized in a clear pillar-based table, and all referenced paths (dataprime-reference.md, logs-querying.md, spans-querying.md, promql-guidelines.md, metrics-querying.md, rum-querying.md, rum-fields.md) exist in the bundle. Query-language detail is correctly kept out of the body. | 5 / 5 |
