81%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 highly actionable, well-sequenced editing framework with explicit feedback loops and verified one-level-deep references. The main weakness is conciseness: generic editing knowledge and sections that duplicate the sweeps inflate the body at the expense of the token budget.
Suggestions
Cut or move to a reference the Quick-Pass word/sentence/paragraph checks that restate knowledge Claude already has (cut intensifiers, avoid passive voice, vary sentence length), keeping only the non-obvious rules like 'max 3 conjunctions' and '25 words usually.'
Remove 'Common Problems & Fixes' entries that duplicate the sweeps (Wall of Features ≈ Sweep 3, No Proof ≈ Sweep 4, Generic Claims ≈ Sweep 5), or fold the section into the sweep it duplicates as a one-line symptom summary.
Consolidate the duplicate pointers to content-refresh.md — both the 'References' section and the 'Content Refresh Editing' section link to it — into a single reference entry.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient — dense tables and checklists rather than conceptual padding — but includes unnecessary material Claude already knows ('Very, really, extremely... (weak intensifiers)'; 'Passive voice (switch to active)'; 'Vary sentence length (mix short and long)') and duplicated content: the 'Common Problems & Fixes' entries restate sweeps 3-5 ('No Proof' ≈ Sweep 4, 'Generic Claims' ≈ Sweep 5, 'Wall of Features' ≈ Sweep 3). Anchor 3 fits best: over-explanation and redundancy exceed the 'minor instances' of anchor 4 but are far from anchor 2's pervasive padding. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully concrete, executable guidance for an instruction-only skill: exact rules ('Max 3 conjunctions per sentence,' 'no more than 25 words (usually),' 'one fragment and one list of three per section'), an AI-tell table with Pattern/Example/Fix columns, a vague-to-specific replacement table, a named convention for missing facts ('mark [NEED: ...] instead of inventing one'), and scored thresholds ('iterate until all personas score 7+, with an average of 8+'). Matches anchor 5. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The process is clearly sequenced — diagnose mode A/B/C before editing ('A point edit skips the Seven Sweeps'), run sweeps 1-7 in order, run the AI-tell check 'on every edit, after the sweeps,' then the expert panel and the final checklist in references/checklist.md — with explicit feedback loops at every checkpoint ('After each sweep, loop back to check previous sweeps aren't compromised'; 'Repeat until clean - Continue until a full sweep finds no new issues'). Matches anchor 5: clear sequence, explicit validation steps, feedback loops, and checklists. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | All three bundle files (checklist.md, content-refresh.md, plain-english-alternatives.md) exist, are one level deep, and are clearly signaled with content descriptions in the References section. However, the ~490-line body inlines content that could live in references — the Quick-Pass word/sentence/paragraph checks, the Expert Panel rosters, and the duplicated Common Problems section — fitting anchor 4 (good structure, most content appropriately placed, minor organization gaps) rather than anchor 5's lean overview split. | 4 / 5 |
