Content
75%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 body: all guidance is executable code and config with a sensible setup-to-run flow, a preview-first validation step, and a troubleshooting section. The main costs are token-weight from triple-stated gotchas and body/reference duplication, plus one dangling reference (./tiaogaoren/) that breaks navigation at the point it promises a full worked example.
Suggestions
De-duplicate the relay/apiBaseUrl and maxConcurrency/commandLineOptions gotchas: state each once in its primary section and keep only one-line pointers in Troubleshooting (or move the pointers into the troubleshooting entries) to lift conciseness.
Remove or fix the dangling "See: ./tiaogaoren/ (example project root)" reference — either include the directory in the bundle or replace it with the inline structure snippet already shown, so progressive disclosure navigation is fully intact.
Replace the duplicated Echo Provider section with a two-line pointer to references/promptfoo_api.md, and add an explicit line telling the reader that the bundled scripts/metrics.py implements the assertion helpers shown inline.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient, executable examples, but the relay/apiBaseUrl gotcha is stated three times (in the llm-rubric section, its best-practices list, and Troubleshooting) and the maxConcurrency/commandLineOptions rule likewise three times, and the Echo Provider section duplicates content already in references/promptfoo_api.md — fitting the score-3 anchor ("could be tightened") rather than score 4's "minor instances". | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Every section provides copy-paste-ready YAML, Python, or bash (full promptfooconfig.yaml, working get_assert/custom_check/strip_tags functions, echo-provider preview config, CLI commands with flags), fully covering the common cases per the score-5 anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The init → config → prompts/tests → assertions → preview → run → view sequence is logically ordered with an explicit validation checkpoint ("Use echo provider first to verify structure") and a troubleshooting section for error recovery, but validation is recommended per-topic rather than woven into one explicit numbered workflow, leaving the minor gaps of the score-4 anchor; it is not score 5 because there is no single validate-then-proceed checklist. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Headers are clear, the reference (references/promptfoo_api.md) is real and one level deep with a clearly signaled link, but the body's "See: ./tiaogaoren/" points at a directory that does not exist in the bundle, scripts/metrics.py is never explicitly offered as a bundled asset, and the Echo Provider content is duplicated between body and reference — minor organization gaps per the score-4 anchor rather than score 5's clean split. | 4 / 5 |
