73%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 body is a well-structured, highly actionable 6-phase workflow with explicit validation and a real one-level-deep bundle, but it repeats the trigger-phrase and privacy-contract content across multiple sections and inlines material that could live in references, costing token efficiency.
Suggestions
Dedupe the trigger phrases and privacy contract: state each once (frontmatter already covers triggers) and have the body cross-reference rather than restate them, to tighten conciseness from 3 toward 4.
Move the full vally YAML template and scoring formula into a references/ file (e.g. references/emit-eval-pattern.md) and link to it from Phase 6, letting the body stay a leaner overview and lifting progressive_disclosure toward 5.
Add one fully worked example proposal (filled Category/Priority/Location/Specific Change/Why It Helps) in Phase 5 to remove placeholders and push actionability from 4 to 5.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient and assumes Claude's competence (no padding about what PowerShell or session logs are), but the trigger phrases and privacy contract are each restated across the frontmatter, callout, Architecture, Privacy & safety, and When-NOT-to-use sections, and the ASCII diagram is re-explained in prose — more than the 'minor' trimming a score-4 allows. Not a 2 because it never lapses into explaining concepts Claude already knows. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides copy-paste-ready pwsh invocations with full args, a complete vally YAML template, an explicit scoring formula, and exact proposal/eval file paths — mostly executable guidance. Held at 4 rather than 5 because the vally template and proposal table rely on placeholders (<skill>, <mode>, <scenario>, <TOKEN>) and no fully worked example proposal is shown inline. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 6-phase loop is clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints: Phase 6 runs `npx ... vally-cli ... lint --strict` on every emitted eval, Phase 5 gates edits behind user approval, and a Completion-criteria checklist closes the loop — satisfying the feedback-loop requirement for batch/eval-emitting operations that would otherwise cap this dimension at 3. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Good structure with one-level-deep references: the body points to the real `references/design-rationale.md` and `scripts/Get-SessionAnalysis.ps1` (both verified to exist, and design-rationale.md does not nest further references). Held at 4 rather than 5 because the body inlines sizable content (full vally template, scoring formula) that a leaner overview would defer to a reference file. | 4 / 5 |
