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.
A lean, well-structured instruction-only protocol: every section is an actionable rule with explicit validation gates and fail-closed error handling, and it is appropriately self-contained with no external references. The only improvements are removing duplicated sentences and concretizing the deferred caller-side mechanisms (transport gate, safe-output calls).
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is terse, imperative, and teaches nothing Claude already knows, but contains literal repetition — 'Do not monitor it or plan a fallback CI-fix PR' appears twice (Stop bullet and dedup rule 4), and the keep-one-PR rule is restated across sections. Minor trims would earn a 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete guidance throughout: exact decision labels (Continue/Watch/Stop/Skip), an exhaustive closing-keyword list (Fix, Fixes, Fixed, Close... Resolved), exact reference formats (Refs: dotnet/maui#<issue>), and a named error path (report_incomplete). Falls short of fully executable because several mechanisms stay abstract ('the caller's transport gate', 'a supported safe-output call', 'patch-byte bounds') with no concrete command or shape. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Sections are clearly sequenced (decision -> dedup -> evidence -> bounds -> write gate) with explicit validation checkpoints ('Verify the cited failure still reproduces on the latest completed base-branch build', ancestor/append-only/in-bounds transport checks) and explicit error-recovery behavior (never retry a failed mutation; request report_incomplete and stop). The destructive/batch cap does not apply because validation is abundantly present. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist and none are needed: the ~85-line protocol is self-contained, well-sectioned with descriptive headers, free of nested references, and all inline content (rules, keyword list) legitimately belongs in SKILL.md. | 5 / 5 |
