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.
The content is a well-structured, actionable research workflow with concrete commands, an explicit evidence-quality gate, error-recovery paths, and a defined output format. It scores solidly across dimensions but leaves minor room to trim redundant lists and tighten guidance.
Suggestions
Trim lists that restate Claude's existing knowledge (e.g., "Look for: README documentation, Code examples, Architecture patterns") to improve conciseness.
Replace the placeholder clone URL with a realistic example and specify what a repo summary in ./scratch/research/ should contain to make guidance fully copy-paste ready.
Merge or shorten the Example Usage section, which partially repeats the Research Process steps.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is efficient with concrete commands and templates throughout, but a few lists tell Claude things it already knows ("Look for: README documentation, Code examples, Architecture patterns"), fitting anchor 4 (efficient, minor instances that could be trimmed) rather than the every-token-earns-its-place level of 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides mostly executable guidance — copy-paste bash commands (git clone, mkdir), a complete output-format template, and a fully worked example — with minor gaps such as the placeholder owner/repo and no concrete structure for repo summaries, matching anchor 4. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Five clearly sequenced steps with an explicit evidence gate ("Minimum 2-3 datapoints required") and fallback paths (blocked content → ask user; insufficient evidence → ask guidance). The checkpoints are present but slightly softer than the explicit validate/fix/re-validate rigor of anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single well-organized self-contained file with clear section headers and no nested or buried references. At ~100 lines it sits above the simple-skill threshold where organization alone earns a 5, so anchor 4 (good structure, minor organization gaps) is the best fit. | 4 / 5 |
