82%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-sequenced, highly actionable workflow with copy-paste CLI commands, explicit state handling, and concrete output templates, all without padding. Its only weaknesses are mild redundancy between the guardrails and the 'Fluid Workflow Integration' section and a missing end-of-run verification step against the CLI.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and imperative throughout, with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows. Minor trimmable redundancy exists: the 'Fluid Workflow Integration' section repeats the guardrail about updating artifacts when implementation reveals issues, and 'keep changes minimal' appears in both the task loop and the guardrails. Fits 'Efficient; minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed' rather than 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Commands are copy-paste ready with explicit flags (`openspec status --change "<name>" --json`, `openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json`), state handling is concrete (`state: "blocked"`, `state: "all_done"`), task completion uses exact checkbox syntax `- [ ]` → `- [x]`, and full output templates cover the common cases. Matches 'Fully executable; copy-paste ready code or commands; specific examples cover the common cases'. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 7-step sequence is clear with explicit validation via state checks (blocked/all_done) and pause-on-error checkpoints, plus a guardrails checklist. A minor validation gap: the workflow never re-runs `openspec status --json` at the end to verify the recorded progress matches the file edits. Fits 'Clear sequence with most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps' rather than 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist and none are needed for this single-file procedural workflow; sections are well-organized with clear headers and everything inline belongs inline. Minor organization gaps (the redundant closing section and interleaved output templates) keep it at 'Good structure; most content is appropriately placed; minor organization gaps' rather than the cleanly split, well-signaled structure of anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
