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.
A well-structured, highly actionable workflow document with explicit validation checkpoints and a properly referenced one-level-deep template. Its main cost is token duplication of template content inline, which pushes the body past ~250 lines where it could be leaner.
Suggestions
Trim the duplicated detail: replace the 'Agent Context Blocks' required-fields list and the good/bad test-spec examples in the body with one-line pointers to references/template.md, which already contains them in full.
Consolidate 'Test Specifications at Boundaries' and 'Phase Boundaries' into the Step 3 walkthrough to remove repeated guidance about behavioral specs and small focused phases.
Give the beads commands concrete invocation syntax (or point to where it is defined) so the procedure is copy-paste executable rather than relying on command names alone.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient, project-specific instruction, but template.md is referenced five times while the body still re-lists the required sections, Agent Context required fields, and good/bad test-spec examples that the template carries in full; 'Test Specifications at Boundaries' and 'Agent Context Blocks' largely repeat Step 3 content. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Highly actionable — exact output path pattern, named beads commands (beads:epic, beads:dep, beads:label, beads:ready), a concrete 6-phase decomposition example, and a fully specified Inline Task Graph fallback. Minor gaps: beads commands lack invocation syntax and the inline example ends with '...' placeholders. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear numbered sequence (Steps 1-5 plus 3b) with explicit validation: a beads availability check with fallback mode, RED/GREEN gates, per-phase verification checklists, an Approval Checklist section, a user review loop in Step 4, and session recovery via beads:ready — feedback loops and checklists are all present. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Good structure: the full 496-line plan template is appropriately split into a real, one-level-deep, clearly signaled reference, and the body stays at overview altitude. Not a 5 because required-fields lists and test-spec good/bad examples are duplicated between body and template — a minor organization gap. | 4 / 5 |
