77%Weight 40%Scale 1-3Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is exceptionally actionable and the multi-round loop is sequenced with strong validation checkpoints, but it is let down by verbosity/repetition and a monolithic structure that ships no bundle files of its own despite deferring to external references.
Suggestions
Tighten the body: collapse the repeated re-explanations of the candidate-work-delegation, resource-cap, and bounded-run invariants into a single 'Invariants' block, and trim the 'Plain-language trigger' section which duplicates the frontmatter description.
Split the bulkier inline sections into bundle reference files under this skill (e.g. references/host-spawn.md for the per-host spawn table, references/backends.md for pool/remote-backend mode, references/ideator-flow.md for steps 6b–6c) and link to them one level deep from SKILL.md.
Move the per-host spawn-command catalogue (claude-code/codex/hermes/openclaw/opencode/pi/cursor/kimi) out of the main loop narrative into a referenced table so Step 5 reads as protocol rather than a host-compatibility manual.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is ~52KB / ~590 lines and, while it does not explain basic concepts Claude already knows, it is padded with heavy repetition and over-emphasis — the 'Plain-language trigger' section duplicates the description, and invariants (candidate-work delegation, resource-cap, bounded-run) are re-explained at length multiple times. It is mostly domain-specific protocol that earns its place, but a great deal could be tightened, so it sits above the verbose anchor-1 and below the lean anchor-3. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Highly actionable throughout: exact CLI commands (`evo scratchpad`, `evo frontier`, `evo prune <id> --exhausted --reason "..."`, `evo wait --for ... --timeout 60m`), a verbatim scan-subagent prompt, a mandatory verbatim opening sentence for subagent prompts, and per-host spawn commands — copy-paste ready rather than abstract. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The Loop is a clearly sequenced Step 0 → 8 process with explicit validation checkpoints — mandatory project.md read (Step 0), host migration (Step 0.1), diversity check 'before spawning', verifier pre/post hooks, 'Verify every pattern before emitting it', and a step-5 self-check that spawned count equals subagents=N. Feedback loops for batch/destructive operations (prune, remote recovery, epoch reset) are present, so it is not capped at 2. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | It does signal one-level-deep external references well (sizing-the-round.md, evo-wait.md, cli-quick-reference.md, provider-matrix.md, ideator.md) and deliberately avoids inlining the full CLI map / surface tree, which keeps it above anchor-1. But no bundle files ship with this skill and the SKILL.md itself is a 52KB monolith with large inline blocks (per-host spawn tables, pool/remote mode docs, the full ideator subsection) that should be split out, so it does not meet 'content appropriately split'. | 2 / 3 |
