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 body is a tight, well-sequenced shipping checklist with explicit verification steps and a completion guard. Its main weakness is actionability: several steps defer the concrete commands and recovery actions to external docs without stating them.
Suggestions
Add the concrete command(s) or a one-line example for the protected-main merge and CI monitoring steps, or state the recovery action when CI fails or conflict drift is detected.
Surface the docs/development/quality-gates.md reference more explicitly (e.g., a short 'References' line) so the one-level-deep pointer is clearly navigable.
Specify which required checks to re-run, or name the check target, so step 2 is executable without opening the external file.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~20-line numbered checklist is lean and assumes Claude's competence with no padded explanation or restated concepts, matching the 'lean and efficient; every token earns its place' anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Steps give concrete intent ('Re-run the required checks from docs/development/quality-gates.md', 'Create signed conventional commits only') but defer actual commands and specifics to external docs/workflows, leaving key execution details incomplete as in the 'some concrete guidance but incomplete' anchor. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Eight steps are clearly sequenced with verification checkpoints (monitor CI in step 6, inspect for conflict markers and generated drift in step 7, plus the closing guard), but error-recovery feedback for CI failure or detected drift is only implied, fitting 'clear sequence with most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps'. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The single short file is well-organized as a numbered list and references one external doc one level deep, but the quality-gates reference is inline within a step rather than clearly signaled as a separate navigable target, matching 'good structure; references mostly clear; minor organization gaps'. | 4 / 5 |
