77%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 well structured: an executable quick start that matches the real bundled script, a clearly sequenced three-phase workflow with explicit validation and revert-on-failure feedback loops, and an appropriate one-level-deep split between overview and implementation. The main weakness is token efficiency — it restates well-known TDD methodology and repeats phase information in both code comments and detail lists.
Suggestions
Cut the "Phase Details" numbered lists (or the code-block comments) since they restate the same phase information twice, and assume Claude already knows what RED-GREEN-REFACTOR means.
Make the Quick Start copy-paste ready by showing how `project_dir` and `feature` are obtained (e.g., a minimal feature dict example).
State how the Configuration options are passed (constructor argument, config file path, or environment) so the block is actionable rather than descriptive.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient and code-first, but it explains TDD concepts Claude already knows ("Write failing tests first", "Implement minimum code to pass", "Clean up while tests pass") and duplicates phase information between the code-block comments and the "Phase Details" numbered lists. It is tighter than the noticeably-verbose anchor but carries more redundancy than a minor-trim case. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | The Quick Start and phase snippets are real, executable calls that match the actual scripts/tdd_runner.py API (run_cycle, red_phase, green_phase, refactor_phase), and the Cycle Result and Configuration blocks document output and options. However, `project_dir` and `feature` are undefined placeholders and the Configuration block never says how options are supplied, leaving minor gaps below fully copy-paste-ready. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The RED→GREEN→REFACTOR sequence is clearly ordered with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops: "If tests pass unexpectedly, add more specific assertions", "If tests fail, iterate on implementation", "Run tests after each change", and "Revert if tests fail". This matches the top anchor's clear sequence with error-recovery loops. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The SKILL.md is a well-organized ~125-line overview whose single deep content — the implementation — lives in scripts/tdd_runner.py, referenced with a clear one-level-deep pointer ("See scripts/tdd_runner.py for full implementation"), and that file exists with the documented API. Content is appropriately split and easy to navigate. | 5 / 5 |
