70%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.
Highly actionable and workflow-excellent content: complete templates, worked examples, validation checkpoints, and feedback loops leave nothing ambiguous about how to generate or structure a research prompt. Its main weakness is token efficiency — heavy duplication between the generic templates and the two full example prompts — and the absence of any progressive disclosure, with everything inlined in a single ~735-line file.
Suggestions
Move the two full worked example prompts (security audit, framework comparison) into an examples/ reference file, keeping only a one-line pointer per example in SKILL.md; this would cut roughly 300 lines while preserving the templates that carry the actual instructions.
Collapse the 'Best Practices' DO/DON'T lists into the existing phase success criteria (they restate the same guidance) and trim the 'Ralph Philosophy' paragraph to a single sentence.
Create a references/ directory for the phase deliverable templates (inventory, analysis notes, findings summary, recommendations formats) so the main body reads as a compact overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |

Conciseness | The ~735-line body contains two full worked example prompts (~300 lines) that largely restate the phase structure already specified in the workflow templates, plus DO/DON'T 'Best Practices' lists repeating earlier guidance and a motivational 'Ralph Philosophy' paragraph. This is noticeably verbose with several padded sections — anchor 2; not 1 because it never explains concepts Claude already knows, and not 3 because the redundancy is substantial rather than incidental. | 2 / 5 |
Actionability | Copy-paste-ready generation snippet in Quick Start, complete markdown templates for every phase deliverable with exact file formats, checkpoint blocks, two fully worked example prompts, and a concrete integration command ('/ralph-wiggum:ralph-loop "..." --completion-promise "..." --max-iterations 50'). Fully executable with specific examples covering the common cases — anchor 5. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 4-step generation workflow, and the generated prompt embeds per-phase success criteria, explicit checkpoint blocks ('DISCOVERY COMPLETE: ...'), final completeness/quality checklists, and an 'If Stuck' error-recovery loop ('Do NOT skip analysis or output false promise'). Clear sequence with explicit validation, feedback loops, and checklists — anchor 5. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ all absent), so all content lives in one file: ~300 lines of worked examples and extended templates that clearly belong in separate reference files are inlined. Good section headers keep it navigable and cross-links to sibling skills exist, so structure is present but content that should be split out is inline — anchor 3, not 2 (the document is well-sectioned, not headerless), not 4 (bulk content is not appropriately placed in separate files). | 3 / 5 |
