71%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 well-structured, mostly actionable instruction-only workflow with explicit validation checkpoints, weakened mainly by redundant restatements of the objective and a couple of under-specified steps.
Suggestions
Remove the duplicate objective statement (drop either the opening "You are tasked with…" line or the ## Objective section) to cut redundancy.
Specify how to check for newer stable versions (e.g., a Gradle Versions Plugin command or Maven Central lookup) and how to check <depends> against actual API usage.
Add an explicit error-recovery loop in step 6 (e.g., "If verifyPlugin fails, review build.gradle/plugin.xml changes, fix, and re-run ./gradlew verifyPlugin before proceeding").
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The objective is stated three times (description, opening "You are tasked with…", and the ## Objective section) and baseline commands (./gradlew test, verifyPlugin) recur in step 6, so it could be tightened despite no concept over-explanation. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete commands (./gradlew buildPlugin, verifyPlugin, testClasses) and specific files (build.gradle dependencies block, plugin.xml <depends> tags, lib/*.jar) are given, but steps like "Check for newer stable versions" lack an executable command. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 7-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoints (baseline in step 1, verify in step 6), though the error-recovery feedback loop (what to do if verify fails) is only implicit rather than stated. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Under 50 lines with no bundle files and no need for external references, organized into clear numbered sections — meets the simple-skill exception for a top score on progressive disclosure. | 5 / 5 |
