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 well-structured, actionable research methodology with concrete commands, explicit citation/evidence standards, and a clearly sequenced 5-iteration workflow. Its main weaknesses are minor redundancy between the depth-invariant sections and the absence of any progressive-disclosure split despite exceeding the simple-skill line count.
Suggestions
Consolidate 'Depth Before Breadth' and 'Zero Tolerance for Shallow Research' into a single invariants block to remove the restated 'go deep, don't guess' redundancy.
Add one fully-resolved example citation (both linked and local forms) so the citation format is copy-paste ready rather than only templated.
Since the body exceeds 50 lines, consider moving the evidence-standard table and per-iteration detail into a references file linked from a concise overview to improve progressive disclosure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean, using directives, tables, and lists without explaining concepts Claude already knows; minor redundancy between 'Depth Before Breadth' and 'Zero Tolerance for Shallow Research' (both restate 'go deep, don't guess') keeps it just below a 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Gives concrete commands ('git remote get-url origin', 'git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD'), explicit citation formats, a defined 5-iteration process, and a HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW confidence scheme; minor gaps (no full example linked citation, Mermaid dark-mode colors unspecified) hold it at 4. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear sequence with a 'MUST DO FIRST' gate ('Do NOT proceed until source repo context is resolved') and five building iterations with checkpoints; this is a research skill so the destructive/batch cap does not apply, but minor validation/loop-back gaps remain. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist; the body is a single self-contained doc with well-organized section headers and no buried or nested references, but at ~75 lines with no one-level-deep detail-file pointers it sits just below the well-organized-and-short 5 anchor. | 4 / 5 |
