67%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-sequenced, highly actionable planning workflow with concrete scripts, files, and validation gates. Its main weakness is the near-verbatim duplication of the extension-hook block, which hurts conciseness and could be factored into a shared reference.
Suggestions
De-duplicate the extension-hook handling: define the hook rules once and reference them from both Pre-Execution Checks and step 5 instead of repeating ~30 lines verbatim.
Add an explicit fix-and-retry loop for gate/clarification failures (e.g., "On ERROR: resolve the violation, then re-run the Constitution Check before proceeding") to push workflow_clarity toward 5.
Move the large hook output templates into a referenced file (e.g., references/hooks.md) and link to it, improving progressive_disclosure and conciseness.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly lean and assumes Claude's competence, but the extension-hook logic is duplicated almost verbatim between "Pre-Execution Checks" and step 5 (~30 repeated lines) that could be tightened or factored out. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance dominates: exact script path (`.specify/scripts/bash/setup-plan.sh --json`), named files (FEATURE_SPEC, IMPL_PLAN, constitution.md), exact output artifacts, and a precise dot-to-hyphen command transformation, with only minor gaps in artifact content format. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear numbered sequence (Setup → Load context → Execute → Stop/report → Hooks) with prerequisites and validation gates ("ERROR if violations unjustified", "Re-evaluate Constitution Check post-design") is present, though explicit fix-and-retry feedback loops are only implied rather than spelled out. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist, so the ~150-line body is self-contained; section structure (User Input, Pre-Execution Checks, Outline, Phases, Key rules) is well-organized with clear headers, though the verbose hook output templates are inlined rather than split out. | 4 / 5 |
