73%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 strong execution document: concrete commands, a validated six-step pipeline with feedback loops and error recovery, and a crisp quality bar. Its weaknesses are redundancy — the same six sections are stated three times across "What this does", the pipeline, and "Quality bar" — and two conformance-test-only tail sections that waste context.
Suggestions
Delete or relocate the "Contract" and "Output Format" sections; their own text admits they exist only for the conformance test and they add no execution value.
Consolidate "What this does" and "Quality bar" into one section — both enumerate the same six output requirements (executive summary, quotes, insights, why-it-matters, see-also, details block).
Give the two non-executable steps concrete form: the put_page call signature and an example back-link edit, so every pipeline step has a copy-paste-ready artifact.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The core sections (pipeline, invocation, model selection, failure modes, anti-patterns) are lean, but "What this does" and "Quality bar" restate the same six sections, the pipeline appears in two parallel forms, and the "Contract"/"Output Format" tail sections (~14 lines) explicitly exist only "for the conformance test". Not 4 because this duplication and test-only meta content is more than minor trimming. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete commands are given ("gbrain query \"needs_enrichment: true type:article\" --limit 50", "gbrain get media/articles/<slug>", "gbrain write-request <request_id>") plus a precise quality bar with counts and a model-selection table. Not 5 because the put_page write and the cross-link steps name operations ("add a timeline back-link") without any syntax or example. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clearly sequenced six-step pipeline with an explicit quality-bar checklist, a spot-check feedback loop ("If quotes are paraphrased, switch to Opus for that batch"), and error-recovery protocols for revision_conflict and write_pending. Validation is present for the batch/mutating operation, so the cap does not apply, and all anchor-5 elements (checklist, feedback loop, error recovery) are present. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single-file skill with well-organized sections and clearly signaled, one-level-deep references to conventions files at the top (quality.md, _brain-filing-rules.md, agent-operator-protocol.md). Not 5 because the Contract/Output Format meta sections add navigation noise and the body runs long for an overview, leaving minor organization gaps. | 4 / 5 |
