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 action-oriented and well-structured with executable gbrain commands, a clear pre-pull-to-phases sequence, and explicit anti-patterns. It is held to 4 across dimensions by light redundancy and the absence of an explicit validation checkpoint and any progressive-disclosure file split.
Suggestions
Add a brief validation step before composing (e.g., 'confirm each context pull returned data; if a query is empty, flag the gap rather than silently omitting it') to strengthen the workflow feedback loop.
Consolidate the repeated citation/back-linking guidance (currently in Contract, Output Format, and a dedicated section) into one place, pointing the others to it, to tighten token efficiency.
Move the detailed filing/back-linking rules fully into skills/_brain-filing-rules.md and reference them once, leaving the SKILL.md body as a lean overview.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient with concrete commands and no padding explaining what gbrain is or basic concepts; the context-loading and citation/back-linking guidance is restated across multiple sections and could be consolidated, keeping it below 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable `gbrain` commands with specific flags (salience, anomalies, recall --since-last-run --supersessions) and explicit query strings; a few phases are described rather than given as copy-paste commands, so not 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear ordered sequence (Pre-Briefing pulls 0a-0d then Phases 1-6), but no explicit validation/verify checkpoint or error-recovery loop before composing; the skill is read-only so the destructive cap does not strictly apply, leaving it at 4 rather than 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist; the ~175-line body is well-organized with clear section headers and one-level-deep external references (skills/_brain-filing-rules.md), but it is a single monolithic doc with restated filing/back-linking rules rather than a split-file structure, so not 5. | 4 / 5 |
