Content
50%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The content is a compact, well-sequenced overview with concrete commands, a page template, and clearly signaled external references. Its weaknesses are minor redundancy of the back-linking rule, vague fetch/transcribe/OCR steps, and a missing verification loop for batch entity propagation.
Suggestions
Tighten the repeated back-linking guidance into a single authoritative statement (e.g., keep it in the Contract and reference it from Phase 4) to improve conciseness.
Make the fetch/transcribe/OCR steps actionable by naming specific tools or commands (or at least a deterministic selection rule) instead of 'available STT service' / 'OCR via vision model'.
Add a verification step in Phase 4 (e.g., confirm each back-link and timeline entry was written) to give the batch entity-propagation workflow an explicit feedback loop.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and well-organized with no concept explanations Claude already knows, but the back-linking rule is stated three times (contract bullet, the 'Every mention... MUST create a back-link' blockquote, and Phase 4), which is redundant. It is not 3 because of that repetition, and not 1 because there is no padding or unnecessary concept explanation. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | It provides some concrete, executable elements ('gbrain files upload-raw <file> --page <slug>', 'gbrain sync', and a copy-paste page template), but the core fetch steps are vague ('Transcribe with available STT service', 'OCR via vision model', 'Fetch transcript (Whisper, transcription service, or captions)'). It is not 3 because key steps are non-executable, and not 1 because real commands and a concrete template are present. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Phases 1–5 are clearly sequenced and there is a completion gate ('A media item is NOT fully ingested until entity propagation is complete'), but the batch entity-propagation step lacks any verification/feedback loop confirming back-links and timeline entries succeeded. Per the scoring notes, batch operations without validation cap workflow clarity at 2. It is not 1 because the sequence is explicit, and not 3 because validation checkpoints for the batch step are missing. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | References are one-level-deep and clearly signaled ('Read skills/_brain-filing-rules.md before creating any new page', 'See skills/conventions/quality.md for Iron Law back-linking'), and content is appropriately externalized rather than inlined. It is not 3 because no bundle directory exists, so the referenced files cannot be verified and the skill hard-depends on external paths it cannot guarantee; it is not 1 because references are shallow and well-signaled rather than deeply nested. | 2 / 3 |
