88%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 highly actionable and workflow-driven with strong validation feedback loops, scoring at the top of actionability and workflow clarity. Conciseness and progressive disclosure sit just below perfect due to some redundant inline JSON/contract detail.
Suggestions
Consolidate the Outputs and Contract sections, which overlap heavily, to remove redundant statements about audit rows and backfill effects.
Move the extended JSON output-format examples (per-mutation, per-batch, stats, sync dry-run) into a reference file linked from a brief inline summary, reducing body length while preserving the executable commands.
Consider bundling the conventions into a references/ directory so progressive disclosure is backed by actual local files rather than only external links.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly lean with executable commands and little basic-concept padding, but the Output Format JSON examples and the Contract/Outputs sections partially duplicate information and could be trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable CLI commands, concrete JSONL mutation batches, and copy-paste-ready JSON output examples covering the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 7-phase sequence with explicit validation checkpoints — 'lint --with-db' before sync, dry-run before 'sync --apply', coverage ≥95% verification — plus failure-mode recovery loops for batch/destructive operations. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Clearly signals one-level-deep references (conventions/brain-first.md, schema-evolution.md, docs tutorial links), but inlines sizable JSON output and contract detail that could live in separate files; no bundle files are present to offload content. | 4 / 5 |
