92%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.
A well-structured, highly actionable multi-phase review skill with clear sequencing, validation checkpoints, and clean progressive disclosure into real reference files. Its only weakness is moderate rationale prose that could be tightened for token efficiency.
Suggestions
Tighten the rationale paragraphs (e.g. the 'why reconcile runs concurrently' justification in Phase 1.5 and the 'False positives are cheap' note in Phase 1) to one line each — the operational instruction already implies the reasoning.
Consider moving the Phase 4 report template and severity ladder into references/report.md, keeping SKILL.md as the phase/sequence overview, to further reduce the inline token footprint.
The state-variables list (Phase 1) is useful but could be condensed to a table of name → phase → one-word purpose instead of full sentences per variable.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and operational, assuming Claude's competence without explaining basic concepts, but contains several rationale paragraphs (e.g. why reconcile runs concurrently, "False positives are cheap") that are minor over-explanation and could be trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, copy-paste-ready commands throughout — `gh pr diff <N>`, `git worktree add --detach ...`, the `lane()` awk function — with executable bash blocks covering the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Phases 0–5 are explicitly sequenced with validation checkpoints (worktree materialization fallback, size gate, pre-flight VERDICT gating) and feedback loops (PIVOT/ASK handling, approval-gated fix flow). | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | SKILL.md is an overview with one-level-deep, clearly signaled references (preflight.md, reconcile.md, specialists.md, submit.md, two harness adapters), all of which exist as real files; bulk briefs are correctly split out rather than inlined. | 5 / 5 |
