85%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 content is a tight, highly actionable recipe for adding but CLI commands with copy-paste code and clear sectioning. It is strong on actionability and conciseness, with only minor gaps in explicit validation checkpoints and in pushing example code out to referenced files.
Suggestions
Add an explicit validation checkpoint, e.g. 'After implementing, run cargo check -p but and verify the command appears in but --help before considering it done'.
Move the longer reference implementations into a referenced examples file and keep only the minimal pattern inline, to improve progressive disclosure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is largely lean and assumes Claude's competence (e.g. 'Commands follow a resolve then run structure'), with minimal padded explanation; a few 'Things to note' bullets state rationale Claude could infer, keeping it just short of a 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | It provides copy-paste-ready Rust code for args, lib.rs dispatch, and the command implementation, plus specific, executable guidance (e.g. 'Use CliIdArg', 'Use IntermediateChannel', 'resolve returns CliResult'), covering the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The process is clearly sequenced (Arguments -> Handling -> Implementing) with concrete steps and notes, but it lacks explicit validation checkpoints for verifying the command compiles or behaves correctly before proceeding. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well organized into themed sections and points to real example files (commit.rs, move.rs, squash.rs, diff.rs) as one-level references; however the body inlines substantial code rather than splitting examples into reference files, leaving minor organization gaps. | 4 / 5 |
