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 a lean, highly actionable orchestration playbook with a clearly sequenced five-step workflow, explicit validation checkpoints, per-wave file verification, and a bounded remediation loop. Its main strengths are copy-paste-ready dispatch instructions and graceful failure handling; progressive disclosure is well handled by delegating phase detail to per-phase skill files.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is almost purely operational instruction with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows — no filler, only file paths, dispatch rules, and error handling. Minor tightening is possible (the <background_information> success criteria partially duplicate Steps 3–4, and the display templates are illustrative), matching anchor 4 rather than the fully lean anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is fully concrete and copy-paste ready: exact paths ({{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/<feature>/brief.md), a complete verbatim sub-agent task block with exact arguments ("{feature-name} -y"), exact error/report messages, and specific fallback commands ("Run $kiro-spec-quick <feature> --auto"). This matches anchor 5's 'fully executable; specific examples cover the common cases'. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Five clearly sequenced steps with explicit validation checkpoints throughout: Step 1 halts on missing briefs with an exact message; Step 3 verifies the four files per feature after each wave and handles per-feature failure without aborting the wave; Step 4 is a true feedback loop (cross-spec review → fix sub-agents → re-run, 'max 3 remediation rounds'); Step 5 re-verifies and updates the roadmap. As a batch operation it does include validation and feedback loops, so the batch cap does not apply — anchor 5 fits. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist, and the skill deliberately delegates phase detail to one-level-deep, clearly signaled per-phase skills (.agents/skills/kiro-spec-init/SKILL.md, kiro-spec-requirements, kiro-spec-design, kiro-spec-tasks) instead of inlining them, keeping controller context lightweight. Anchor 4 fits because the ~165-line body is well-sectioned but the verbatim sub-agent task block is inline detail that could partly live in a reference; not 5 since some reorganization remains. | 4 / 5 |
