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.
An exceptionally actionable, repo-specific operational guide with executable commands, explicit validation checkpoints, and well-signaled one-level-deep references that all exist in the bundle. Its weaknesses are mild: repeated full-suite warnings and some CI/guard detail inlined in the body that the referenced files could carry.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and almost entirely repo-specific with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows, but the 'do not run the full suite' injunction is repeated four to five times, and some CI shard, Make dollar-escaping, and resource-guard parameter detail duplicates material that the referenced files own. These are minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed, fitting anchor 4 rather than the every-token-earns-its-place anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Commands are copy-paste ready and complete: exact go test invocations with flags and regex selectors, filtered make targets with TEST/TEST_DIR/COVERAGE_DIR values, fixture file conventions, and concrete example selections (e.g., the SQLite refresh commit fault case). Specific examples cover the common selection and report cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The select-tests-from-the-change workflow is explicitly sequenced (inspect diff, justify selection, run, report actual scope, stop when passing) with hard validation checkpoints: inspect the effective -run argument in run.json and selected names in test_output.jsonl before claiming success, inspect run.json/stderr.log before rerunning, preserve failed bundles, and acceptance criteria that define completion. Feedback loops for failure recovery are explicit throughout. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Three substantial detail files (test-surfaces.md, composition-qualification.md, parallel-ci.md) are split out and clearly signaled with purposeful 'read when...' links, one level deep, and the body's anchor links resolve to real headings. However, the ~400-line body still inlines considerable CI-workflow, Make-escaping, and resource-guard detail that could live in the existing references, so organization is good rather than the ideal clear-overview split of anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
