53%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 dense, imperative coordinator instruction set with genuinely good progressive disclosure — four clearly signaled, verified asset files loaded just-in-time. Its weaknesses are the accumulating Lessons-learned log that dilutes the token budget and duplicates existing rules, the absence of any concrete example of the heavily specified message format, and no explicitly sequenced end-to-end workflow.
Suggestions
Move the Lessons-learned log into a separate reference file (e.g. assets/lessons.md) or prune entries that restate Key Points, keeping only lessons with new actionable content.
Add one concrete example message demonstrating the required 5W1H self-contained approval ask (context, what/why/where/when/who/how, then the question), since the format is specified only abstractly.
Lay out the end-to-end workflow as an explicit numbered sequence (load context -> route by priority -> delegate to subagents -> verify results -> present 5W1H ask for approval) so checkpoints are explicit rather than implied across sections.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The instruction sections are lean and imperative with no explaining of concepts Claude already knows, but the 18-entry "Lessons learned" log occupies roughly 40% of the body with multi-sentence incident narratives, several of which restate rules already in Key Points (e.g. 'Questions carry the logic, never the mechanics' repeats point 12) — anchor 3 ('mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation or could be tightened'), below 4 which requires only minor trimmable instances. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Routing is fully concrete (task type maps to an exact asset file, with an explicit priority order and just-in-time loading), and subagent/worktree guidance is specific, but the core messaging rules describe 5W1H and self-contained asks only abstractly with no example message — anchor 3 ('Some concrete guidance but incomplete... missing key details'), short of 4's 'mostly executable guidance'. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A rough sequence exists via the routing priority ("discussions > PRs > review issues > implement issues") and escalation order, and approval gates are described, but the overall process is presented as topical sections rather than ordered steps, and validation checkpoints (verify before asking user to approve) are implicit — anchor 3 ('sequence present but checkpoints missing or implicit'). | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body acts as an overview routing each task type to a real one-level-deep asset file (all four `assets/*.md` referenced exist) with clear per-task signaling and just-in-time loading, matching anchor 4 ('Good structure; most content is appropriately placed; references mostly clear'); it falls short of 5 because the verbose Lessons-learned log is inlined in the overview rather than split out. | 4 / 5 |
