82%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 tightly written, highly actionable reference with executable YAML and command examples covering both engine modes, plus clear security, lifecycle, and boundary guidance. Its only weakness is the absence of an explicit validate-then-retry feedback loop for the restart/migration operations, which keeps workflow clarity at 4.
Suggestions
Add an explicit validation gate before destructive/lifecycle actions (e.g., run `iii compose --namespace ... compose::status` to confirm ownership before restarting after an `engine:` change), with a fix-and-retry loop, to lift workflow clarity to 5.
Trim the `${VAR:default}` materialization mechanics note to the essential rule to push conciseness toward the 5-anchor.
Consider extracting the per-worker configuration reference (the allowed base names and `#instance` rules) into a short separate reference file referenced from the overview, which would let progressive disclosure reach 5 without losing actionability.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean with no padding or explanations of concepts Claude already knows; each section earns its place, though a couple of mechanics sentences (e.g. the `${VAR:default}` materialization note) could be trimmed, matching the 'efficient; minor instances of over-explanation' anchor rather than the 5-anchor's every-token-earns-its-place bar. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides complete, copy-paste-ready YAML blocks for both engine modes plus exact `iii compose`/`iii --config` commands with flags, the `compose::add` trigger invocation, the allowed worker base-name list, and the concrete `UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG_WORKERS` failure mode — fully executable guidance covering the common cases, matching the 5-anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Each mode is clearly sequenced (config then start command) with concrete checkpoints (`compose::status`, `engine::workers::list`) and explicit failure behavior, but restart/clean-shutdown operations lack an explicit validate-before-act feedback loop, capping it at 4 rather than the 5-anchor's explicit error-recovery loop. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is well-organized into clearly headed sections (Managed Compose, Directly supervised, Security and operations, When to Use, Boundaries) with no nested or buried references and content appropriately contained in one file; it sits at 4 rather than 5 because it is a single dense file rather than an overview pointing outward, though nothing genuinely needs splitting. | 4 / 5 |
