50%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is well-organized and gives a clear sequenced workflow with error handling, but it fails to reference its own bundle files and inlines examples that already exist in references/examples.md, capping every dimension at the mid anchor.
Suggestions
Replace the inline Examples section with a pointer to references/examples.md (e.g. 'See [examples.md](references/examples.md) for monorepo, conflict, and edge-case scenarios') to remove duplication and improve progressive disclosure.
Reference the bundled script in the Instructions or Prerequisites (e.g. invoke or adapt scripts/check-agents-md.sh) so the guidance includes an executable artifact.
Add an explicit validation checkpoint to the workflow, e.g. after merging 'verify no unresolved conflicts before presenting context; if conflicts exist, surface them and confirm the deeper-directive override with the user.'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows, but the inline Examples section (Examples 1–3) partially duplicates the richer references/examples.md bundle, so tokens could be tightened by pointing to the reference instead of restating. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The 7-step instructions give specific, actionable direction (scan ancestors, order by depth, merge, report conflicts, cache), but there are no executable commands or script invocations and the bundled scripts/check-agents-md.sh is never referenced, leaving guidance concrete but incomplete. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are clearly sequenced with conflict detection in steps 5–6 and an error-handling table for recovery, but validation checkpoints are implicit rather than framed as explicit validate-then-proceed gates, matching the 'sequence present but checkpoints missing or implicit' anchor. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is well sectioned, but the bundle files (references/examples.md, references/errors.md, scripts/check-agents-md.sh) are never signaled from the body and examples that belong in the reference are inlined, matching 'references present but not clearly signaled; content that should be separate is inline'. | 2 / 3 |
