78%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 highly actionable, well-sequenced skill body with executable commands and preflight validation. The main weakness is progressive disclosure: the body externalizes its canonical review prompt to a `prompt.md` that is not present in the bundle.
Suggestions
Ship `prompt.md` alongside SKILL.md — the body's core instruction depends on it, and its absence breaks navigation to the canonical review prompt.
Tighten the rationale prose in the intro ('Codex catches things Claude misses due to author bias', 'Complements brains-trust') to push conciseness toward the top anchor.
Add an explicit validate→fix→retry checkpoint after the `codex review` run (e.g. detect an empty/failed report and re-run) to raise workflow clarity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient with concrete commands and no padding about basic concepts, but a few explanatory sentences ('Codex catches things Claude misses due to author bias', 'Complements brains-trust') are mild over-explanation that could be trimmed. Not a 5 because not every prose token earns its place; not a 3 because the bulk is tight and actionable. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable, copy-paste-ready bash for preflight (`which codex`), output setup (mkdir, timestamp, tee), and the `codex review` invocation across all scope variants (uncommitted, --base, --commit, HEAD) — covering the common cases completely. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear numbered sequence (Preflight → scope → run → summarise → verify) with preflight validation that halts on missing binary/auth, plus a self-test Verification checklist. Not a 5: there is no mid-process validate→fix→retry feedback loop, and the Verification section is a post-hoc checklist rather than an embedded checkpoint. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Sections are well-organised and the one reference is clearly signaled at one level deep ('The canonical review prompt lives in `prompt.md` next to this skill'), but that referenced `prompt.md` is absent from the bundle — the actual bundle structure breaks navigation to the core prompt content. | 3 / 5 |
