An excellent operational runbook: lean, current-state-first, and almost entirely copy-paste executable, with real validation checkpoints in the restore workflow. The residual gaps are a missing command for the `pds_joel_did` update step, no verification after account re-creation, and an inlined restore procedure that could live in a reference file.
Suggestions
Add the concrete command (or a one-line pointer to it) for updating `pds_joel_did` in restore step 2 — it is flagged as mandatory but shown as prose only.
Add a post-restore verification step (e.g. `joelclaw pds describe` plus a session refresh) after account re-creation to confirm the new DID and handle resolve before declaring the restore complete.
Consider moving the full rebuild-restore runbook into a `references/restore.md` and keeping a short trigger summary in SKILL.md to slim the always-loaded context.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense, cluster-specific operational fact — ports, DIDs, secret lease commands, kubectl/helm invocations, gotchas — with zero explanations of concepts Claude already knows and no padding. Every token carries non-inferable state, matching the 'lean and efficient' anchor. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Nearly everything is copy-paste ready: full kubectl/helm/curl/jq blocks for restore, a concrete CLI surface, and fast-check commands. One gap on a critical path: "Then update `pds_joel_did` to the new DID" gives no command for how to perform the update, which keeps it below fully-executable anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The rebuild-restore flow is a clearly labeled two-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoints (`kubectl rollout status`, `curl -fsS .../_health`) and a consequence warning for skipping the DID update. Not 5 because step 2 has no post-create verification checkpoint and no explicit recovery loop if the health check or account creation fails (error-recovery hints exist only as separate gotchas). | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized single-file skill (Current truth, CLI surface, Restore, Fast checks, Gotchas, Key files) with no bundle references, and the 'Key files' pointers are clearly signaled repo paths. Structure is good and content appropriately placed, but at ~110 lines with a substantial restore runbook inlined and no reference files, it sits at the 'good structure, minor organization gaps' anchor rather than a clear overview with split-out references. | 4 / 5 |
