77%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 content is a strong, well-structured runbook with explicit validation gates, fail-fast feedback loops, and clean progressive disclosure to verified reference files. Its main weakness is moderate redundancy across the safety/failure/baseline sections rather than verbosity from over-explaining known concepts.
Suggestions
Consolidate the repeated fail-fast statement and resolver/handles validation commands into a single canonical section, referencing it from the other locations to trim tokens.
Add one concrete example command per discovery lane (or a short table) so Lane 1-8 guidance is as executable as the Phase 1 examples.
De-duplicate the 'Invocation and Visibility Proof Requirements' list with the 'Baseline validation to confirm first' list, since several commands appear in both.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient runbook prose, but the fail-fast directive and the resolver/handles validation commands are repeated across 'Failure mode', 'Invocation and Visibility Proof Requirements', and 'Baseline validation to confirm first', which could be consolidated. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete copy-paste commands (e.g., './bin/ask skills resolve unslopify --json', 'rg', 'fd'), a decision matrix, and ordered batch guidance, but the eight discovery lanes are described at a high level without per-lane exact commands, leaving minor gaps. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Six phases are clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints, fail-fast feedback loops ('stop at the first failed gate ... rerun the failed gate only after the blocker is fixed'), and a decision-matrix checklist; validation is ample so the batch/destructive cap does not apply. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A dedicated 'Progressive Disclosure' section clearly signals one-level-deep references to real files (references/contract.yaml, references/evals.yaml, references/task-profile.json), and machine-readable artifacts are appropriately externalized while the operational workflow stays inline. | 5 / 5 |
