85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured, highly actionable skill that provides clear routing logic, concrete commands, explicit validation checkpoints, and good progressive disclosure through well-signaled references. Its main weakness is moderate verbosity—some rules are repeated across sections (ready-check hard stop, client-repo-first emphasis), and the Design Rubric section, while valuable for skill maintenance, adds token cost that may not serve everyday Codex operation. Overall, it's a strong skill that effectively guides complex multi-route workflow decisions.
Suggestions
Consolidate repeated rules (e.g., ready-check hard stop appears in Quick Start, Core Workflow, and Boundaries) into a single authoritative location to reduce token cost.
Consider moving the Design Rubric section to a separate reference file (e.g., references/design-rubric.md) since it serves maintainers rather than daily Codex operation.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is fairly well-organized and avoids explaining basic concepts, but it's quite long with some redundancy (e.g., the ready-check hard stop rule is stated in Core Workflow, Plan Contract, and Boundaries). The Design Rubric section, while useful for maintainers, adds significant token cost for everyday use. Some sections could be tightened. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides concrete, executable commands (e.g., `node .agents/skills/kamiflow-core/scripts/ensure-plan.mjs --project .`), specific routing tables mapping prompt shapes to routes with first moves, clear output contracts (State/Doing/Next + PASS/BLOCK), and explicit decision rules like the ready-check hard stop. The guidance is specific and directly usable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints: ready-check as a hard stop before build/fix, check-closeout for slice closing, archive only after all acceptance criteria are checked. There are clear feedback loops (failing ready-check reroutes to plan-only work), and the route quick-pick table provides unambiguous sequencing. The unknown-type matrix handles ambiguous cases. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is an excellent overview that delegates detailed content to well-signaled one-level-deep references (route-intent.md, command-map.md, individual route references like start.md/plan.md/build.md, and assets/*.md). Helper commands are organized into buckets with details deferred to command-map.md. Advanced helpers are clearly separated from the core daily-use path. | 3 / 3 |
