81%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 dense, highly executable workflow: exact commands, a verbatim interview prompt, explicit per-file confirmation gates, and a closing verification checklist with a re-run feedback loop. The weaknesses are stylistic: rule 8 in particular repeats its point at several times the length needed, and small template structures are duplicated inline rather than left in the template files.
Suggestions
Compress rule 8 to its operative core (a unified diff shown per file, one yes/no per file, asking ends the turn) — the current ~250-word paragraph restates the same rule in four or five ways, which is the largest single source of unnecessary tokens.
Drop the inline restatement of the SRS/SDS field structures in step 9 and keep only the deviation that matters (that '**Rationale:**' is mandatory); the field lists are already in the template files being read in the same step.
Tighten step 10's recording paragraph to the two bullet rules (one line per command under '### Detected Commands', one line per script under '### Command Scripts') without the meta-commentary about what an empty section means.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is procedural and free of explanations of concepts Claude already knows, but several passages restate the same instruction many times: rule 8 spends ~250 words hammering per-file confirmation ('a prose summary, a change list, an excerpt, or a grouped description... is not a diff... Asking ends the turn... A question and the write it asks about cannot share a turn'), and step 6's brownfield note ('those are different documents, and a reader of AGENTS.md never sees them') and step 10's recording paragraph are similarly padded. This matches 'mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation or could be tightened' — above level 2 because the padding is confined to a few passages rather than pervasive. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable guidance throughout: verbatim bash commands ('deno run --allow-read <skill-dir>/scripts/generate_agents.ts .'), a complete copy-paste interview prompt with the exact JSON return schema, exact merge rules per legacy file, exact template paths and section names ('### Detected Commands', '### Command Scripts'), and concrete JSON fields to check ('opencode_json.has_subdirectory_globs'). Matches the level-5 anchor: copy-paste ready commands with specific examples covering the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Twelve clearly sequenced steps with explicit Greenfield/Brownfield conditions, an agent-judgment decision point, per-file diff confirmation gating every destructive write, and a final verification checklist with a re-run feedback loop ('If passed is false (exit code 1), fix the issues before proceeding'). This matches the level-5 anchor (explicit validation steps, feedback loops for error recovery, checklists); despite involving overwrites and deletions, the per-file confirmation and re-verification satisfy the destructive-operation cap. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The 38KB AGENTS.template.md is appropriately externalized to assets/, references are clearly signaled at point of use and are one level deep, and every referenced path (assets/AGENTS.template.md, assets/SRS.template.md, assets/SDS.template.md, scripts/generate_agents.ts) exists and matches what the body claims about it. Short of level 5 because some template detail is duplicated inline — step 9 restates the full SRS/SDS field structure ('## 3. Functional Reqs' with the five per-FR fields, '## 3. Components' with Purpose/Interfaces/Deps) that already lives in the tiny template files — and rule 8's long prose is main-body content that could live in a reference. | 4 / 5 |
