82%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 body is highly actionable with copy-paste commands and concrete diff examples, a clearly sequenced workflow with a formatter-driven feedback loop, and good structure that delegates shell/Go specifics to external files. It is slightly long in a few rule rationales and lacks an explicit verification checkpoint.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body assumes Claude's competence (no basics like 'a PDF is...') and each rule carries a one-sentence 'Why' plus tight diff examples, but a few narrative passages (the Brian Chan quote in Rule 45, several longer rationales) could be trimmed, keeping it just below the lean anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Copy-paste-ready commands ('cd <module-root> && <gradlew> formatSource', 'ant format-source-current-branch', 'gofmt -w .') and concrete before/after diff examples for every rule give fully executable guidance covering the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The full workflow is explicitly sequenced (run formatter -> fix listed issues -> apply manual rules -> rerun formatter) with a feedback loop via the formatter listing issues, but there is no explicit 'review the diff / verify' checkpoint, so it sits below the checklist-level anchor. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Structure is clear (sections plus 47 numbered rules) and shell/Go styling is correctly delegated to well-signaled one-level-deep external files, but the 47 inlined rules make the core long to scan with only headers for navigation, so it is not a clean 5. | 4 / 5 |
