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.
A well-structured, highly actionable body with executable commands for each recovery case and a verification step that addresses the destructive-history-rewrite risk. Minor conciseness trims and integrating verification as an in-flow checkpoint would lift it further.
Suggestions
Trim explanations Claude already knows (the --force-with-lease rationale and the 'What the Probot DCO check looks for' background) to push conciseness toward a 5.
Integrate the 'Verifying the whole branch' step as an explicit checkpoint inside Case 2 before the force-push, with a clear 'if N/B/E → fix and re-verify' feedback loop, rather than as a detached section.
Consider moving the Probot DCO background into a short reference note or collapsing it, since the description already promises it and it duplicates sign-off mechanism detail.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Largely lean with targeted one-line explanations per code block and no padding, but contains minor over-explanation Claude likely already knows (e.g. '--force-with-lease is preferred over plain --force — it refuses if someone else has pushed' and the closing 'What the Probot DCO check looks for' background section). | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands for every case (`git commit --amend --signoff -S --no-edit`, `git rebase -i <parent>`, `git cherry-pick --signoff <sha>`, the verification `git log --format=...`) covering the common recovery scenarios. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Cases are clearly sequenced and the destructive rebase/force-push workflow includes an explicit verification step with code interpretation (G/U vs N/B/E), so it escapes the destructive-operation cap; however the verify section sits apart from the case flows rather than being an integrated checkpoint with an explicit fix-and-revalidate loop. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist and the ~70-line body is organized into clear navigable sections (Case 1/2/3, Verifying, Probot check) with the one external pointer ('.claude/rules/commit-workflow.md') clearly signaled; good structure, though there is no real overview-to-details split to push it to a 5. | 4 / 5 |
