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 strong, dense playbook: it delivers a complete, adaptable system prompt template with exact rules, explicit completion criteria, and a worked example, without wasting tokens on concepts Claude already knows. The main improvement opportunities are removing the duplication between the inline and closing worked examples and making the builder-facing sequence explicit as numbered steps.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body never explains concepts Claude already knows and stays prescriptive throughout ('Never invent APIs, function signatures, package names...', 'Do NOT attach generic web-browsing tools...'). It is not a 5 because the closing 'Worked example (full)' partially duplicates the example embedded in the system prompt template, and the required verbatim line is stated twice (emphasis section plus template), which could be trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | It provides a complete fill-in-the-blank system prompt template, an exact verbatim line to enforce, concrete name/description patterns ('Python Data Scripter', 'Bug Fix Engineer'), a tool-priority list, and a full worked example that produces the final artifact (name, description, tools, prompt excerpt). The guidance is directly executable for the agent-building task. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Mode-selection decision logic is explicit ('use this only when the agent has file/repository access'), and the 'Completion criteria — you are NOT done until' checklist provides explicit validation checkpoints including an escape hatch ('If a check cannot be run, state the exact reason'). It is not a 5 because the builder-facing procedure (pick identity, choose mode, fill template, attach tools, check anti-patterns) is implied by section order rather than presented as an explicit numbered sequence with checkpoints. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are all absent), so there are no nested or buried references, and the single file has clear, scannable section headers. It is not a 5 because at ~135 lines everything is inlined — including two worked examples and the full template — where the full worked example could live in a reference file; this leaves minor organization gaps rather than a well-split overview. | 4 / 5 |
