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.
This is a highly actionable, well-sequenced orchestration skill with explicit validation loops, exact thresholds, and verbatim prompts -- among the strongest workflow content one could ask for. Its weaknesses are repetition (the advisory/single-writer/ASCII rules are restated many times) and an inline-heavy structure that keeps prompt templates in SKILL.md instead of the already-established assets directory.
Suggestions
State the advisory regime, single-writer interlock, and ASCII/no-vendor rules once in 'Architecture invariants' and reference them by name from the wave sections and output contract instead of restating them in full -- the gotchas section alone re-explains three invariants verbatim.
Move the verbatim Wave 3 and Wave 4 task-prompt passages (severity contract, no-vendor rule, ASCII rule, output contract) into assets/ alongside the schemas and templates (e.g. assets/panelist-prompt.md, assets/synthesizer-prompt.md), keeping SKILL.md as the orchestration overview.
Trim the topology ASCII diagram to the wave sequence and move the per-wave detail already covered by the wave sections; the diagram currently duplicates Wave 0 classification rules nearly line-for-line.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense with genuinely non-obvious operational detail (no filler explaining concepts Claude already knows), but core rules are restated far beyond what is needed: the advisory regime appears at least six times ('This skill is ADVISORY by design', 'The panel is advisory', repeated in Waves 3/4/5/6, the output contract, and the gotchas), and the single-writer, ASCII, and no-vendor rules each repeat 3-4 times across invariants, wave prompts, output contract, and gotchas. This is more than 'minor instances that could be trimmed', so it sits at the mostly-efficient-but-could-be-tightened anchor rather than 4. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable orchestration guidance: exact marker line 'apm-spec-guardian: new-version', exact thresholds ('shocked_meter_avg >= 7.0', 'diff added < 50 lines AND removed < 50 lines'), exact label to sweep ('spec-review'), verbatim prompt passages to include in each task ('Use new_blocking_findings ONLY for issues that would break a conformant implementation...'), and named JSON schemas per return. An agent can follow this without inventing anything. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The multi-step process is explicitly sequenced (Wave 0 scope decision with ordered decision rules, Waves 1-6) with a topology diagram, and validation checkpoints with feedback loops are everywhere: schema-validate each panelist return, re-spawn on malformed JSON ('max 2 attempts; then placeholder'), linter with pass/fail per check, loop budgets with explicit escalation semantics. This matches the top anchor including error-recovery loops. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | All four referenced bundle files exist and are one level deep with clearly signaled purposes (assets/panelist-return-schema.json, assets/synthesizer-return-schema.json, assets/linter-checklist.md, assets/comment-template.md), and the persona roster points at ../../agents/*.agent.md. However, the verbatim Wave 3/Wave 4 prompt passages and the roster table are inlined in SKILL.md where they could live in assets alongside the other templates, and the body is a single ~375-line orchestration spec rather than an overview pointing to split materials. Good structure, minor organization gaps -- the anchor-4 fit. | 4 / 5 |
