85%Weight 40%Scale 1-3Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The content is a strong, highly actionable orchestrator spec with concrete commands, explicit validation checkpoints, and well-signaled one-level-deep references whose files all exist. Its only weakness is conciseness: the driver return enum, probe block, and composition rationale are restated across multiple sections and could be consolidated.
Suggestions
Consolidate the repeated shepherd-driver composition detail: state the completion_return enum and probe block once in 'Composition with shepherd-driver' and have Phases 4/5/Bundled assets reference it instead of restating.
The Architecture invariants section already defers full text to references/invariants.md; apply the same dispatch-anchor treatment to the per-phase driver/spawn contracts to cut body length.
Move the duplicated owner_touch_gate.py invocation pattern into a single canonical block and reference it from Phase 4 rather than re-deriving the command inline.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is operational and free of concept-explainer padding, but restates the same information across sections (the completion_return enum, the shepherd-driver probe block, and the composition description recur in Composition, Phase 4, Phase 5, and Bundled assets), so it could be tightened rather than being fully lean. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands (gh issue/pr list with exact --json fields, git worktree add, the owner_touch_gate.py verify invocation) and explicit field derivations like HEAD_REPO = headRepositoryOwner.login + '/' + headRepository.name. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Phases 0-6 are explicitly ordered with WAVE labels, dispatch-table-before-fan-out and re-render checkpoints, schema-validation with retry-once, and trust-but-verify re-probes; validation is pervasive for this batch operation so no cap applies. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Overview body uses one-level-deep references, each clearly signaled with phase-triggered load instructions (e.g. 'Load references/invariants.md before planning Phase 0'), and all 9 referenced assets/references files exist; the skill deliberately delegates PR-drive detail to the sibling rather than duplicating it. | 3 / 3 |
