75%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 delivers a well-structured, actionable analysis framework with concrete tables, a copy-paste output template, and specific follow-up file paths, all reasonably token-efficient. It stops short of top scores due to a padded philosophy section, absent validation checkpoints, and no worked example.
Suggestions
Trim the "Core Philosophy" section and the opening line that duplicates the frontmatter description to recover tokens.
Add a validation checkpoint after the immediate actions, e.g. confirm the spec files were updated and committed before declaring the loop broken.
Include one short worked example of a completed analysis (filled output format) to anchor the template.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The category and prevention tables are dense and information-rich, but the "Core Philosophy" section ("30 minutes of analysis saves 30 hours of future debugging", "Three levels of insight") and the opening line restating the description are minor over-explanations that could be trimmed, matching anchor 4 rather than anchor 5's every-token-earns-its-place. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | A copy-paste output format template, exact paths (`.trellis/spec/guides/`, `src/templates/markdown/spec/`, named guide files), and a category-to-guide mapping give mostly executable guidance; the minor gaps — no worked example of a completed analysis and the unspecified "Create issue record (if applicable)" — hold it at anchor 4 rather than anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The sequence is clear (analyze 5 dimensions → produce output → update specs → sync templates → commit) with a knowledge-capture checklist, but there are no validation checkpoints (e.g., verifying the spec files exist or the commit landed), matching anchor 4's "most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps" rather than anchor 5's explicit validation steps. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Sections are well-organized and the skill is self-contained with no buried or nested references, but at roughly 125 lines it exceeds the under-50-line simple-skill exception, and the five reference tables sit inline rather than being split out, so anchor 4 (good structure, minor organization gaps) fits better than anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
