78%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 is a well-structured overview that defers detail to real, one-level-deep reference files and provides concrete commands and paths. It is held back mainly by cross-section redundancy and the lack of explicit post-edit validation loops.
Suggestions
Deduplicate facts repeated across the intro, Current Rules, and Do Not sections (e.g., npm lockstep, events.jsonl path, bundled-skill dispatch) so each appears once.
Add an explicit post-edit validation/re-verify step in the workflow (e.g., re-check .trellis/.template-hashes.json and the affected config after changes) to strengthen feedback loops.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Efficient and assumes Claude's competence (no basic-concept padding), but several facts repeat across the intro, Current Rules, and Do Not sections (npm lockstep, events.jsonl path, bundled skills), which could be tightened. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete commands (trellis channel spawn --agent <name>, task.py create --parent <slug>, trellis workflow --template <id>), exact file paths, and config keys; as an instruction-overview skill it is actionable with only minor gaps deferred to references. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 'How to Use' section gives a clear 5-step navigation sequence and the Do Not section adds a verification checkpoint (cross-check .trellis/config.yaml and trellis --help), though explicit post-edit validation feedback loops are largely absent. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Clear overview body with a well-signaled, one-level-deep References section organized into Local Architecture, Platform Files, and Local Customization groups; every cited path resolves to a real bundle file, making navigation easy. | 5 / 5 |
