56%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 well-organized with a clear phase/cycle model and concrete commands, but it is held back by philosophical padding and by a progressive-disclosure structure that references module files which are absent from the bundle. Tightening the prose and either shipping or removing the missing module references would lift the score meaningfully.
Suggestions
Ship the referenced modules/*.md files (or remove the links and inline the essential content) so the progressive-disclosure structure is actually navigable; currently 4 of 6 referenced paths 404.
Fix the broken reference.md anchor link ('#language-aware-toolkchains' has no matching heading in reference.md) and verify every body link resolves.
Trim the Common Rationalizations table and the Chesterton's Fence / Shift Left aphorisms, and remove the duplicated 'MoAI does NOT ship a quality-validation library' statement, to improve token efficiency.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient and assumes Claude's baseline knowledge, but it restates 'MoAI does NOT ship a quality-validation library' twice and includes philosophical padding (the Common Rationalizations table, Chesterton's Fence and Shift Left aphorisms) Claude already knows, fitting 'mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation'. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | It gives concrete commands (/moai gate, /moai fix, /moai loop), thresholds (zero errors, max 10 warnings, 85%+ coverage), and a language-to-tool table, but the per-cycle and per-principle mechanics are deferred to module files that do not exist, leaving the actionable core incomplete. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The plan/run/sync/audit phase table with owners and checks, the cycle_type breakdown, and the closing Verification checklist give a clear sequence with most checkpoints present, with only minor gaps in explicit per-step validation. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The overview-to-reference structure is well signaled with load-when labels, but four of six referenced paths (modules/trust5-validation.md, proactive-analysis.md, best-practices.md, integration-patterns.md) do not exist in the bundle, and the reference.md anchor link is a broken typo ('#language-aware-toolkchains'), so the disclosure structure is present but not actually navigable. | 3 / 5 |
