38%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 covers real, project-specific territory (hook contracts, exit codes, env vars, troubleshooting, verification checklists) but is padded by prose-formatted configuration that duplicates the reference bundle, and its most actionable material — the worked examples file — is orphaned. Operational sequencing is implicit rather than laid out as steps.
Suggestions
Replace the Configuration and Completion Conditions prose with a short 5–6 row summary table and point to references/reference.md for the full option list, eliminating the in-body duplication.
Add a 'See references/examples.md' pointer (ideally in a Quick Reference or Examples section) so the 1000+ lines of executable loop examples are discoverable.
Add a numbered 'Running a loop' sequence (start command → baseline diagnostics → iterate/fix → completion or escalation) and either document or link the escalation protocol referenced in the Rationalizations table.
Convert the LSP Client Usage narrative into a short actual code snippet, or move it to the reference file with a pointer.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The Configuration section spends ~15 lines of prose ('Under the lsp section, auto_start controls automatic language server startup (30 seconds default)...') restating a table that already exists in references/reference.md, and the Completion Conditions section repeats those same settings a second time in the body. The Architecture Overview likewise narrates a component flow in paragraph form where a short list or diagram reference would do, making several sections noticeably padded. | 2 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete specifics exist — file paths (.moai/cache/.moai_loop_state.json), hook exit codes, environment variables (MOAI_DISABLE_LSP_DIAGNOSTIC), and commands (/moai:loop) — but executable material is thin. The LSP Client Usage section is pseudocode-level ('call the get_diagnostics method asynchronously... Check the severity property against DiagnosticSeverity.ERROR') with no actual code, and the CI/CD section says to 'create a workflow step' without giving one, even though runnable examples exist unreferenced in references/examples.md. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The loop's operation is described (command layer → hooks → diagnostics → completion check → continue/complete) and the Verification checklist provides genuine validation checkpoints, but there is no numbered, actionable sequence for starting and driving a loop. The escalation protocol is invoked ('Stagnation after 2 iterations triggers escalation, not silent exit. Follow the escalation protocol.') without being defined or linked anywhere, leaving a checkpoint gap. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body inlines full configuration detail that belongs in references/reference.md (where it already exists as a table), and references/examples.md — over a thousand lines of practical, executable examples — is never mentioned anywhere in the body. Half the bundle is therefore undiscoverable, and the single reference to reference.md is scoped narrowly to the language-server table rather than signaling the file's full contents. | 2 / 5 |
