Conciseness

Mostly load-bearing, skill-specific instruction, but noticeably loose in places: the capability-vs-name rule is stated four times (Identity bullets, "Test the capability, not the name", the "When sub-agent dispatch is unavailable" intro, and Hard rules), and inline history/time-sensitive narration like "In the local transcripts the restructure plan analysed (~/.claude/projects, 2026-08-20 → 2026-09-25)" and "It was duplicated between the dispatcher and SKILL.md while the dispatcher was an agent" adds drift-prone padding. Not 2: nothing explains generic concepts Claude already knows. Not 4: the repetition and historical narrative could be meaningfully tightened.

Actionability

Copy-paste-ready guidance throughout: `Skill("autonomous-workflow")`, exact memory.list/memory.write calls with scopes and tags, full `Task(subagent_type="aw-planner", ...)` and feature-pr-verifier prompt templates, `gh pr view "$PR" --json headRefOid,baseRefOid -q ...`, and verbatim MODE SELECTION and AW RUN COMPLETE output blocks. Not 4: the common cases, including the fallback paths, are all covered with executable commands.

Workflow Clarity

Clear sequence (Critical First Actions 1–3 → tier detection → routing table → follow-ups → terminal contract) with explicit validation checkpoints: "Clear the confidence(plan) ≥ 90% gate before writing any production code", "Phase 0 + Phase 2 stay mandatory in every tier", "Preconditions — all four, else record not run (<reason>)", and "Never report work you did not verify". Feedback loops are present (iterate-or-escalate below the gate, review recovery when the executor could not dispatch). Not 4: checkpoints are explicit at nearly every step, not just most.

Progressive Disclosure

Good structure with a deliberate, clearly signaled one-level split: "The tier table lives in exactly one place: autonomous-workflow/SKILL.md", "The lesson schema... live in rules/self-improvement-loop.md — read it rather than reasoning from the summary below". Not 5: no bundle files exist to verify the referenced paths (references/, rules/, and the sibling SKILL.md are absent from this bundle), and substantial procedure detail (the full feature-pr-verifier dispatch procedure and the review-recovery decision table) stays inline in an already long body. Not 3: references are well signaled with purpose statements and the split is intentional and navigable.

Specificity

Multiple concrete, third-person actions with comprehensive coverage: "Ships autonomous, end-to-end coding work — implement a feature or fix, all the way to a tested draft PR", "Detects the task tier (Micro / Lite / Full) and routes", "Full hands off to the aw-planner → aw-executor agents". Not 4: the core capability and its routing are fully described, not minor-gapped.

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ("implement a feature or fix, all the way to a tested draft PR" with tier routing) and when ("Use when the user asks to do a task... or invokes /aw directly") with concrete trigger phrases. Not 4: both halves are explicit and concrete, not merely implied.

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural-phrase coverage including synonyms and the slash command: "autonomously", "independently", "in isolation", "in a worktree", "end-to-end", "all the way to a PR", "ship this", "land this", "take care of this", "handle this without me", "/aw". Not 4: no common variation is missing.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The guard clause "Opt-in, not a wrapper on casual edits; the routing rule's exclusion list governs when to hold back" stakes out a clear niche, but everyday phrases like "take care of this" and "ship this" carry minor overlap risk with ordinary interactive coding requests — fits anchor 4 (mostly distinct, minor overlap) better than 5 (minimal conflict risk).
