57%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 provides concrete, mostly-executable guidance with clearly sequenced subcommand flows, but it is held back by redundant summary sections, prose-described file mutations, and a missing post-write verification step on the destructive resolve operation. Everything is inlined in one long file with no progressive disclosure to reference materials.
Suggestions
Add an explicit post-write verification step to the add and resolve flows (e.g., re-read ISSUES.md and confirm all prior rows are still present) so the destructive file mutation has a real feedback loop.
Provide executable code for the append and move operations instead of prose ("Extract issue row… Remove… Add to Resolved"), matching the copy-paste-ready quality of the ID-generation script.
Trim the redundant tail sections (Common Patterns, Quick Reference, Best Practices, Red Flags, "The Bottom Line") that restate the subcommand flows, or move the ID-generation algorithm and full subcommand details into reference files to improve progressive disclosure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Core subcommand flows and ID-generation code are efficient and concrete, but the tail sections (Best Practices, Common Patterns, Red Flags, Quick Reference, "The Bottom Line") restate subcommand behavior and add motivational padding that could be trimmed, matching the 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' anchor. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | The AskUserQuestion block and ID-generation bash script are copy-paste ready, but the add-append and resolve-move operations are described in prose ("Extract issue row… Remove… Add to Resolved") rather than executable commands, leaving minor gaps that keep it below anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are clearly numbered with an existence-validation checkpoint, but the resolve flow mutates ISSUES.md (moving rows) without a post-write verification step despite the CRITICAL preservation warning; the destructive/batch-operation cap limits this to anchor 3. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The file is well-sectioned but ~487 lines are fully inlined with no bundle/reference files, so content that could be split (the ID-generation algorithm, detailed subcommand flows) lives inline; the under-50-line simple-skill exception does not apply. | 3 / 5 |
