81%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.
An exceptionally actionable, well-gated workflow: exact commands, real bundle scripts, explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops, and exhaustive ledger formats. The main cost is token weight — the DOT graph in particular spends many lines restating prose that the surrounding sections already specify.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The prose is dense and assumes Claude's competence (no basic-concept explanations), but the ~40-line DOT digraph restates every edge by repeating the full node labels — a large token cost duplicating what the Setup, Task Loop, and Final Review sections already specify — and the 13-row rationalizations table plus full example workflow add bulk that could be tightened. This lands between "mostly efficient with some unnecessary content" and "efficient with minor trimmable over-explanation". | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Every instruction is copy-paste executable: exact commands (`scripts/task-start PLAN_FILE N`, `task-done PLAN_FILE N BASE -- <test command>`, both of which exist in the bundle), exact ledger line formats (`Task <N>: complete (commits <base7>..<head7>, tests: <command> → <result>)`), exact ruling format, and a full worked example with realistic SHAs and command output. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Setup → per-task loop → final review → finish is clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints everywhere: the completion contract's evidence checklist, "watching it fail is a step, not a formality", three-outcome handling of every `Expected:` comparison with a named feedback loop (systematic-debugging), and task-done refusing to record on a failing run. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Structure is good: the heavy lifting is correctly delegated one level deep to real, clearly signaled destinations — this bundle's `scripts/task-start` and `scripts/task-done` (both present on disk) and sibling-skill files (`../subagent-driven-development/scripts/sdd-workspace`, `../requesting-code-review/code-reviewer.md`). Minor gaps: everything else lives inline in one ~370-line SKILL.md, and the common-rationalizations table and example workflow could sit in a references file if the skill grows. | 4 / 5 |
