77%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 an exceptionally well-engineered orchestration procedure: concrete commands, per-task review gates, a capped fix loop with scoped re-reviews, and compaction-safe ledger bookkeeping. Its weaknesses are repetition of the same warnings across sections and a bundle defect: the implementer, task-reviewer, and re-review prompt templates it repeatedly points to are missing files.
Suggestions
Add the missing template files (implementer-prompt.md, task-reviewer-prompt.md, re-review-prompt.md) or inline minimal versions of them — every task dispatch currently dead-ends at a nonexistent path.
State each recurring warning once and reference it: the 'never HEAD~1' rule and the ledger/compaction rationale each appear 2-3 times across sections.
Trim the Model Selection section by merging the 'Turn count beats token price' guidance and the 'Task complexity signals' list, which restate the same tier choices.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly dense and operational, but with real repetition that could be tightened: the 'never HEAD~1' warning is stated verbatim twice (Handle the report and Review the task), the ledger-survives-compaction rationale appears three times (Setup, Task Loop intro, Common Rationalizations), 'never pause between tasks' recurs in three sections, and Model Selection overlaps with the complexity-signals list. This fits anchor 3 ('mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation or could be tightened') rather than anchor 4, where over-explanation would be only minor instances. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable throughout: exact commands with arguments ('bash scripts/sdd-workspace PLAN_FILE', 'bash scripts/task-brief PLAN_FILE N', 'bash scripts/review-package PLAN_FILE BASE HEAD'), exact ledger line formats ('Task <N>: complete (commits <base7>..<head7>, review clean)'), a five-part dispatch composition recipe, a four-status report taxonomy, and even a no-bash fallback ('git log --oneline, git diff --stat, and git diff -U10 ... redirected to one uniquely named file'). This matches anchor 5 — copy-paste ready commands covering the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The sequence is explicit and graphed (Setup → per-task loop → final review), with validation gates at every task (spec ✅ AND quality, never skipped), a fix loop with a round cap, a breaker, and a scoped re-review every round, explicit four-stop conditions, ledger recovery, and a resumption procedure. This matches anchor 5 exactly: clear sequence, explicit validation steps, feedback loops for error recovery, and checklists — the destructive/batch cap does not apply because validation is pervasive. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The split itself is good — seven clearly signaled one-level-deep references (fix-loop, preflight, final-review, etc.) plus three scripts, loaded at point of need. But scoring against the actual bundle: three referenced paths do not exist — 'implementer-prompt.md' and 'task-reviewer-prompt.md' are cited from the body ('Template: [implementer-prompt.md](implementer-prompt.md)' and inside the process graph) and 're-review-prompt.md' is cited from fix-loop.md/final-review.md. Navigation dead-ends at the per-task templates the whole workflow depends on, which is more than anchor 4's 'minor organization gaps'; anchor 3's 'some structure but could be better organized' is the closest fit. | 3 / 5 |
