85%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.
A high-quality, actionable SRE playbook with strong workflow sequencing and validation feedback loops. Its two weaknesses are mild repetition of the discovery rule and reference files that are named in the body but absent from the bundle.
Suggestions
Create the missing reference/ files referenced in the body (apl.md, grafana.md, metrics.md, memory-system.md, query-patterns.md, etc.) or remove the dangling references so progressive disclosure navigation resolves.
Consolidate the 'discover before querying' guidance into one canonical location instead of restating it across Golden Rule #9, Section 1, and Section 4.A Step 0.
Trim motivational framing ('You stay calm under pressure', 'Every incident leaves the system smarter') to keep the opening as lean as the protocol sections.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient with tight numbered protocols, tables, and executable code, and it largely assumes Claude's competence; docked one point because the 'discover before query' rule is restated across Golden Rule #9, Section 1, and Section 4.A Step 0, and a few motivational lines ('You stay calm under pressure') add mild padding. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable guidance throughout — concrete bash invocations (scripts/init, scripts/discover-axiom), copy-paste APL blocks, explicit flag requirements, and a worked Tool Reference section covering the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The investigation protocol is a clearly sequenced loop (Discover → Code Context → Hypothesize → Execute → Verify → Record) with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops (self-heal on 404, conclusion-validation self-check, 'Stuck: 3 queries → re-read discovery'); the bug-fix protocol requires proving the test fails first. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body acts as an overview and cleanly signals one-level-deep reference files (apl.md, grafana.md, metrics.md, etc.) with an index, but the referenced reference/ directory does not exist in the bundle, so the signaled navigation points to missing material. | 3 / 5 |
