96%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 a model of token-efficient, actionable instruction: concrete commands, an explicit verification feedback loop, a degradation path, and high-signal Convex gotchas with no padding. The only structural improvement is offloading the capability-level Convex API rules into a reference file so the quickstart stays purely about standing up the template.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean and imperative throughout — no padding, no explanations of concepts Claude already knows; every rule is a non-obvious Convex-specific constraint (e.g. ".withIndex(...) callbacks only have eq/gt/gte/lt/lte — there is no .range(...) method") that earns its tokens. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable guidance: a concrete recipe invocation with arguments ("Run recipe `quickstart-recipe@^2` with {idea, template}"), and copy-paste commands including `npx tsc --noEmit`, `npx convex whoami`, `npx convex dev --once`, and `CONVEX_AGENT_MODE=anonymous npx convex dev --once` with the exact condition governing each. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear three-step sequence (run recipe → open dev URL → confirm before building features) with a confirmation checkpoint, a re-run guard ("Never re-run the recipe if it already reported success"), and an explicit SELF-VERIFY feedback loop — verify, fix every reported error, only then finish — plus a defined degradation path when the scaffold cannot run. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is short (~24 lines) and well organized into Workflow and Rules sections, but four dense paragraphs of general Convex API rules (data access/imports, reserved names, HTTP routes, runQuery references) are inlined in the quickstart that could be split into a one-level-deep reference file; no references are signaled, which keeps this just below the clear overview with well-signaled references anchor. | 4 / 5 |
