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.
The body delivers a crisp nine-step workflow with concrete commands, explicit verdict states, validation with feedback loops, and a well-organized one-level-deep bundle. Weaknesses are minor: some statements are stated twice (grounding rationale, parallel-spawn rationale, revisit-trigger rule), the parallel spawn mechanics are shown only as comments, and one referenced validation script is missing from the bundle.
Suggestions
Add the missing scripts/validate-context-frontmatter.sh referenced in Step 8, or point to wherever that validator actually lives — a dangling script path breaks navigation and execution at the record-outcome step.
Show one concrete parallel-spawn example in Step 6 (e.g., a representative Agent call with the brief plus role instruction) instead of comment-only placeholders, so the core mechanic is executable rather than implied.
Trim the verbatim duplication between the workflow steps and the Anti-Patterns section (the grounding rationale, revisit-trigger rule, and parallel-spawn rationale each appear twice) and tighten Step 8's justificational asides.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and imperative with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows, but it repeats itself: "an ungrounded debate produces confident conclusions built on guessed facts" appears verbatim in both Step 2 and Anti-Patterns, "Never spawn sequentially — that triples wall-clock time for no benefit" restates the immediately preceding sentence, and Step 8 carries rhetorical padding ("RECOMMENDED is not the same as done"). Anchor 4 (efficient with minor trimming possible) fits better than 5, but the duplication is structural reinforcement rather than the noticeable padding of anchor 3. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Gives copy-paste commands ("wc -l path/to/thing/in/question", "grep -rl \"the/consumer/pattern\" . | wc -l", "./scripts/validate-debate-verdict.sh path/to/verdict.yaml" with expected success and error output), but Step 6's code blocks are comment-only pseudocode ("# single message, N parallel Agent/Task calls") and Step 3's identical brief has no inline template. Mostly executable with minor gaps — anchor 4, not 5, because the core spawn mechanics are not shown concretely. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Nine explicitly sequenced steps with a concrete verdict enum ("proceed, do_not_proceed_for_now, or proceed_with_modification"), an explicit validation checkpoint showing both the success output ("OK: 1 file(s) validated") and the failure output, and a Troubleshooting table for recovery paths. This matches anchor 5's 'explicit validation steps; feedback loops for error recovery'; no validation gaps pull it to 4. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-split bundle with clearly signaled one-level-deep references — role table in references/role-design.md, worked example in references/worked-example.md (both verified to exist, neither nests further references), template and schema in assets/ — each listed in a table with a 'When to Use' column. However Step 8 references "./scripts/validate-context-frontmatter.sh", which does not exist in scripts/ (only validate-debate-verdict.sh is present), a dangling reference. Anchor 4 (good structure, minor organization gaps) rather than 5 because of the broken script path. | 4 / 5 |
