82%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 tight, actionable triage workflow that respects token budget and sequences steps with sensible gating. Main gap is that the failpoint-enabled run command and the testdata-update retry loop are referenced implicitly rather than given as explicit executable steps.
Suggestions
Spell out the failpoint-enabled go test command inline (e.g. the exact `go test -tags=... -failpoint` invocation) instead of referring to it only as 'Failpoint-enabled run'.
Add an explicit validate->fix->retry loop for testdata updates (re-run the target test after syncing expected outputs and revert if the diff reappears).
Mark the docs/agents/testing-flow.md reference as a repo-relative path so it is unambiguous it is not a bundle file.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean and efficient throughout; assumes Claude's competence, never explains what TiDB/failpoints are, and every line (e.g. '-tags=intest,deadlock does not enable failpoints') earns its place. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete executable commands ('git bisect start', '-run <TestName> -count=1') and a pointed external reference, but the failpoint-enabled go test invocation is named only by a label rather than spelled out. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear three-rule sequence with a gate ('Do not record/update testdata before root cause is identified') and a bisect procedure, but the validate->fix->retry feedback loop for the destructive testdata update is implicit rather than explicit. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized sections under 50 lines with a clearly signaled one-level reference (docs/agents/testing-flow.md); no bundle files exist to verify, and the lone external reference is cleanly signaled rather than nested. | 4 / 5 |
