78%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 well-structured, mostly lean overview that delegates executable detail to a real, verified set of example files and gives concrete API-level guidance with clear Build/Extend/Review modes. Weak spots are minor: some re-explanation of Unix conventions Claude already knows, no explicit test/verify checkpoint wired into the Build workflow, and an import-path inconsistency in the exit-codes example.
Suggestions
Trim the standard Unix exit-code table (0/1/2/126/127/128+N are well known) to just the project-specific convention (e.g., usage errors → 2, BSD sysexits range), keeping tokens for content Claude doesn't already know.
Wire an explicit validation step into Build mode (e.g., 'after wiring flags, run the CLI unit tests per the Testing section') so the workflow has a checkpoint like the Review mode's checklist.
Fix the 'github.com/you/myapp/cmd' import in assets/examples/exit_codes.go to match the documented cmd/myapp package-main layout so the referenced example is copy-paste consistent.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is efficient — compact tables, terse key points ('SilenceUsage: true MUST be set'), and detail delegated to asset files rather than inlined — matching anchor 4 ('efficient; minor instances of over-explanation'). It is not 5 because some content assumes too little Claude knowledge, e.g., the exit-code table explaining standard Unix codes (0 Success, 127 Command not found) and the 'Persistent vs Local' flags concept explanation, and not 3 because padding is minor rather than a pattern. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete guidance throughout: exact APIs ('MarkFlagRequired', 'MarkFlagsMutuallyExclusive', 'signal.NotifyContext', 'cmd.OutOrStdout()', 'viper.BindPFlag'), a validator table, and per-topic pointers to real, executable asset files (verified: root.go, exit_codes.go contain complete working Go), matching anchor 4. It is not 5 because the body itself carries almost no copy-paste code — execution depends on opening referenced files — and exit_codes.go's 'github.com/you/myapp/cmd' import is inconsistent with the documented cmd/myapp layout, a minor gap. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Modes section gives clear sequences ('Build — ... follow the project structure, root command setup, flag binding, and version embedding sections sequentially'; 'Review — check the Common Mistakes table, verify SilenceUsage/SilenceErrors...'), and the Testing CLI Commands section plus Common Mistakes table supply validation checkpoints — anchor 4 ('clear sequence with most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps'). It is not 5 because the Build workflow never explicitly wires in a test/verify step or error-recovery loop, and not 3 because sequences and checkpoints are present, not merely implicit. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is a clean overview where every topic section signals a one-level-deep reference — e.g., 'See [assets/examples/flags.go](assets/examples/flags.go) for all flag patterns' — and all 12 referenced asset files exist in assets/examples/ with substantive content, while appropriately compact tables (Quick Reference, Common Mistakes) stay inline. This matches anchor 5 ('clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references; content appropriately split; easy navigation'). | 5 / 5 |
