56%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 presents a coherent, well-sequenced seven-phase decision framework with useful categories and verification definitions, but it is written in dense abstract prose without a worked example or template to ground it. Splitting the pattern catalog and level definitions into reference files would improve both conciseness and navigation.
Suggestions
Add a short worked example (a small feature request walked through Phases 1-7 ending in a Selected Design and decision record) to make the abstract convergence logic actionable.
Move the Reference Strategy Patterns, Verification Level Definitions, and Integration Point Definitions sections into one-level-deep reference files (e.g., references/patterns.md, references/verification.md) linked from the overview.
Tighten the longest passages — especially Phase 2 step 3 and the Subtraction Check — into shorter testable rules, and drop filler guidelines like "Apply 5 Whys" that add tokens without executable guidance.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body avoids explaining known concepts, but the abstract meta-process prose is dense and could be tightened — e.g., the run-on Phase 2 step 3 sentence spanning ~12 dimensions, repeated "meta-cognitive" framing, and filler guidelines like "Apply 5 Whys". | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete elements exist (named strategy patterns, L1/L2/L3 verification definitions, risk/constraint category lists), but there is no worked example, template, or concrete decision case, so much of the guidance stays abstract with missing key details for execution. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The seven phases are clearly ordered with core questions, explicit stop conditions ("Stop when the current-state facts..."), subtraction tests, and a closing Quality Checks checklist that serves as verification — minor checkpoint gaps keep it below 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist and the single file has reasonable section headers, but the strategy-pattern catalog, verification-level definitions, and integration-point definitions are all inlined content that could live in one-level-deep reference files, leaving the SKILL.md as a leaner overview. | 3 / 5 |
