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 is a dense but genuinely rigorous orchestration contract with explicit stop points, validation gates, and feedback loops — its actionability is a strength. Its weaknesses are redundancy (repeated gates and boilerplate clauses) and poor layering: handoff-contract and per-task-cycle detail belongs in the existing reference files so SKILL.md reads as an overview.
Suggestions
Deduplicate repeated rules: state the Small evidence gate and the confirmed_requirement_context fallback once and reference them from the Planning-flow bullets instead of restating them.
Move the Handoff Contracts (HC-01 through HC-06) and the per-task cycle detail into a reference file (e.g., references/handoff-contracts.md), keeping SKILL.md to roles, principles, scales, and stop points.
Break the longest run-on sentences (Orchestrator role paragraph, HC-04 bullet) into short imperative steps so the routing logic survives a single read.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Noticeably verbose: the Small evidence gate rule is stated twice nearly verbatim ("Small Evidence Gate" section and the Planning-flow "Small evidence gate is unresolved" bullet), and the clause "confirmed_requirement_context as the approved PRD path exactly or, only when none exists, the unchanged confirmed convergence record" repeats three times across adjacent bullets. Long run-on sentences like "The orchestrator owns workflow decisions, routing, progress management, user interaction, the investigation and validation needed for those decisions..." force re-reading. | 2 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance throughout: exact field handoffs ("pass `requirements` as the shortest verbatim user wording"), status-based routings ("`status: escalation_needed` or `blocked`"), a verbatim commit-trailer format, and named per-step cycle actions. Falls short of 5 because several handoffs depend on externally defined agents/skills (requirement-convergence skill, documentation-criteria) that are invoked without any pointer to their definitions. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The sequence is explicit with strong validation checkpoints: the stop-point table, Commit Boundary Check, verification-limitation trailers with retry rules, re-run rules after corrections, and the mermaid autonomous-execution loop. Not 5 because dense passages (the 158-line ADR bullet, HC-04's nested input list) obscure the ordering at first read. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The three bundle files (references/lite-mode.md, monorepo-flow.md, review-resolution.md) are real, clearly signaled, one level deep, and indexed in a References section. But ~315 lines of Handoff Contracts, per-task cycle detail, and result-routing tables are inlined in SKILL.md where this bundle pattern would place them in a reference file, leaving the overview carrying implementation detail. | 3 / 5 |
