88%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.
An exceptionally actionable, well-sequenced setup workflow: every step names exact commands, fields, and consent gates, with verification loops throughout and heavy detail correctly pushed into references. The weak spots are a handful of overlong, repetitive passages (notably the doctor section) and slightly imperfect reference hygiene — one unreachable-from-SKILL.md file and mild second-level reference nesting.
Suggestions
Break the ~400-word single-paragraph item in step 7 ('Run tessl doctor --automations') into a short list of the distinct doctor findings and the plain-word response for each, and consolidate the repeated progress-timeline display rules into the single 'Rules for the whole session' bullet.
Link references/linear.md directly from SKILL.md (e.g. in the step 3 ticket-source checklist where the Linear integration is checked) so every bundle file is one hop from the body.
Consider promoting the most-linked targets of the second-level hops (triggers.md from starters.md, confirm-loops.md from testing.md) to direct links from SKILL.md where those steps are first mentioned, keeping navigation one level deep.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense with product-specific rules Claude cannot know (CLI flags, JSON fields, permission gates) and wastes no tokens explaining known concepts, so it is well above 'mostly efficient' (3). However, a few spots ramble or repeat — e.g. step 7 item 8 is a single ~400-word paragraph on `tessl doctor` output, and the progress-timeline instruction is restated several times — which keeps it below 'every token earns its place' (5). | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is fully executable: exact commands with flags (`tessl project repair --json`, `gh repo view --json isFork,parent`), exact JSON fields to read (`linkedProject.workspaceName`, `credits.remaining`), a deterministic branch-naming scheme, and the literal questions to ask. It matches 'copy-paste ready commands; specific examples cover the common cases' and includes explicit error branches (integration failures, refused merges), exceeding the 'minor gaps' anchor at 4. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Nine numbered steps are clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops: consent gates before any state change, re-running the GitHub App checks until they pass, verifying the merged `tessl.json` from the remote before declaring live, and confirming Loops appear before handover. Error recovery is prescribed for each failure mode, matching the top anchor; the destructive/batch cap does not apply since verification is thorough. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The split is good — the 500-line body holds the orchestration flow while bulk detail (triggers 525 lines, testing 222 lines) lives in 12 clearly signaled reference files linked at point of need. It falls short of the 5 anchor ('one-level-deep references'): `references/linear.md` is never linked from SKILL.md (reachable only via starters.md), and reference-to-reference links (starters.md → triggers.md/linear.md/permissions.md, testing.md → confirm-loops.md) create shallow second-level hops. | 4 / 5 |
