77%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 content is a well-structured, actionable guide with a clear sequenced workflow, validation gates for destructive operations, and clean progressive disclosure into two reference files. Its main weakness is verbosity from restating the same E-numbered invariants across multiple sections.
Suggestions
Reduce repetition: the E1–E9 philosophy points are restated in the steps and again in 'Hard nevers' — consolidate to one canonical location and reference it.
Trim the philosophy section to the invariants that change behavior; several points restate the same 'you decide, you act / don't hand back to the loop' idea in different words.
Make the bootstrap step slightly more concrete or defer fully to verdict.md rather than leaving 'e.g. ./scripts/bootstrap-worktree.sh . if present, else the project's install' inline.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient and assumes Claude's competence (no basic-concept padding), but the philosophy section (E1–E9) and repeated restatements of the same invariants across 'How to run', steps, and 'Hard nevers' add noticeable length that could be tightened. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete executable commands (git fetch, checkout --detach, gh pr diff, git push origin HEAD:feature/<f>) and specific file-reading order, with only minor gaps where guidance stays abstract (e.g. 'bootstrap so the app runs'). | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | An explicit Step 0–8 sequence with a soft understanding-gate checkpoint (Step 6), explicit go-ahead gates before destructive merge/close actions, and clear feedback loops (fix → push → reviewer re-runs → merge), satisfying the validation requirement for destructive operations. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Clear overview structure with well-signaled one-level-deep references to references/walkthrough.md and references/verdict.md (both verified to exist), each labeled with its purpose and a 'hackable seam' note; content is appropriately split rather than inlined. | 5 / 5 |
