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, information-dense body: exact commands, a precise record schema, an executable decision rule, and a convincing worked example, with implementation detail correctly pushed to a single verified one-level-deep reference. The residual gaps are minor - a slightly vague graphql-inspector capture path, a recovery loop that lives only in the example narrative, and small redundancy in the framing and repeated reference link.
Suggestions
Make the graphql-inspector capture concrete: replace "grep-parsed text or JSON action" with the exact command and output path (as done for oasdiff and buf), or name the JSON field to parse.
Promote the no-go recovery path to an explicit step in "How to use" (on no-go: fix the finding or mark ratchet: true with a migration plan, then re-run the gate) instead of leaving it in the worked-example narrative, and add a checkpoint that each tool's artifact file exists before the gate runs.
Trim the Overview opening framing sentence and consolidate the three repetitions of the references/gate-implementation-and-ci.md link into one canonical pointer in How to use plus the References section.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense with tool-specific, non-obvious facts (per-tool exit-code semantics, severity maps, the unified record shape) and never explains basics Claude already knows. Minor trim opportunities remain: the "Modern services rarely speak just one protocol" framing paragraph and the reference link repeated three times (How to use, worked example, References). Efficient with minor over-explanation, matching anchor 4 rather than the every-token-earns-its-place anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Gives exact commands ("oasdiff breaking --format json", "buf breaking --error-format json", "pact-broker can-i-deploy"), an exact JSON record schema with a field-source table, and an executable (not pseudocode) gate_decision function, plus an end-to-end worked example. Minor gaps: the graphql-inspector capture is described only as "grep-parsed text or JSON action" and the full gate script is deferred to the reference file, so it sits at anchor 4 rather than fully-copy-paste anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear five-step sequence, each cross-linked to its detail section, with the gate rule as an explicit checkpoint and a worked example showing the verdict and exit-code outcome. However, the error-recovery path ("restores the removed response and field, or marks each finding ratchet: true") exists only narratively in the worked example rather than as an explicit step, and there is no checkpoint that each tool's artifact file exists before gating - anchor 4, not the explicit-feedback-loop anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Clear sectioned overview (Overview, When to use, How to use, sources, record, severity, decision rule, worked example, References) with the heavy implementation detail appropriately split into a single one-level-deep reference (references/gate-implementation-and-ci.md, verified to exist and to contain the promised script, CI wiring, and artifact format). The reference is well-signaled at each point of need and the reference file points no deeper, matching anchor 5. | 5 / 5 |
