spec-review

Review a spec in this repo against the SpecTrace corpus of org standards, decisions, and commitments. Runs `spectrace corpus review` and formats what it emits. Use when the user asks to review a spec against the corpus, check which standards a spec touches, find unaddressed obligations or stale citations, or says "corpus review this", "which standards apply to this spec", "is this spec covered".

Quality

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, highly actionable skill body with executable commands, explicit error handling, and clean progressive disclosure. The only nit is mild restatement of the no-extra-findings rule across multiple sections.

Suggestions

Consolidate the 'add no finding the tool did not emit' rule so it is stated once authoritatively (Rules) and only referenced elsewhere, trimming the redundancy between Rules, Workflow step 4, and Output section 5.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean with no concept explanations and every section earning its place, but the core constraint 'add no finding the tool did not emit' is restated across Rules, Workflow, and Output — minor redundancy that could be trimmed, fitting the 4 anchor rather than 5.

4 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable: exact command syntax with flags, documented exit codes, verbatim error strings, a grep one-liner for locating entry files, and a concrete output template — copy-paste ready and covering common cases including failure.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The single-tool workflow is unambiguous — run JSON then MD, write the specified output, and on error print verbatim and stop — with an explicit error path and a reviewer checklist template, meeting the simple-skill bar for a 5.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized sections with a clearly signaled one-level-deep Reference list pointing to docs/corpus-review.md and docs/corpus-authoring.md; core operational detail stays inline while the deep material (ledger, drift, predicate grammar, versioning) is referenced.

Description

95%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific description with explicit what/when structure and natural trigger phrasings. Its only weakness is that the capability set, while enumerated, ultimately collapses to running a single tool.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists concrete actions — 'Review a spec', 'Runs `spectrace corpus review` and formats what it emits', plus enumerated checks (unaddressed obligations, stale citations) — so several specific actions are named, but all reduce to running one tool, leaving minor coverage gaps versus the 5 anchor.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers what (review a spec against the corpus, run the tool, format its output) and when (an explicit 'Use when...' clause with concrete trigger phrases), matching the 5 anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Rich natural phrasings a user would actually say — 'corpus review this', 'which standards apply to this spec', 'is this spec covered' — alongside synonyms (review / check / find), giving comprehensive trigger coverage.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A highly specific niche — SpecTrace corpus review against a named tool — with distinct trigger phrases and minimal overlap with other skills.
