85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is concise, well-structured, and provides a clear gated workflow with validation checkpoints and failure routing; its main weakness is that key command inputs are placeholders rather than fully resolvable, capping actionability at 2.
Suggestions
Resolve or define the '<autoresearch-cli>' placeholder (e.g., name the actual binary or show how to invoke it) so commands are copy-paste executable.
Give one fully concrete worked example of a gate command end-to-end (a real suite name and gate command) to anchor the templated placeholders.
Optionally note where placeholder values come from (e.g., 'pick <suite> from playwright/integration/examples/') so Claude can fill them deterministically.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean and well-organized into Boundary/Setup/Commands/Handoff; it avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows and the Setup status taxonomy is domain-specific knowledge that earns its tokens. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides real CLI invocations with full flags and concrete Playwright/bun commands, but core inputs remain unresolved placeholders ('<autoresearch-cli>', '<gate command>', '<suite>'), so it is not copy-paste ready. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear sequence (setup-plan, doctor, serve, next, log) with explicit validation outcomes in Setup and a feedback loop routing repeated failures to slate-patch, plus a Handoff checklist for next ownership. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Single self-contained file (~60 lines) with no bundle files needed, organized into clearly signaled sections; per the simple-skills note this qualifies for a 3 with well-organized sections. | 3 / 3 |
