73%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 body is a well-structured routing skill with an explicit sequenced workflow, concrete commands, strong safety gates around destructive operations, and clean one-level delegation to the codex-autoresearch engine. Its main cost is redundancy — the same routing table is repeated across roughly five sections, inflating token usage without adding information.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body assumes Claude's competence and explains no general concepts, but the same routing map (correctness→`slate-patch`, API→`slate-plan`, perf→`slate-ar-perf`, gates→`slate-ar-gate`, quality→`slate-ar-quality`) is restated in 'Do Not Use When', 'Relationship To Other Lanes', 'Natural Modes', 'Start Or Resume' step 2, and 'Quality-Gap Research'. That repetition across five sections means it could be meaningfully tightened, matching anchor 3 rather than 4. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete commands are given verbatim (`pnpm bench:targets:dry-run -- <target-id>`, `node tooling/scripts/bench-targets.mjs autoresearch-init <target-id>`, `finalize-preview --cwd .tmp/slate-v2`) and the Natural Modes table maps exact user phrases to exact skills. It is not a 5 because several operations defer their executable detail to the external `codex-autoresearch:codex-autoresearch` skill, so guidance here is not fully self-contained. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | 'Start Or Resume' is a clearly sequenced 5-step workflow with an explicit route-before-editing decision checklist; the packet loop has explicit keep/discard/checks_failed feedback criteria after every packet; and finalization defaults to preview-only with explicit user-approval gates for branch creation, commit, push, and PR (with a rule that short confirmations like 'go'/'ok' do not approve). This matches anchor 5: clear sequence, explicit validation, feedback loops, and checklists. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Structure is good — clear sections, and detail is delegated one level deep with explicit signaling ('Load `codex-autoresearch:codex-autoresearch` for command details, packet lifecycle, dashboard operation...'), and no bundle files exist to nest. It is not a 5 because dense in-file sections like 'Natural Modes' and 'Relationship To Other Lanes' could arguably live in separate reference files, leaving minor organization gaps. | 4 / 5 |
