62%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 highly actionable and exceptionally well-gated with a clear pass sequence and validation checkpoints, but it is markedly verbose due to heavy rule repetition and is a monolith with no progressive disclosure into reference files.
Suggestions
Consolidate the issue-ledger/ClawSweeper discipline and the .tmp/slate-v2 verification rules into single canonical sections, replacing the repeated restatements with cross-references, to reduce token load.
Move the long Plan Shape schema, the maintainer objection-ledger field list, and the evidence-ladder/verdict vocabularies into reference files under references/ and link to them, enabling progressive disclosure.
Tighten abstract instruction phrasing ('run the relevant command') into the specific named command where the surface is known.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | At ~1260 lines the body restates the same rules several times—issue-ledger/ClawSweeper discipline appears in Required Artifacts, Read First, Issue Ledger Pass, PR Reference And Issue Accounting, and Pressure Passes, and the .tmp/slate-v2 verification gate recurs across Hard Policy, Verification Workspace Gate, and Pressure Passes—so it is noticeably verbose with padded restatements. | 2 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete commands and templates (create-goal-scratchpad.mjs invocation, rg -n grep examples, bun --filter gates), concrete file paths, a goal-handle format, named state fields, and exact wording like 'Fixes #....: <description>'; minor gaps remain where commands stay abstract ('run the relevant command'). | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 12-pass schedule is explicitly sequenced, closure is gated by a conjunctive completion-threshold checklist with a pending/done state machine, and feedback loops are present (validate-fix-rerun, autoreview until clean), giving clear checkpoints and error recovery for a risky batch workflow. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist (references/scripts/assets absent) and the skill is a monolithic 1260-line document; section headers give some structure, but content that clearly belongs in separate reference files (the Plan Shape schema, objection-ledger fields, repeated issue-ledger rules) is inlined rather than split out. | 3 / 5 |
