63%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-sequenced, highly actionable read-only analysis workflow with a concrete prerequisite command and defined output schema, but it pays a conciseness and progressive-disclosure penalty from a duplicated ~30-line hook block and a monolithic all-inline structure with no external references.
Suggestions
De-duplicate the extension-hook handling block: define it once and reference it from both Pre-Execution Checks and Step 9 to recover ~30 lines of token budget.
Extract the verbose hook command-templating rules into a referenced file (e.g. references/hooks.md) and link to it, improving progressive disclosure and conciseness simultaneously.
Add an explicit validate→fix→retry note for the analysis output (e.g. re-run prerequisite check if JSON parse fails, then re-emit report) to push workflow clarity toward a feedback-loop model.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Quotes the near-verbatim duplication of the extension-hook handling block in both 'Pre-Execution Checks' and 'Step 9. Check for extension hooks' (~30 lines repeated), plus occasional over-explanation; the body is mostly efficient but could be tightened by factoring the hook block once, fitting 'mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary content' rather than the lean level 4. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Quotes the concrete command '.specify/scripts/powershell/check-prerequisites.ps1 -Json -RequireTasks -IncludeTasks', the explicit output table schema with defined columns, and named detection passes with severity heuristics — mostly executable, copy-paste-ready guidance with only minor gaps, sitting at level 4 short of the fully-exhaustive level 5. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Quotes the clearly sequenced nine execution steps and the abort checkpoint ('Abort with an error message if any required file is missing'); the sequence and most checkpoints are present, but there is no explicit validate→fix→retry feedback loop for the analysis output itself, so it lands at 'clear sequence with most checkpoints' rather than the feedback-loop level 5. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Quotes a single ~250-line monolithic body with no bundle files and no external references; section headers organize it well, but the large duplicated hook-handling content and bulk detail are inlined rather than split into referenced files, matching 'some structure but content that should be separate is inline.' | 3 / 5 |
