86%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.
An exceptionally lean standards document: every line is a directive with no filler, stack-specific detail is properly delegated to real one-level references, and validation requirements are woven in wherever risky operations appear. Its only weaknesses are the absence of worked examples for the more abstract rules and the lack of an explicit stepwise procedure with checkpoints.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is wall-to-wall directives with zero concept explanations and zero padding ("A pathname alone grants no right to replace or delete a file"; "One lifetime, one owner"), fully assuming Claude's competence — every token earns its place. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, specific guidance is present throughout (`mktemp -d` outside the worktree, `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` scoping, `text eol=lf` in `.gitattributes`, winerror 32 handling), and the must-fail control mechanics are stated precisely, but most rules are abstract directives with no worked example of a control, which is the minor gap keeping it below fully executable guidance. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The reading/application flow is clearly sequenced ("Before changing code, load the reference for each affected stack under § Language Discipline"; "Load only the references for the code being changed"), and § Prove Your Guards embeds a control procedure with validation requirements (assert match counts, reject assertions matching skip notes, remove the mktemp root afterward); it is not a 5 because no explicit stepwise workflow with error-recovery checkpoints is laid out. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The Language Discipline section maps each stack (Rust/Cargo, Bash, TypeScript/JavaScript, views/UI) to a real, one-level-deep file in references/ with clear load conditions, keeps cross-cutting doctrine in the body, and correctly splits stack specifics into the four existing reference files. | 5 / 5 |
