77%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.
A strongly actionable, well-sequenced workflow with thorough validation and feedback loops. Its main weakness is verbosity from duplicated whitelist material and anecdotal padding, and a monolithic structure that could offload the whitelist spec and prompt templates into reference files.
Suggestions
Consolidate the edit-whitelist behavior into one section (e.g. the 'Optional: Edit Whitelist' block) and have Steps 3/6 and Key Rules reference it rather than re-describing the gate, logging schema, and end-of-round surfacing each time.
Move the whitelist YAML schema, resolution rules, and forbidden-operation detector table into a references/ file (e.g. EDIT_WHITELIST.md) and the two review prompt templates into references/review-prompts.md, leaving SKILL.md as an overview that links one level deep.
Trim or relocate the recurring 'Empirical motivation' anecdotes into a single 'Design notes' section so the workflow steps stay lean and token-efficient.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The core is actionable rather than teaching basics, but the ~575-line body repeats the edit-whitelist behavior across four locations (Constants, the long 'Optional: Edit Whitelist' section, the Step 3/6 gates, and Key Rules) and carries several narrative 'Empirical motivation' anecdotes that are padding; it is mostly efficient yet could be materially tightened, fitting the 3 anchor better than the 4. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | It provides copy-paste-ready bash, a full Python normalization script, complete spawn_agent prompt templates, and concrete fix-pattern tables covering the common cases; the few bracketed placeholders ([VENUE], [list figure files]) are clearly intended for substitution in a parameterized skill rather than gaps. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 0–9 are clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints (recompile verification, the Step 4.5 Restatement Regression Test feedback loop, and the Step 8 format check with hard stop criteria and auto-fix patterns), satisfying the top anchor including feedback loops for the batch/destructive edit operations. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Section structure is clear and the one external reference (../shared-references/review-tracing.md) is signaled one level deep, but no bundle files exist and the large whitelist schema/rules plus the repeated review-prompt templates are inlined in a monolithic 575-line SKILL.md rather than split into reference files, matching the 'some structure but content that should be separate is inline' anchor. | 3 / 5 |
