82%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 thorough, actionable, well-structured workflow with concrete templates and an explicit reviewer feedback loop. The main weaknesses are minor conciseness padding and the absence of an explicit output-write verification checkpoint.
Suggestions
Add an explicit final verification step (e.g., confirm PAPER_PLAN.md exists and contains all required sections) at the end of Step 7 to close the workflow_clarity checkpoint gap.
Trim non-essential prose such as the Codex overlay blockquote and acknowledgements, or move them to a separate reference file, to improve conciseness.
Consider extracting the detailed section templates (Step 3) and Figure/Citation plan tables into a reference file referenced one level deep to strengthen progressive disclosure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly lean and assumes Claude's competence, but includes a few padding sections (the Codex overlay blockquote, the acknowledgements, and explanatory notes like "Theory papers often need 7 sections...") that could be trimmed slightly. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | It provides concrete, copy-paste-ready templates (Claims-Evidence Matrix, section-by-section planning blocks, Figure Plan table, Citation Plan) and a concrete MCP tool call with a ready prompt, covering the common cases. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 7-step sequence is present with an explicit reviewer feedback loop in Step 6 ("Apply feedback before finalizing"), but there is no explicit verification that the final PAPER_PLAN.md was written correctly, leaving a minor checkpoint gap. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is well-organized into clear sections (Constants, Inputs, Workflow, Output Protocols, Key Rules) with clearly signaled one-level-deep references to shared-references/*.md; however the body is a single ~265-line file rather than splitting detailed templates into reference files. | 4 / 5 |
