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.
The body is a well-sequenced, actionable orchestration guide with strong validation and feedback loops, scoring high on workflow clarity and actionability. Its weaknesses are minor verbosity in templated report blocks and the absence of any progressive-disclosure bundle — all detail is inline in one file with dangling external references.
Suggestions
Move the per-phase checkpoint report templates and the full Phase 6 report scaffold into a references/ file (e.g. report-templates.md) and link to it from the phases, reducing inline tokens and improving progressive_disclosure.
Either ship the referenced ../../shared-references/output-versioning.md, output-manifest.md, and output-language.md files in the bundle or replace the dangling links with inline one-line summaries so the references are real and navigable.
Trim the emoji checkpoint blocks to a compact bullet form to tighten conciseness without losing the concrete output contract.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient — uses tables, code blocks, and clear sections and assumes Claude's competence (no explanation of LaTeX/PDF basics) — but the repeated emoji checkpoint report templates and the full Phase 6 report scaffold are instances of padding that could be trimmed, fitting anchor 4 rather than the lean anchor 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete invocations for each phase ('/paper-plan "$ARGUMENTS"', '/paper-figure "PAPER_PLAN.md"', 'latexmk -pdf', the Phase 5.9 gate command) and explicit constants, but some phases defer to sub-skill internals described in prose ('Codex plans → Gemini optimizes → Nano Banana Pro renders') rather than copy-paste-ready code, fitting anchor 4. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Six phases are clearly numbered and sequenced, each with 'What this does / Output / Checkpoint', and the pipeline includes explicit validation (compilation must succeed before the loop, the Phase 5.9 fresh-gate that blocks the Final Report on BLOCK) and review→fix→recompile feedback loops across two rounds, matching the anchor 5 example with validation steps and error-recovery loops. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The file has good section structure and clearly-signaled markdown references to shared output protocols, but it is a ~300-line monolith with no bundle files present (references/, scripts/, assets/ are empty) and the referenced ../../shared-references/*.md files do not exist in this bundle, so content that could live in separate files is inlined and external refs dangle, fitting anchor 3. | 3 / 5 |
