flow-driven-choose

Identify the value streams an organisation actually runs — operational (a request stream with someone waiting) and development (building something that did not exist) — and choose which one to make agentic first, with a scored, reversible recommendation. Use before defining any workflow, when an org asks "where should we apply AI/agents", when an agentic programme has produced demos but no change in outcomes, or when picking the next stream after the first one is running. Part of the flow-driven family.

Quality

Content

82%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A lean, dense method body with concrete probing questions, named scoring dimensions, a ranked first-move ladder, and a defined output artifact — genuinely actionable for an instruction-only skill. Its weaknesses are that validation is not wired into the workflow as a step, and two steps delegate critical detail (the scoring scale, the five unit-of-value tests) to reference files that are missing from the bundle and referenced via nonstandard paths.

Suggestions

Inline a one-line scoring anchor for each of the seven dimensions (or at least the scale range) so step 4 is executable even before opening value-streams.md, and ensure value-streams.md actually ships in the bundle.

Add an explicit final workflow step that validates the written choice brief against the Quality Gates (and what to revise if a gate fails), turning the gates into a real checkpoint rather than a detached list.

Fix the reference paths to skill-relative form (references/value-streams.md instead of skills/flow-driven/references/value-streams.md) and enumerate — or at least summarize — the five unit-of-value tests in the body, since unit-of-value.md is absent from the bundle.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Dense, skill-specific heuristics throughout ("operational streams die of queueing, development streams die of undetected wrongness", "A stream you cannot name without listing departments is an org chart", "Starting at 'orchestrate' is the standard, expensive mistake") with no padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows — every token earns its place (anchor 5).

5 / 5

Actionability

The four questions, the seven named scoring dimensions, the yield-per-risk ladder ("make it visible → assemble context → draft in a step → automate a check → run a step → orchestrate"), and the artifact template ("reviews/YYYY-MM-DD-stream-choice.md") are concrete and executable, but step 4's scoring scale and step 6's "five tests" are delegated to value-streams.md and unit-of-value.md, which are not present in the bundle — a gap beyond anchor 5's 'fully executable'.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Seven clearly sequenced steps with a stopping rule ("Stop when you hit something outside their control"), an embedded failure signal ("if nobody can attempt a sentence here, that is itself the finding"), and a Quality Gates checklist — but the gates are not wired into the sequence as an explicit final validation step and there is no revise-on-failure loop, leaving the minor checkpoint gaps of anchor 4 rather than anchor 5.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a clean overview with a References section that one-line-describes each file and points one level deep (no nesting), matching good structure; however, the referenced files (value-streams.md, workflow-archetypes.md, unit-of-value.md) do not exist in the bundle, and the paths use a nonstandard repo-relative prefix ("skills/flow-driven/references/...") rather than skill-relative paths — minor organization and navigation gaps that keep it below anchor 5.

Description

83%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description: it states concrete capabilities (identify, score, recommend) and an explicit 'Use when' clause containing a verbatim user phrasing of the core trigger question. Minor gaps in action coverage and adjacent synonyms keep specificity and trigger quality at 4 rather than 5.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Identify the value streams an organisation actually runs", "choose which one to make agentic first", and "with a scored, reversible recommendation" name several concrete actions with a concrete deliverable, but classification and the choice-brief output are only implied, leaving minor gaps in coverage (anchor 4). Not 3, since it goes well beyond 1-2 actions; not 5, since coverage is not fully comprehensive.

4 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both: what ("Identify the value streams an organisation actually runs ... and choose which one to make agentic first, with a scored, reversible recommendation") and when ("Use before defining any workflow, when an org asks 'where should we apply AI/agents', when an agentic programme has produced demos but no change in outcomes, or when picking the next stream") with concrete trigger phrases — a clear anchor-5 match; anchor 4's weaker 'when' does not apply.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

"where should we apply AI/agents" is a verbatim natural user phrase, supported by "agentic programme", "value streams", and "before defining any workflow" — good keyword coverage, though adjacent synonyms users might say (e.g. "which process to automate", "AI use case selection") are missing, stopping short of the comprehensive anchor.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is distinct ("choose which one to make agentic first", "Part of the flow-driven family") with situation-specific triggers, but "Use before defining any workflow" and shared "value stream"/"workflow" vocabulary create minor overlap risk with closely related family skills (flow-driven-define) and generic process-mapping skills (anchor 4, not 5).
