A well-structured, actionable pre-commit checklist with concrete commands, real file paths, explicit blocking gates, and clean sectioning. Its only weakness is token efficiency: a motivational 'Core Principle' section and a tangential command-relationship diagram add length without adding actionable value.
Suggestions
Remove or shrink the 'Core Principle' section ('Delivery includes not just code...') — it is motivational summary Claude already assumes and adds no actionable pre-commit guidance.
Trim the 'Relationship to Other Commands' ASCII flow diagram to a one-line pointer (e.g., 'Run before `git commit`; follow with `$record-session`') to cut ~15 lines of non-essential context.
Consider folding the 'Common Oversights' table into the relevant checklist sections so the body stays a single actionable artifact rather than checklist-plus-commentary.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The checklist core is lean and efficient, but the 'Core Principle' motivational statement ('Delivery includes not just code, but also documentation...') and the 'Relationship to Other Commands' ASCII flow diagram are non-essential context that could be tightened. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable commands ('npm run lint', 'npm run typecheck', 'git diff --name-only') and specific checklist items referencing real paths and patterns (`.trellis/spec/backend/`, `console.log`, `x!`, `any`). | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Sequenced Quick Check Flow, explicit checklists, and a blocking validation gate ('If infra/cross-layer changed but the related spec is still abstract, do NOT finish. Run `$update-spec` manually first') with a remediation feedback loop. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | No bundle files exist and none are needed; the single SKILL.md is well-organized into clearly headed, numbered sections with a coherent structure, satisfying the simple-skill allowance for well-organized content with no external references. | 3 / 3 |
