Content
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The content is well-organized and actionable with a clear process and verification checklist, but it is verbose with redundant framings of the same rules and monolithic where templates could be split into reference files.
Suggestions
De-duplicate the seven mandatory sections so they appear once (e.g. in the mandatory template) and are merely checked off in the quality checklist rather than restated.
Move the 'Update Templates' block into a references/templates.md file and link to it from SKILL.md, keeping the main file as an overview to improve progressive disclosure.
Trim or merge the 'Interactive Mode' checklist with the 'When to Update Code-Specs' table since they cover overlapping trigger ground.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~330-line body is mostly actionable but repeats material — the seven mandatory sections appear in the rule list, the template, and the quality checklist, and the 'When to Update' table overlaps the 'Interactive Mode' checklist — so it could be tightened. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | It provides concrete, copy-paste-ready markdown templates (Design Decision, Convention, Pattern, Forbidden Pattern, Common Mistake, Gotcha) plus a concrete read command 'cat .trellis/spec/<category>/<file>.md', giving specific executable guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear five-step sequence (Identify → Classify → Read → Make the Update → Update Index) is followed by an explicit 'Quality Checklist' that serves as a verification checkpoint before finishing. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | There are no bundle files and the entire skill — including the substantial Update Templates block that could live in a separate reference file — is inline in one monolithic document, so structure exists but content that should be split is not separated. | 2 / 3 |
