71%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.
A lean, well-sequenced protocol body whose structure respects token budget and whose workflow includes monitoring and fallback loops. Its main defects are executability gaps — a referenced parse_goal.py that is missing from the bundle and a vague action-mapping step — plus a poorly signaled reference to search_patterns.md.
Suggestions
Ship the actual parse_goal.py in a scripts/ directory (and reference it as scripts/parse_goal.py), or remove the script reference and inline the parsing rules — the body currently instructs use of a file that does not exist in the bundle.
Give references/search_patterns.md a clearly signaled pointer, e.g. a dedicated line like 'Fallback search patterns: see [references/search_patterns.md](references/search_patterns.md)' instead of the mid-sentence mention in section 4.
Add a concrete example of the parsed output dictionary for the 'look at pillow under the desklamp' case, and make section 3's action mapping explicit (e.g., 'look at X under Y' → 'go to desklamp' → 'examine beneath') so the guidance is directly executable.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~30-line body is lean and assumes Claude's competence: a tight input/output contract ('primary_target', 'reference_object', 'spatial_relation', 'action'), compact IF/THEN relation logic, and a one-line critical check. No padding and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows. Not 4 because there are essentially no tokens to trim. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | The output dictionary fields and IF/THEN sub-goal logic are concrete, but the invoked 'parsing script (parse_goal.py)' does not exist anywhere in the bundle, and section 3 is vague ('must be translated into the agent's available action set (go to, take, use, etc.)') with no concrete example of parsed output. Not 2 because real structured guidance exists; not 4 because a key executable artifact is missing and the action mapping is incomplete. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The four sections form a clear sequence (parse → generate sub-objectives → map objects/actions → execute & adapt) with an explicit checkpoint ('After each action, monitor the observation') and a failure-feedback loop ('If the expected object is not found, or the action fails ("Nothing happened"), consult the fallback logic'). Not 5 because the parse output is never validated and the fallback loop is deferred rather than explicit. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Scored against the actual bundle: references/search_patterns.md exists and holds genuinely separate material, but it is buried mid-sentence in section 4 with no clear signal or correct path, and parse_goal.py is referenced yet absent from the bundle entirely. Not 4 because a referenced path is broken and the existing reference is not clearly signaled; not 2 because the body does have section structure and only one level of referencing. | 3 / 5 |
