testland/definition-of-done

The team's Definition of Done (DoD), both halves of the lifecycle: authoring and auditing. Explains the Scrum Guide's DoD definition ("a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product"), proposes a starter DoD with the 7-10 lines most teams need (code reviewed, unit tests, docs, AC met, deployed to staging, smoke passed, no a11y regressions, telemetry wired), emits a per-PR checklist a reviewer enforces, and audits work against an existing DoD line by line with repository evidence (review records, diffs, CI runs, coverage reports), tagging every line met, not met, or unverifiable - never passing a line on self-attestation. Use when the team doesn't have a DoD, wants to revise theirs, or is about to mark a story or PR done and nobody has checked the work against the committed checklist.

Quality

Content

92%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 high-quality body that balances authoring and auditing halves with executable commands, real evidence standards, explicit validation feedback loops, and a well-placed reference for the worked example. Only minor tightening of audit prose would improve conciseness further.

Suggestions

Tighten the prose paragraphs in the 'Auditing adherence' section (e.g. the two Scrum-Guide framing paragraphs) — the tables already carry the load and some narration restates them.

Consider moving the full line-pattern-to-evidence mapping table into the worked-example reference if the spine ever grows, to keep the overview leaner.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient and assumes Claude's intelligence (no explaining what Scrum, CI, or coverage are); the evidence-mapping and three-states tables earn their tokens, though some prose around the audit section could be tightened.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete executable commands throughout — `gh pr view --json reviews,reviewDecision`, `git diff --name-only`, LCOV `LF:`/`LH:` parsing, the axe `violations` array — plus copy-paste-ready starter DoD and PR template, covering the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The audit half is a clearly sequenced process (pin revision/window → split atomic lines → handle conditionals → map patterns to evidence → assign states → verdict) with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops ('self-attestation is not evidence', 'a green CI run for a different SHA proves nothing', unverifiable blocks until a named human supplies evidence).

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized overview in SKILL.md with a single clearly-signaled one-level-deep reference to the real file references/adherence-worked-example.md ('A full stage-2 audit worked end to end is in [references/adherence-worked-example.md]'), keeping the bulk worked example out of the spine.

Description

92%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, specific description that names both lifecycle halves and concrete artifacts, with an explicit 'Use when' trigger clause and third-person voice. Minor room to densify natural trigger synonyms, but it clearly answers what and when with low conflict risk.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'proposes a starter DoD with the 7-10 lines most teams need', 'emits a per-PR checklist a reviewer enforces', and 'audits work against an existing DoD line by line with repository evidence (review records, diffs, CI runs, coverage reports), tagging every line met, not met, or unverifiable' — with no meaningful coverage gaps.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' ('both halves of the lifecycle: authoring and auditing' with enumerated actions) and 'when' ('Use when the team doesn't have a DoD, wants to revise theirs, or is about to mark a story or PR done and nobody has checked the work against the committed checklist').

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural user phrases ('Definition of Done', 'DoD', 'mark a story or PR done', 'doesn't have a DoD', 'wants to revise theirs') with synonyms, but leans on scenario framings rather than a dense list of natural trigger terms, leaving a few common variations implicit.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche — Definition of Done authoring plus repository-evidence auditing — with distinct triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.
