78%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.
Well-structured, actionable content with concrete commands, a worked example, and clean one-level-deep progressive disclosure to a verified reference file. Slightly verbose in places and the workflow's error-recovery branch could be more explicit.
Suggestions
Tighten the worked example's Hypothesis/Recommended-next-step prose - the sample-share table already conveys the rank-1+rank-5 sum, so the arithmetic narrative is redundant.
Make the re-profile validation step an explicit feedback loop: 'if the dominant leaf's share did not drop as expected, re-examine the classification' rather than a single confirm step.
Collapse the inline category table's interpretation prose where the 'Signature in the flame graph' cell repeats the frame names already implied by the category.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient and assumes Claude's competence (defers to a Brendan Gregg link rather than re-explaining flame graphs), but the worked example and category table carry some explanatory padding that could be trimmed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete executable commands ('sort -k2 -n -r folded.txt | head -5', 'npx clinic flame -- node app.js') and a complete worked example with specific remediation; minor gaps where classification guidance is interpretive rather than executable. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 5-step 'How to use' sequence with an explicit re-profile validation checkpoint ('Re-profile after the change to confirm the delta, then hand off to perf-budget-gate'); the feedback loop is present but error-recovery branching is implicit. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | A concise overview that repeatedly and clearly signals one-level-deep references to the real references/capturing-and-interpreting-flame-graphs.md file for per-runtime wiring, the remediation catalog, and extended cases. | 5 / 5 |
