85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is well-structured and highly actionable with a clear sequenced workflow and proper progressive disclosure; its only weakness is mild verbosity from extended quotation and explanatory rationale that Claude could largely infer.
Suggestions
Trim the verbatim Gherkin-reference quote in the Overview to the single load-bearing rule (the step-text identity principle) rather than reproducing the full sentence.
In Step 6, state each hard-reject condition as a one-line gate without the follow-on justification paragraphs; the halt instruction itself is the actionable signal.
Consider folding the Anti-patterns table's 'Why it fails' column into the 'Fix' column to reduce token count while preserving the corrective guidance.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is mostly efficient but includes reasoning Claude could infer — it quotes the Gherkin reference at length ('Keywords are not taken into account...') and explains why each hard-reject condition fails ('A coverage map against an empty suite is vacuous...', 'the map would mislead rather than inform') — so it could be tightened without losing signal. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete commands ('npx cucumber-js --format json:reports/cucumber.json', 'mvn test -Dcucumber.plugin=...'), explicit data structures ('{ id, title, tags[], steps[] }', 'normalized_step_text -> [{ feature_file, scenario_title, line_number }]'), a status-classification table, and a filled worked example. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Six explicitly sequenced steps with validation gates in Step 6 (empty suite, unparseable Gherkin, index < 5) and a feedback loop ('Fix the syntax first; use acceptance-criteria-extractor to regenerate'), matching the clear-sequence-with-checkpoints anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Keeps the compact four-part instruction inline while delegating detailed output templates to the real, one-level-deep, clearly-signaled reference 'references/coverage-map-output-format.md', with well-organized sections and a references list. | 3 / 3 |
