80%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-organized, highly actionable reference with lean tables and executable configs, weakened only by an implicit (rather than explicit) validation feedback loop and inline reference material that could be split out.
Suggestions
Add an explicit validate→fix→retry checkpoint (e.g., 'After promptfoo eval, review failing assertions in the HTML report, fix prompts/assertions, then re-run eval until green') to lift workflow clarity.
Move the detailed assertion catalog (Step 4) and GitHub Action block (Step 8) into reference files (e.g., ASSERTIONS.md, CI.md) and link to them from the body to improve progressive disclosure.
Pin or call out version-sensitive items (e.g., the Node.js 20.20+/22.22+ requirement and pinned model snapshots) in a dedicated section so time-sensitive details don't clutter the core workflow.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense tables and executable snippets that assume Claude's competence — it never explains what YAML, assertions, or embeddings are — so most tokens earn their place, matching the lean score-3 anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides copy-paste-ready commands ('npm install -g promptfoo', 'promptfoo eval') and complete YAML configs including the GitHub Action, matching the fully-executable score-3 anchor. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Eight numbered steps give a clear sequence, but there is no explicit validate→fix→retry checkpoint in the authoring flow (eval/view/CI-gate are only implicit), fitting the score-2 'checkpoints missing or implicit' anchor rather than the score-3 explicit-validation anchor. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | External doc links are one level deep and clearly signaled, but no bundle files exist and the assertion catalog and CI details are substantial inline content that could live in separate reference files, fitting the score-2 'content that should be separate is inline' anchor. | 2 / 3 |
