86%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.
The body is a well-structured, highly actionable SCA workflow with a clean one-level reference for triage detail and a mandatory-suppression checkpoint plus re-review loop. Minor conciseness drift (repeated mode table, long worked example) and the absence of an explicit scan-output validation step keep it just short of top marks.
Suggestions
Trim the opening subcommand table or the narrative worked example, since the modes are already enumerated in the description, to tighten conciseness.
Add an explicit validation checkpoint after 'snyk test' (e.g., inspect snyk.json findings count / non-zero exit handling) before applying the --severity-threshold gate, to strengthen workflow_clarity.
Consolidate the repeated 'Per [sn-gh]' sourcing cues to a single attribution to reduce token repetition.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is command-first and efficient with brief inline comments, but the subcommand table repeats modes already in the description and the narrative worked example adds length that could be trimmed. Not 5 because not every token earns its place; not 3 because padding is minor rather than pervasive. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands ('npm install -g snyk', 'snyk test --severity-threshold=high', 'snyk monitor --org=my-org') plus a complete CI YAML cover the common cases. Not below 5 because guidance is concrete and complete, not pseudocode. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 6-step sequence pairs with a mandatory triage checkpoint ('must include an expires field') and a quarterly re-review feedback loop. Not 5 because there is no explicit output-validation command between scan and gate; not 3 because checkpoints (triage, re-review, anti-patterns) are present. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is an overview that pushes the heavy policy schema, justification template, suppression-layer table, and re-review cadence to a clearly signaled, one-level-deep reference (references/snyk-policy-and-triage.md, a real file). Not below 5 because the split is appropriate and navigation is easy. | 5 / 5 |
