85%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 estimation workflow with clean progressive disclosure to three real reference files. Its main weakness is mild redundancy where the differentiation boundary and symbol definitions are restated across multiple sections.
Suggestions
Consolidate the 'shape in, hours and owners out' boundary so it is stated once in the Differentiation axis section rather than echoed in the Overview and Anti-patterns table.
Drop the prose redefinition of a/m/b in Step 2 since the symbol table already defines them, keeping only the citational context.
Trim overlap between the Anti-patterns table and the Limitations list by keeping failure fixes in Anti-patterns and moving pure scope caveats to Limitations.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient and dense with practical content, but the shape-in/hours-out boundary and the a/m/b definitions are restated across the Overview, Differentiation axis, and Anti-patterns sections, and the Anti-patterns table overlaps the Limitations list. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Fully executable guidance: PERT and variance-sum formulas in copy-paste blocks, concrete risk-weight and ledger-category tables, a six-step Delphi sequence, and an ordered seven-section output format. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps 1-5 are clearly sequenced with explicit checkpoints (force one risk-1 and one risk-3, six mandatory ledger categories, capacity flags) and a feedback loop (recompute affected rows when an assumption breaks rather than pad). | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | SKILL.md is an overview with well-signaled, one-level-deep references to change-shape-classifier.md, worked-example.md, and effort-estimate-output-template.md, all of which exist as real bundle files. | 5 / 5 |
