81%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.
An exceptionally actionable, well-sequenced operational guide with explicit validation checkpoints, feedback loops, and a genuine 24-file progressive-disclosure bundle that all checks out on disk. Its weakness is token efficiency: duplicated routing tables (§2 vs §7), inline version-history details, and card/stream contract material inlined in SKILL.md that duplicates its own reference files.
Suggestions
Merge §2 'Decision tree' and §7 'When to read which reference' into one routing table — they cover the same 24 reference files with heavily overlapping rows, and a single 'situation → command → reference' table would remove roughly 60 lines.
Move the exact passing/failing result-card templates (§1.5, §1.6) into references/cards.md, keeping only the field-to-source mapping and the 'read cards.md before presenting any non-pass result' rule inline — cards.md already exists and is mandated reading for every other card type.
Consolidate the scattered version requirements (0.6.1+, 0.8.14+, 0.8.15+, 0.8.17+, 0.8.21+, 0.10.0+, 0.10.3+) into a single compatibility table or a 'version requirements' note in references/setup-and-config.md, since time-sensitive version details woven through the prose penalize conciseness and will rot with releases.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dense and almost entirely non-obvious operational guidance (no explanations of concepts Claude already knows), but it could be meaningfully tightened: §2 'Decision tree' and §7 'When to read which reference' are two large routing tables covering the same reference files with substantially overlapping rows, and version-number history (0.6.1+, 0.8.14+, 0.8.15+, 0.8.17+, 0.8.21+, 0.10.0+, 0.10.3+) is woven inline throughout rather than consolidated, which the rubric explicitly penalizes. This lands at the 3 anchor ('mostly efficient but... could be tightened') rather than 2, since nearly every sentence is actionable rather than padded. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is fully executable throughout: copy-paste-ready commands ('KANE_CLI_USER_AGENT=<your-runtime> kane-cli run "<objective>" --agent', 'sh "<skill dir>/scripts/preflight.sh"', 'kane-cli testrun run <paths> --remote --device-name "<grid device>" --os-version <v> < /dev/null'), a concrete NDJSON parsing strategy in pseudocode-free logic, exact exit-code semantics (0/1/2/3, with exit 3 redefined per command family), exact result-card tables with field substitutions, and worked objective examples. This matches the 5 anchor ('fully executable; copy-paste ready... specific examples cover the common cases'). | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The core workflow is explicitly sequenced with a fixed order ('ready check → launch line → the run → result card'), validated up front by a preflight script, and includes explicit feedback loops: fill variables then verify with 'a fresh kane-cli testrun run <files> --dry-run --agent < /dev/null ... a valid plan with no warning is the check', failure recovery paths per exit code (1 → failure card + extract screenshot from the evidence pack; 2 with no progress → didn't-start card), and checkpointed flows for designed-test failures and first-session onboarding. This matches the 5 anchor ('clear sequence with explicit validation steps; feedback loops for error recovery'). | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The bundle is well structured: 24 one-level-deep reference files (all verified to exist), each signposted with the exact situation that calls for it via both the decision tree (§2) and the 'When to read which reference' table (§7), plus two preflight scripts referenced by path. It stops short of the 5 anchor because a notable amount of detail that belongs in those references is inlined in SKILL.md — the full passing/failing card templates duplicate references/cards.md, the §5 stream-contract minutiae (per-command --agent/--mode agent rules, 0.7.1 prose-receipt edge cases) duplicate references/parsing.md and references/assurance-parsing.md, and the four-step variable-fill procedure extends what §3's reference files already cover — matching the 4 anchor ('most content is appropriately placed... minor organization gaps'). | 4 / 5 |
