100%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 lean, high-density reference: executable examples for every subcommand, non-obvious behavior (stderr UI, abort exit statuses, pipe color stripping) stated as rules, a validated workflow with syntax and edge-case checks, and version-sensitive material isolated in an 'Older versions' section. Progressive disclosure is correctly implemented against the single one-level-deep reference file.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every section carries gum-specific facts Claude would not reliably know (exit status 130 on Ctrl+c, prompts drawing on stderr, ANSI stripping when piped, 2.x key bindings), with zero space spent on concepts Claude already knows. Time-sensitive version material is quarantined in an "Older versions" section and a baseline declaration, which the guidelines explicitly exempt from a conciseness penalty. The only trim candidates are one or two duplicated example lines between "Prompts" and the final recipe, which is composition value rather than padding — this fits the 5 anchor better than the 4 anchor ("minor instances of over-explanation"). | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | All code is copy-paste executable: `format=$(gum choose --header "Format" JSON YAML TOML) || exit 1`, `gum spin --spinner dot --show-output --title "Listing files" -- find . -type f`, `gum table --print --border rounded --file status.csv`, plus a complete runnable script under `set -euo pipefail`. Specific gotcha handling ("add `--show-error` to print it", "wrap it in `timeout(1)`") covers the common failure cases, matching the 5 anchor (fully executable, common cases covered). | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The 5-step workflow sequences version guarding (`gum version-check '>=2.0.0' || exit 1`), a command-selection decision map, capture/exit handling, syntax validation (`bash -n script.sh`), and edge-case testing ("Ctrl+c, Esc, a declined confirm, and an empty selection") — an explicit checklist. It includes a feedback loop: "If a prompt does not show or a value is wrong, check the rules in [How gum behaves] and the command's section in references/commands.md". Script writing is not a destructive or batch operation, so no cap applies; this matches the 5 anchor (explicit validation steps, error-recovery pointers, checklist). | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Scored against the actual bundle: one reference file (references/commands.md, 207 lines) exists and contains sections for every subcommand named in the body; no scripts/ or assets/ are present or needed. It is referenced four times via clear markdown links ("Full flags and keys for every subcommand are in [references/commands.md]"), with the body enumerating exactly what lives there (style flags and env defaults, join layouts, format types, interactive table selection, pager search, log levels) — one level deep, well signaled, and easy to navigate ("If the request names a subcommand, go straight to it"). Exhaustive flag detail is delegated while examples and gotchas stay inline, matching the 5 anchor. | 5 / 5 |
