refactor: add binary instruction content checklist#774
Merged
Conversation
…ain-agnostic
Two changes:
1. Replace subjective self-check ("would the LLM produce worse results
without this?") with six binary checks that have clear pass/fail
criteria: no code blocks, no library/tool names, no file paths,
no procedures, no technique explanations, ≤15 line budget.
2. Make instruction quality rules domain-agnostic by removing coding-
specific vocabulary (TypeScript, Jest, blessed/ink, file paths) and
replacing with domain-neutral language that applies equally across
coding, writing, research, design, and operations.
Also update verify-test Step 3 to use the same binary criteria for
CONTINUE decisions.

Summary
Why
The previous self-check ("would the LLM produce worse results?") was subjective — the LLM always judges its own output as necessary. Binary checks (code block present? library name present?) have clear yes/no answers with specific remediation actions, matching the pattern of structural checks (#2-6) that already work.
Checklist
Supersedes #773.
