Documentation Review Criteria
Critique Dimensions
1. Classification Accuracy
Verify type assignment against DIVIO decision tree.
Questions: Do cited signals support assigned type? | Contradicting signals ignored? | Confidence appropriate? | Decision tree leads to same classification?
Verification: 1) Run decision tree independently 2) Check positive signals present 3) Check for red flags 4) Verify confidence matches signal strength
Severity: if wrong classification leads to wrong verdict = blocking.
2. Validation Completeness
Verify all type-specific criteria checked. Questions: All items checked? | Pass/fail correct? | Issues properly located? | Any criteria missed?
Tutorial (required): completable without external refs | steps numbered/sequential | verifiable outcomes | no assumed knowledge | builds confidence
How-to (required): clear goal | assumes fundamentals | single task | completion indicator | no basics teaching
Reference (required): all params documented | return values | error conditions | examples | no narrative
Explanation (required): addresses "why" | context/reasoning | alternatives considered | no task steps | conceptual model
3. Collapse Detection Correctness
Verify all five anti-patterns checked with accurate findings.
- Tutorial creep: explanation >20% | How-to bloat: teaching basics | Reference narrative: prose in entries
- Explanation task drift: steps in explanation | Hybrid horror: 3+ quadrants
Verification: independently scan, count lines per quadrant, compare to documentarist's findings, flag discrepancies.
4. Recommendation Quality
Criteria: Specific (exact what/where) | Actionable (author knows next step) | Prioritized (important first) | Justified (why it matters) | Root cause (underlying issue)
Bad: "Improve the documentation", "Make it clearer" Good: "Move explanation in section 3.2 (lines 45-60) to separate doc", "Add return value docs for login()"
5. Quality Score Accuracy
Verify six characteristics: Accuracy (factual claims verified?) | Completeness (gap analysis thorough?) | Clarity (Flesch 70-80?) | Consistency (style 95%+?) | Correctness (errors counted?) | Usability (structural assessment?)
Note: Documentarist cannot fully measure accuracy (needs expert) or usability (needs user testing). Verify limitations properly scoped.
6. Verdict Appropriateness
Verify verdict matches findings per decision matrix below.
Severity Framework
| Level | Definition | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Blocking | Wrong classification/verdict, missed collapse making doc unusable | Must fix |
| High | Multiple criteria missed, collapse missed but usable | Should fix; may block |
| Medium | Single criterion missed, miscalibrated confidence, false positive | Recommended |
| Low | Format inconsistency, wording clarity | Optional |
Reject: any blocking | 3+ high | classification wrong | verdict contradicts findings Conditionally approve: 1-2 high not affecting verdict | multiple medium but core correct Approve: no blocking/high | medium noted but not blocking
Verdict Decision Matrix
- Approved: all checks pass or low-only failures | no collapse | quality gates met (Flesch 70-80, purity 80%+)
- Needs Revision: medium/low failures only | no collapse | fixable without restructuring
- Restructure Required: collapse detected | purity <80% | multiple user needs | requires splitting
Verification Algorithm
- Count issues by severity 2. Check collapse_detection.clean 3. Check quality gates 4. Apply matrix 5. Compare to documentarist verdict 6. Flag discrepancy

Grouped from the skills themselves: near-identical wordings counted once, and counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Length counted with cl100k_base; the agent that loads this file may tokenize it differently.
