Conciseness

The body is dense operational guidance (audit table, locale parsing rules, SSRF policy, delivery gates) with almost no explanation of concepts Claude already knows. Not 5: the §3f quick-map table ('Walmart | MediaMarkt | Carrefour ...') duplicates the shared 'cultural-adaptation.md' substitution tables despite 'Do not duplicate this file', and the ~60-line delivery-contract subsection could be tightened or moved to a reference.

Actionability

Most guidance is executable: exact commands ('python3 "$BLOG_SCRIPT_DIR/blog_render.py" --md <localized-file> --out-dir <locale-delivery-dir>', 'blog_preflight.py --strict --slug <localized-slug>'), concrete gates ('Require 90+/100, zero P0'), output naming ('{slug}-localized.{ext}'), and an error-handling table with specific actions. Not 5: a few §3c/3d directives are high-level without inline examples ('Use culturally appropriate action verbs', 'Adapt urgency framing', 'Match local content-style conventions') and fully depend on a referenced profile file not present in this bundle.

Workflow Clarity

Five clearly sequenced phases with explicit validation: Phase 4 is a verification checklist, and the delivery contract defines a feedback loop — 'After ANY later change to the file, hero, HTML, or PDF, re-render, re-init the nonce, and re-review (max 3 iterations). On failure, retain the file as draft-blocked'. Writes are protected by path checks, timestamped backups before overwrite, and preflight gates.

Progressive Disclosure

References are clearly signaled and one level deep ('${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../blog-translate/references/cultural-adaptation.md, the shared cultural profiles file ... Do not duplicate this file', plus 'Read the main reference orchestration-details.md before loading project context'). Not 5: this bundle ships no references/ or scripts/ files of its own, the body inlines substantial content (the §3f substitution table and the long delivery-contract procedure) that belongs in a separate reference, and none of the referenced external files can be verified from the bundle.

Specificity

The description enumerates concrete capability areas — 'local examples, CTAs, legal references, statistic sources, and formality (Sie/du, tu/vous)' — plus 'Built-in profiles for DACH, Francophone, Hispanic, and Japanese markets', giving comprehensive, non-abstract coverage of what the skill does. Not 4: no meaningful gaps remain in the 'what' for this skill's scope; it lists five specific adaptation domains rather than 'several with minor gaps'.

Completeness

It answers both questions explicitly: 'what' via the enumerated adaptation domains, and 'when' via 'Use when the user says ... and a translation already exists', including the precondition that a translation already exists. Not 4: the 'when' clause is fully explicit with concrete trigger phrases and a stated precondition, not merely present-but-imprecise.

Trigger Term Quality

Triggers include natural English phrases ('localize blog', 'cultural adaptation', 'adapt for Germany') plus target-market-language synonyms ('lokalisieren', 'localiser', 'adaptar'), matching how users in each supported market would actually phrase the request. Not 4: it goes beyond 'a few natural terms missing' by covering synonyms across all four supported market languages, not just English variants.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Negative boundaries name each adjacent skill — 'Not for translating (use blog-translate), auditing a folder of translations (use blog-locale-audit), or the full write-translate-localize pipeline (use blog-multilingual)' — and triggers are distinct from translation triggers. Not 4: conflict risk is actively minimized by explicit disambiguation against every sibling skill, not just 'minor overlap risk'.
