Conciseness

The body is dense and domain-specific — plugin-data workarounds, state-ledger JSON, scope/code-syntax tables, reuse decision matrix — with no padding explaining concepts Claude already knows. However, Section 9 (per-phase anti-patterns) restates roughly ten rules already given verbatim in Section 3 (ALL_SCOPES, aliasing vs raw values, INSTANCE_SWAP for icons, variant-matrix cap of 30, never parallelize, never guess IDs, use helper scripts), and Section 5 inlines get_libraries return-shape detail that belongs in references/discovery-phase.md — so it could be tightened, matching the score-4 anchor (efficient, minor instances that could be trimmed) rather than 5 (every token earns its place) or 3 (noticeably padded).

Actionability

Guidance is fully executable: copy-paste JavaScript for setSharedPluginData tagging, concrete search_design_system/get_libraries invocation examples with parameter shapes, a full state-ledger JSON example, exact code-syntax formats ('var(--color-bg-primary)'), nine named helper scripts in scripts/ with their purposes, and per-phase checklists with literal task IDs. Specific examples cover the common cases; nothing is pseudocode or hand-wavy.

Workflow Clarity

The five phases (0–4) are strictly ordered with per-phase checklists, exit criteria ('every token from the agreed plan exists, all scopes set, all code syntax set'), explicit validation steps (get_metadata after every create, get_screenshot after each component), idempotency checks before every create, a resume protocol for context truncation, and a required-on-error reference (error-recovery.md) — matching the score-5 anchor of clear sequence, explicit validation, feedback loops, and checklists. Not below 5 because validation and recovery are pervasive, not implicit.

Progressive Disclosure

The body is an orchestration overview with well-signaled, one-level-deep references: Section 10 maps each of the seven references/ docs (all verified to exist) to its phase with Required/Optional and 'Load when' columns, and Section 11 lists all nine scripts/ files (all verified to exist) with purposes. Bulk detail (token creation, component creation, error recovery) is correctly deferred to references rather than inlined. The only external pointer is the cross-skill ../figma-use/references/gotchas.md link, which is a declared prerequisite skill, not a nested reference.

Specificity

The description lists multiple specific concrete actions — 'create variables/tokens', 'build component libraries', 'create individual components with proper variant sets and variable bindings', 'set up theming (light/dark modes)', 'document foundations', 'reconcile gaps between code and Figma' — giving comprehensive, non-generic coverage of the skill's capabilities. It uses third person voice throughout ('Build', 'Use when'), so no voice penalty applies.

Completeness

Both 'what' ('Build or update a professional-grade design system in Figma from a codebase') and 'when' (two explicit 'Use when'/'Also use when' clauses with concrete triggers) are clearly and explicitly answered. This matches the score-5 anchor exactly; the score-4 anchor ('when' could be more explicit) does not apply since triggers are enumerated in detail.

Trigger Term Quality

Natural trigger phrases users would actually say are well covered: 'design system in Figma', 'variables/tokens', 'component libraries', 'theming (light/dark modes)', 'reconcile gaps between code and Figma', and synonym pairs like 'create or generate any component'. Not below 4 because synonyms and edge-case phrasings ('even a single one') are explicitly included; not above 5 as this is the top anchor.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The skill has a clear niche (design-system generation in Figma) and explicitly distinguishes itself from the closely related `figma-use` skill ('it complements the figma-use skill which teaches HOW to call the Plugin API'). However, the broadened trigger 'Also use when the user asks to create or generate any component in Figma — even a single one' deliberately overlaps the sibling figma-use skill's territory, creating minor conflict risk — matching the score-4 anchor (mostly distinct, minor overlap risk with closely related skills) rather than 5.
