Conciseness

The body contains no concept explanations or filler; every sentence is an operating rule ('Do not infer the output from the caller's identity alone', 'A function call does not establish guarantees about its uninspected implementation'), and the one long block is an executable script rather than exposition. Not the 4 anchor, since there is no trimmable over-explanation anywhere.

Actionability

Guidance is concrete and executable: a copy-paste bash block that creates and validates $RUN_DIR, exact read triggers ('Read `references/intake.md` now'), a named dispatch protocol ('dispatch a generic subagent directly at the extraction tier, seeded with `references/agents/work-recap-scout.md`'), and enumerated common cases (empty range, empty window, no subagent primitive, dispatch failure, confirmation unavailable).

Workflow Clarity

Four named phases run in sequence with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops: 'Before delivery, check every factual claim against its source' with removal of unsupported claims, fail-fast `exit 1` checks on the scratch root, docs_root validation that stops with a named error, and a consent gate on publishing ('If confirmation cannot be obtained, do not publish'). Error-recovery paths are explicitly enumerated rather than implied, so it is not the 4 anchor.

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a lean orchestration overview that splits detail into eight real reference files, each signaled with when to read it ('before grounding, the first blocking question, or subagent dispatch'; 'now'; 'at compose time'; 'before acting'). All referenced paths exist under references/ (including the directly-referenced agents/ scouts), and grepping the reference files shows no second-level indirection chains — matching the clear-overview, one-level-deep anchor.

Specificity

'Explain how and why something has its current shape, or what happened over a window of work, grounded in evidence' names the domain plus two concrete capability branches, but omits the fuller action list the body actually covers (teaching artifacts, recap mode, destination handling). It matches the 1-2-concrete-actions anchor rather than 'lists several specific actions' (4).

Completeness

Both parts are explicit: the what is 'Explain how and why something has its current shape, or what happened over a window of work, grounded in evidence' and the when is 'Use when the user asks for an explanation.' The when-clause is a single generic trigger without the concrete trigger phrases of the 5 anchor, matching 'when could be more explicit or specific' (4).

Trigger Term Quality

Natural keywords are present — 'Explain', 'how and why', 'what happened', 'explanation', 'judgment or recommendation' — giving good coverage, but common variations a user would actually say ('recap', 'walk me through', 'why does X behave this way', 'teach') are missing, so it falls short of comprehensive synonym coverage (5).

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

'Use ce-pov for a judgment or recommendation' explicitly carves out the nearest neighbor, and the evidence-grounded work-window scope gives a distinct niche. However, 'Use when the user asks for an explanation' is broad enough to overlap other explanation-shaped skills, so it is 'mostly distinct; minor overlap risk' rather than minimal conflict (5).
