Conciseness

The body is two tight sentences with zero padding ('This skill is a compatibility alias for docx. Load and follow the docx skill body for the actual workflow.'), assuming Claude's competence and earning every token, matching the 'lean and efficient' anchor exactly.

Actionability

'Load and follow the docx skill body' is a concrete, executable directive naming the exact target skill, meeting 'mostly executable guidance'; it stops short of score 5 only because no examples are given, though for an alias a single redirect is the whole task.

Workflow Clarity

Per the simple-skill exception, a single unambiguous action (load and follow the docx skill) can score 5; there is no destructive or batch operation, so the validation cap does not apply.

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is under 50 lines, needs no bundle files, and cleanly delegates one level deep to the docx skill with a clearly signaled pointer, satisfying the simple-skill exception for well-organized content.

Specificity

The description ('Compatibility alias for the docx skill. Prefer loading docx.') names the domain (docx) but states no concrete actions of its own — it only redirects to another skill, matching the 'names domain but actions minimal/generic' anchor rather than score 1 which requires total vagueness or score 3 which requires 1-2 concrete actions.

Completeness

It gives a clear 'what' (this is a compatibility alias for docx) but provides no 'Use when...' trigger clause, so per the judging guidelines a missing explicit trigger caps completeness at 3; it is not score 2 because the 'what' is clear rather than vague.

Trigger Term Quality

It contains the natural keyword 'docx' (a file extension users say), but offers no synonyms or variations and no trigger phrasing, fitting 'some relevant keywords but missing common variations'; it is above score 2 because 'docx' is specific rather than generic, but below score 4 which expects broader keyword coverage.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

By explicitly declaring itself a docx alias and instructing 'Prefer loading docx', it occupies a clear niche with only minor overlap risk against the real docx skill (intentional); it falls short of score 5 because the alias name 'documents' is broad and could surface for unrelated document tasks.
