Conciseness

The body is lean and imperative ('No fluff. Why over what.'), assumes Claude already knows Conventional Commits and never explains it, and every rule earns its place. The only date ('before 2026-06-01') is illustrative content inside an example commit body rather than rotting instructional guidance, so it does not warrant a penalty — anchor 5 applies.

Actionability

Gives an exact subject template ('<type>(<scope>): <imperative summary>'), the full type list, character limits, and a wrong/right example pair plus a complete breaking-change example with BREAKING CHANGE trailer. The guidance is copy-paste ready and covers the common cases, matching anchor 5; as an instruction-only skill, absence of code is not penalized per the scoring notes.

Workflow Clarity

This is a simple single-purpose skill and the single action is unambiguous: generate the message and 'Output the message as a code block ready to paste.' The Auto-Clarity section gives explicit conditions for when a body is mandatory and the Boundaries section excludes execution, staging, and amending, so the simple-skill exception to anchor 5 applies. No destructive or batch operation exists, so the validation cap does not.

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and none are needed for a ~57-line skill; the body is organized into clear one-level sections (Rules, Examples, Auto-Clarity, Boundaries) with nothing that should be split into a separate file. Navigation is trivial, matching the well-organized-sections condition for anchor 5.

Specificity

The description names the domain ('Conventional Commits message') and one concrete action ('Write... compressed to intent only') but does not enumerate the skill's capabilities such as subject/body structure, breaking-change handling, or the terse-style constraint. It matches anchor 3 (domain plus 1-2 concrete actions, not comprehensive) rather than anchor 4, which expects several specific actions listed.

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Write a Conventional Commits message compressed to intent only') and when ('Use for "write a commit", "commit message", /commit or /caveman-commit') with concrete trigger phrases. This directly matches the anchor-5 example structure; the when-clause is present and specific, so it is not capped at 3.

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrases users would say ('write a commit', 'commit message') plus slash-command triggers (/commit, /caveman-commit), which is good coverage. It falls short of anchor 5 because common variations like 'git commit', 'make a commit', or 'commit this' are missing.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Conventional-Commits-with-intent-compression framing is a clear niche with dedicated slash-command triggers, but generic triggers like 'write a commit' overlap with any general commit-message skill. It fits anchor 4 (mostly distinct, minor overlap risk with closely related skills) rather than anchor 5's minimal conflict risk.
