Conciseness

The body is lean, assumes competence, and contains no explanations of known concepts; every section is tables or commands. It falls short of anchor 5 because the core routing rule is restated five times (intro line, ASCII diagram, routing table, decision types, agent workflow) and the ASCII diagram in particular is trimmable duplication.

Actionability

Quick Start gives copy-paste-ready commands ("python scripts/db_route.py --json '{...}'"), the CLI reference documents every flag, an expected-output block shows the result, and the Agent Workflow provides a concrete executable pipeline with a real variable ("IDENT=$(python db-identify/scripts/db_identify.py course.db --json)"). This matches the fully-executable anchor 5.

Workflow Clarity

The Agent Workflow sequences steps explicitly (identify, route, execute) with branches for all four decision types, including the unknown_format error path to manual investigation. It stops short of anchor 5 because there is no explicit validation of the routing output or feedback loop (e.g. checking for unknown_format before proceeding); routing is not destructive or batch, so no cap applies.

Progressive Disclosure

Sections are well organized, implementation lives in the single one-level-deep bundle file scripts/db_route.py (which exists on disk and matches the documented commands), and the body stays an overview. Minor gaps keep it below anchor 5: the inline routing table duplicates data in the script (which --list-routes already exposes), and the Agent Workflow references the script via a different path form (db-router/scripts/db_route.py) than Quick Start.

Specificity

"Route database files to appropriate extraction method" and "Decides between DBeaver CLI (for supported formats) or db-extractor-* skills" name several concrete, specific actions with named tools. Minor gaps in coverage (no format-level detail) keep it below the comprehensive anchor 5, but it exceeds the 1-2 action scope of anchor 3.

Completeness

Both parts are explicit: the "what" ("Route database files... Decides between DBeaver CLI or db-extractor-* skills") and a "when" clause ("Use AFTER db-identify to determine extraction workflow"). The "when" is pipeline-ordering guidance rather than concrete user trigger phrases, so it does not reach anchor 5, but it is explicit rather than implied, so it is above anchor 3.

Trigger Term Quality

Relevant keywords like "database files", "extraction", and "DBeaver" are present, but the natural terms users would actually say — format names (sqlite, access, dbf), "export database", "dump" — are missing. This matches anchor 3 (some relevant keywords, missing common variations) rather than anchor 4's good coverage.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The description carves a clear router niche, explicitly positions itself downstream ("Use AFTER db-identify"), and names its distinct targets (DBeaver CLI, db-extractor-*), giving minimal conflict risk. It is not a 5 because generic "database" phrasing creates minor overlap risk with the db-identify and db-extractor skills it references.
