Conciseness

The body runs ~1230 lines (~90KB) with substantial duplication: the em-dash ban is stated four times (Section 4.10 "em-dash is completely banned", Section 9.F "NO em-dash (—) as a design element OR anywhere else", all of Section 9.G, and the Section 14 checklist "ZERO em-dashes (—) anywhere on the page"), eyebrow rules appear in 4.7, 9.F, and 14, and Sections 1.A/1.B are near-duplicate dial tables. It also explains concepts Claude already knows (RSC "use client" mechanics in Section 3.A, WCAG contrast basics, prefers-reduced-motion basics). This is noticeably verbose with several padded/duplicated sections (anchor 2), not anchor 1, because the bulk is genuinely novel curated design knowledge rather than generic explanation.

Actionability

Guidance is fully executable throughout: real install commands ("npm install @carbon/react @carbon/styles", "npx shadcn@latest add button card badge separator"), complete copy-paste GSAP/Motion components with the critical parameters spelled out ("start: 'top top'", "pin: true", "invalidateOnRefresh: true"), exact hex bans ("#f5f1ea", "#b08947", "#1a1714"), and mechanically checkable validation rules ("If count > ceil(sectionCount / 3), the output fails"). This matches anchor 5: copy-paste-ready code and commands covering the common cases.

Workflow Clarity

The process is explicitly sequenced (Section 0 brief inference → Section 1 dials → Section 2 design-system map → build rules → Section 14 pre-flight) and closes with a mandatory validation gate with a feedback loop: "THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL. Run every box. If any box fails, the output is not done... Fix it before delivering." The redesign protocol (Section 11) adds its own ordered sequence with an audit-first checkpoint. This matches anchor 5 (clear sequence, explicit validation, checklists, fix-and-retry loop).

Progressive Disclosure

There are no bundle files (no references/, scripts/, or assets/ exist) - everything, including Appendix A install commands, Appendix B's 40+ canonical doc links, Appendix C's Liquid Glass CSS, and three full code skeletons, is inlined in a single 1230-line file. Internal structure is strong (numbered, clearly headed sections, cross-referenced by number), which keeps this above anchor 2's "minimal structure", but content that clearly belongs in separate reference files is inline and the Section 12 Block Library points to a file tree (skills/taste-skill/blocks/) that does not exist - matching anchor 3.

Specificity

Capabilities are named ("Anti-slop frontend rules for landing pages, portfolios, and redesigns", "audit-first redesigns and a strict pre-flight check", "with real design systems when applicable") but as abstract noun phrases rather than concrete actions, and the first two sentences are versioning metadata that contributes nothing to capability description. This matches anchor 3 (domain plus 1-2 concrete actions, not comprehensive) better than anchor 4, whose examples use explicit action verbs; it is clearly above anchor 2 because the domain is precisely named and multiple capabilities are listed.

Completeness

The "what" is clear (anti-slop frontend rules with design systems, audit-first redesigns, pre-flight check) and an explicit use-condition exists ("Use this install name only if you need the earlier behavior"), so the missing-trigger cap of 3 does not apply. However, the explicit "when" addresses variant selection, not when the design capability applies (no "use when the user asks for a landing page or redesign" clause), fitting anchor 4 (both present, when could be more explicit) rather than anchor 5.

Trigger Term Quality

Natural user-facing terms are present: "landing pages, portfolios, and redesigns", "frontend", "design systems". Missing common variations a user might say ("website", "marketing site", "homepage", "UI design"), which matches anchor 4 (good keyword coverage, a few natural terms missing) rather than anchor 5's comprehensive synonym coverage.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The description actively disambiguates from its sibling ("The current default is `design-taste-frontend` (v2). Use this install name only if you need the earlier behavior.") and scopes a clear niche (landing pages, portfolios, redesigns). Minor overlap risk remains with other general frontend-design skills, matching anchor 4 rather than anchor 5's minimal-conflict example.
