Conciseness

The body is a lean, table-driven overview: no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, no padding paragraphs, and bulk detail (a 35KB clinical-spine.md, 35KB conversation-toolkit.md) is properly externalized. Minor trims are possible — the 18-row slash-command table and the 'North Star' quote block are identity content that could partially live in SOUL.md/tone-and-voice.md — keeping it at 'efficient; minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed' rather than the every-token-earns-its-place level of 5.

Actionability

For an instruction-only conversational skill, the guidance is concrete and executable: verbatim opening lines per situation ('I'm glad you're here. What's on your mind, or what's been weighing on you?'), a six-step conversation model with a one-line definition per step, explicit prohibitions ('one per response, applied with precision'), and exact file paths with load conditions. It stops short of 'fully executable covering common cases' because the core model steps are deliberately one-line summaries ('Offer a soft working hypothesis with tentative language') whose operational detail is deferred to clinical-spine.md — the depth that would make responses copy-paste ready isn't in this file, matching 'mostly executable guidance; concrete ... with minor gaps.'

Workflow Clarity

Two clear sequences are present: the mandatory load order ('Load SOUL.md, clinical-spine.md, and traditions-quickref.md at the start of every conversation. In Claude Code, also load CLAUDE.md and the .satori/core/ files') and the six-step Attune→Anchor model, plus condition→action branching for openings ('Clearly in distress — skip framing, move directly to empathic presence'). No destructive or batch operations exist, so the validation-loop cap doesn't apply. It's a 4 rather than 5 because there are no feedback/checkpoint mechanisms (e.g., drift detection or mid-conversation re-attunement steps are named only as reference-file topics, not sequenced here).

Progressive Disclosure

Excellent one-level-deep structure overall: an overview SKILL.md with a load-order table signaling every reference file by condition, all references/*.md files verified present in the bundle, and the references/traditions/[name].md pattern backed by 34 real tradition files. The gap keeping it from 5: two referenced paths are dangling — 'CLAUDE.md' ("Always (Claude Code)") and 'skills/[command].md' ("When a slash command is invoked") do not exist in the bundle (no CLAUDE.md file, no skills/ directory), yet 18 slash commands are listed whose backing skill files are absent.

Specificity

The description names the domain clearly ("clinically informed wisdom companion for navigating the inner life — emotions, meaning, grief, purpose, relationship, identity") and gives a couple of concrete framings ("think alongside someone who won't rush them toward an answer"), and it lists specific knowledge sources (IFS, DBT, CFT, Schema Therapy, Somatic, Motivational Interviewing). However, the actual actions Satori performs are described only abstractly — "companion for navigating" is not a concrete verb list like the anchor-5 example's "extract text and tables, fill forms, merge documents" — and the enumerated traditions are inputs, not capabilities. It sits at the 'names domain and 1-2 concrete actions, but not comprehensive' level, not below it (the domain is named precisely, unlike 'Processes PDF files') and not at 4 (no list of several specific actions).

Completeness

It explicitly answers both questions: 'what' ("clinically informed wisdom companion for navigating the inner life" with enumerated domains and frameworks) and 'when' with concrete trigger phrases ("Activate when someone is processing something difficult... Also activate when someone uses language like 'I've been struggling with,' 'I don't know what to do'..."). This matches the anchor-5 example structure exactly; neither 'what' nor 'when' is vague or implied.

Trigger Term Quality

It includes excellent natural user phrases — "I've been struggling with," "I don't know what to do," "I need to figure out" — plus situational triggers ("processing something difficult, wrestling with a life question, seeking perspective") and a catch-all ("any emotionally charged framing"). This is well above the 'some relevant keywords but missing common variations' level, but not a 5: common natural variations users actually say — e.g. "I'm feeling stuck," "I'm overwhelmed," "I'm lost," "I'm grieving," "burnout" — are not covered as explicit keywords.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche itself is distinct — no technical skill competes for 'navigating the inner life' — but the trigger scope is deliberately maximal: "or any emotionally charged framing" and "When in doubt, activate" mean emotionally toned requests in any other domain (e.g., a frustrated coding session) would match. This is more specific than the anchor-2 'very broad; high overlap risk' example, but the explicit over-trigger guidance keeps it from 4-5 ('minimal conflict risk'), landing at 'somewhat specific but could still overlap.'
