Conciseness

The body is dense and operation-specific — CLI subcommands, refusal rules, the plan-file schema — with essentially no explanation of concepts Claude already knows. Not 5: the 'never do the work yourself / never bill without a preview' rule is restated across the preamble, §4, and §5 ('Never redo a failed item yourself in this session') and could be consolidated; not 3 because the trimming opportunity is minor.

Actionability

Every step ships exact, copy-paste-ready commands — '"${QWEN_CODE_CLI:-qwen}" batch check', 'batch run .qwen/batch/plans/<slug>.json --dry-run', 'run ... --expect <digest>', 'collect <task-id> --wait' — plus a complete JSON plan template with field-level rules. Not 4: no gaps; the placeholders (<slug>, <task-id>) are the only variables and are defined inline.

Workflow Clarity

§0–§5 give a clear sequence with explicit validation checkpoints for a billed batch operation: an unbilled readiness check, an unbilled dry-run preview, digest pinning via '--expect', and two feedback loops (preview mismatch → re-preview and reshow; plan-field error → fix once and preview again). Not 4: validation is not merely present but woven into every spending decision, matching the validate→fix→retry anchor.

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are all absent) and the single SKILL.md is well organized into numbered sections with no nested or dangling references, so navigation is trivial. Not 5: at roughly 190 lines the plan-file schema and its field rules are all inline where a reference file could hold the detail; not 3 because structure is clear and nothing is buried.

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete actions — 'Prepare a many-file, single-turn transform (translate, rewrite, extract) as a plan', 'submit it to the asynchronous, half-price DashScope Batch API', 'results are delivered as new files hours later' — with comprehensive coverage of the skill's capability. Not 4: there are no meaningful coverage gaps for this niche; not below 5 because every listed action is concrete and specific.

Completeness

Has a clear 'what' (plan-and-submit workflow for the Batch API with file delivery) and explicit trigger guidance ('Invoke explicitly with /batch-api'), which satisfies the equivalent-trigger clause so the cap at 3 does not apply. Not 5: the 'when' states how to invoke rather than when this skill is the right choice (e.g., 'use when you need to transform many files and can wait hours for half price').

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural keyword coverage — 'translate, rewrite, extract', 'asynchronous', 'half-price', 'batch', 'plan' — plus the explicit '/batch-api' invocation cue. Not 5: common user phrasings like 'bulk', 'in bulk', or 'convert' are absent; clearly above 3 because the core terms users would say when needing this skill are present.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

'DashScope Batch API' and 'Invoke explicitly with /batch-api' carve out a clear niche with distinct triggers and minimal overlap risk with general transform or file skills. Not 4: the provider-specific naming plus explicit-only invocation leaves no meaningful overlap with related skills.
