The body is lean and table-driven (mode table, verdict table, report template) and assumes Claude's competence without explaining what a checklist or pass rate is; every section earns its place.

Gives fully executable guidance: concrete search paths, exact verdict symbols, a pass-rate formula, numeric decision thresholds (>=90%, 70-89%, <70%), and a copy-paste-ready markdown report template.

A clearly sequenced 1–6 workflow with per-item verdict checkpoints, section summaries, and a final APPROVED/NEEDS_WORK/FAIL gate; verification is intrinsic to the task (each item is checked against evidence) and the operation is non-destructive, so the missing retry loop does not warrant a cap.

A single self-contained file with well-organized sections and no nested references; the externally referenced .md files are inputs (checklists to run), not skill-bundle references, so the structure is appropriately flat.

Names the domain ('Generic checklist execution engine for any .md checklist') and several concrete capabilities ('YOLO (autonomous) and interactive modes with pass/fail/partial verdicts'), but the action list is not comprehensive — it stops short of enumerating the distinct actions the way a level-3 example does.

Clearly answers both what ('Generic checklist execution engine... validate work against a checklist') and when via an explicit trigger clause ('Use this skill when an agent needs to validate work against a checklist').

Includes relevant natural terms ('checklist', 'validate work against a checklist') a user might say, but coverage of common variations is thin — no synonyms like 'review', 'verify', 'definition of done', or 'quality gate' that users would naturally invoke.

The 'any .md checklist' framing is a recognizable niche, but the breadth ('any .md checklist', 'validate work') is generic enough that it could overlap with other review/verification skills, so it does not reach the clear-distinct-trigger level.
