Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence: no padding about what TanStack Table is, tight Setup/Core Patterns/Common Mistakes sections, and version numbers are kept in frontmatter rather than the body, so every token earns its place.

Actionability

Copy-paste ready code blocks for setup, options, and three Wrong/Correct mistake patterns plus concrete node_modules paths make the guidance fully executable and cover the common cases (client setup, eligibility, manual server filtering).

Workflow Clarity

The setup-to-options sequence is clear and the Common Mistakes act as guardrails, but the content is reference-style rather than an explicitly numbered workflow with validation checkpoints; no destructive or batch operation requires validation, so it stays just above the simple-skill midpoint.

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is a focused, well-sectioned single-purpose reference under ~50 lines with no bundle files and no nested references, meeting the simple-skill exception for well-organized sections scoring 5.

Specificity

Names the domain and concrete actions ("Apply globalFilter across eligible columns", "manual server filtering") alongside a comprehensive list of specific APIs (globalFilteringFeature, columnFilteringFeature, filteredRowModel, globalFilterFn), but only two distinct actions are described, leaving minor coverage gaps versus a fully comprehensive action list.

Completeness

It explicitly answers both what ("Apply globalFilter across eligible columns with ...") and when ("Load when columns unexpectedly participate or a global filter changes state without changing rows") with concrete trigger phrases, matching the top anchor.

Trigger Term Quality

The trigger "Load when columns unexpectedly participate or a global filter changes state without changing rows" uses natural diagnostic phrasing a developer would say, with good keyword coverage ("global filter", "columns participate", "changes state without changing rows"), though a few common synonyms are missing.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The global-filter niche and its diagnostic triggers are distinct, but the skill explicitly reuses the column-filtering pipeline and lists column-filtering as a prerequisite, creating minor overlap risk with the closely related column-filtering skill.
