Conciseness

The body is mostly lean checklists, concrete thresholds, and copy-paste templates with little explanation of concepts Claude already knows; the 'Overview' paragraph and 'Common Rationalizations' table are minor instances of editorial padding that could be trimmed, matching 'efficient; minor instances of over-explanation'.

Actionability

Provides concrete commands (`git revert <commit> && git push`, `npx prisma migrate rollback`), specific decision thresholds (2x baseline, 50% latency), a rollback-plan template, and runnable code samples; not a 5 because some checklist items remain high-level reminders ('Error handling covers expected failure modes') and the React error-boundary sample is illustrative rather than fully self-contained.

Workflow Clarity

The staged rollout is a clearly numbered 6-step sequence with explicit monitoring windows, an advance/hold/roll-back decision-thresholds table, rollback trigger conditions, and before/after verification checklists — matching 'clear sequence with explicit validation steps; feedback loops for error recovery; checklists'; the validation cap does not apply because verification steps are present throughout.

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into clear sections with a 'See Also' block of well-signaled one-level-deep references (definition-of-done, security/performance/accessibility checklists, observability-and-instrumentation); not a 5 because those references live outside the skill bundle (../../references/) and the body is a fairly long monolithic checklist rather than content split across bundled files.

Specificity

Names the domain ('Prepares production launches') and several concrete actions — pre-launch checklist, monitoring setup, staged rollout planning, rollback strategy — matching the 'lists several specific actions; minor gaps' anchor; not a 5 because it omits concrete launch concerns like canarying and error budgets that appear only in the body.

Completeness

Explicitly states what ('Prepares production launches') and gives concrete 'Use when ...' trigger clauses with multiple specific scenarios, matching the 'clearly and explicitly answers both what AND when with concrete trigger phrases' anchor; the presence of explicit Use-when clauses avoids the missing-trigger cap.

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrases users say ('preparing to deploy to production', 'pre-launch checklist', 'setting up monitoring', 'staged rollout', 'rollback strategy') matching 'good keyword coverage; a few natural terms missing'; not a 5 because synonyms like 'release', 'shipping', or 'go-live' are absent.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The launch-specific framing (checklist, rollout, rollback, monitoring) carves a clear niche distinct from a generic deploy/CI skill, matching 'mostly distinct; minor overlap risk with closely related skills'; not a 5 because a general deployment or SRE skill could still overlap on monitoring/rollback triggers.
