Conciseness

The body is efficient with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows, but has minor trims available: [references/analysis-workflow.md] is linked twice in step 3, and the selector-verification rules in step 3's actions are restated nearly verbatim in the separate "Selector Verification Rules" section ("Never guess selectors" appears in both). This matches the level-4 anchor ("Efficient; minor instances of over-explanation that could be trimmed") rather than level 5's every-token-earns-its-place.

Actionability

Guidance is concrete and executable throughout: "Read `Bases/*.base` to find a matching category", "Use **WebFetch** to retrieve page content", "Analyze the HTML for Schema.org JSON, Meta tags, and CSS selectors", with fallbacks (browser DOM snapshot, ask for another URL). The minor gap is the inline JSON example, which is a stub ending in "..." rather than a complete copy-paste-ready template, deferring instead to references and assets — level 4 ("Mostly executable guidance; concrete code or commands with minor gaps"), not level 5's fully executable examples.

Workflow Clarity

The six-step workflow is clearly sequenced (identify intent → check Bases → fetch and analyze → draft JSON → consider logic → verify variables) with explicit validation checkpoints ("Verify each selector against the fetched content. Do not guess selectors") and genuine feedback loops for error recovery ("If a selector cannot be verified from the fetched content, state that explicitly and ask for another URL", plus a dedicated Selector Verification Rules section). This matches the level-5 anchor ("Clear sequence with explicit validation steps; feedback loops for error recovery"); template creation is not a destructive or batch operation, so no cap applies.

Progressive Disclosure

SKILL.md is a lean overview with every topic split into one of six verified reference files (variables, filters, json-schema, logic, bases-workflow, analysis-workflow, each 44-79 lines) plus two example assets, all existing on disk and cross-linked only as siblings — no nested chains. All references are clearly signaled both inline at the relevant workflow step and in the Resources section with one-line descriptions, matching the level-5 anchor ("Clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references; content appropriately split; easy navigation").

Specificity

The description lists several concrete actions — "create a new clipping template", "understand available variables", "format clipped content" — anchored to the Obsidian Web Clipper domain, but coverage has minor gaps (no mention of importable JSON output, Bases mapping, or selector verification). This matches the level-4 anchor ("Lists several specific actions; minor gaps in coverage") better than level 3 (only 1-2 actions) or level 5 (comprehensive coverage).

Completeness

Both parts are explicit: the 'what' is "Guide for creating templates for the Obsidian Web Clipper" and the 'when' is a clear "Use when you want to create a new clipping template, understand available variables, or format clipped content" clause. It falls short of the level-5 anchor because the 'what' is a single generic action rather than multiple concrete capabilities, placing it at level 4 ("both present; could be more explicit or specific") and clearly above level 3 (weak/missing 'when').

Trigger Term Quality

Natural trigger terms are present — "Obsidian Web Clipper", "clipping template", "variables", "format clipped content" — giving good keyword coverage, but common variations like "clip a webpage", "save web pages to Obsidian", or the .json import extension are missing. This fits the level-4 anchor ("Good keyword coverage; a few natural terms missing") rather than level 5's comprehensive synonyms/extensions.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The description occupies a clear niche (Obsidian Web Clipper templates) with distinct triggers like "clipping template" that no other generic skill would claim, matching the level-5 anchor ("Clear niche with distinct triggers; minimal conflict risk"). At worst a general Obsidian note-taking skill overlaps slightly, which would be level 4, but the Clipper-specific trigger terms keep conflict risk minimal.
