Conciseness

The body is mostly efficient (tables, tight examples), but the 'Regex Basics' section ('\s whitespace, \d digit', '+ one or more') explains regex concepts Claude already knows, and the 'Quick Reference' minimal example duplicates the 'Basic Structure' example. This fits 'mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation'; it is not a 4 because a full section of known-concept padding is more than a minor instance, and not a 2 because the bulk is lean and unpadded.

Actionability

The guidance is fully executable: complete copy-paste-ready rule examples (basic and multi-condition), a frontmatter field table, condition fields enumerated per event, an operator list, a concrete naming/location convention, and an executable test command ('python3 -c "import re; print(re.search(...))"'). This matches the copy-paste-ready anchor covering common cases.

Workflow Clarity

The creation workflow (write rule → test pattern → place file → gitignore) is present across sections with a Testing checkpoint and runtime-behavior details, but the steps are never sequenced as an ordered procedure and there is no feedback loop for verifying a rule actually loads and triggers. This fits 'clear sequence with most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps' rather than the 5 anchor's explicit validation steps and error-recovery loops.

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist, and the single SKILL.md is well organized with clear section headers, a quick-reference example, and a pointer to '/hookify-help' for full documentation. The only misplaced content is the generic regex tutorial, which belongs in a reference file (or nowhere) — 'most content is appropriately placed' with minor organization gaps, just short of the well-split, easy-navigation 5 anchor.

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete actions — 'Create and configure hookify rules', matching 'bash, file, prompt, or stop events by regex or conditions', and showing 'warn/block messages' — with comprehensive coverage of the skill's capabilities. It matches the anchor for multiple specific concrete actions; no coverage gaps justify a 4.

Completeness

It explicitly answers both what the skill does (create/configure hookify rules that match events by regex or conditions and show warn/block messages) and when to use it via an explicit 'Use when…' clause with concrete trigger phrases. This matches the anchor for clearly and explicitly answering both; the 4 anchor's weaker 'when could be more explicit' does not apply.

Trigger Term Quality

'Use when creating a hookify rule, writing hook rule syntax, configuring hookify, or adding pattern guardrails such as blocking dangerous commands, .env edits, or debug code' covers the natural phrases a user would say, including concrete example triggers. Nothing common is missing, so it fits the comprehensive-coverage anchor rather than the 4 anchor's 'a few natural terms missing'.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The description targets a clear niche — hookify rules specifically — with distinct triggers ('hookify rule', 'hook rule syntax', 'pattern guardrails'), so it is unlikely to fire for the wrong skill. It matches the clear-niche/minimal-conflict anchor.
