Conciseness

Every line is operational or directly clarifies the division of responsibility ('The Cloud server never calls an LLM... You are the stage-2 judge'); there is no explanation of concepts Claude already knows and no padding. Re-reading the 4 anchor, no over-explanation instances could be trimmed, so the 5 anchor fits best.

Actionability

Fully executable throughout: exact commands with exit-code semantics ('--strict --acknowledge-warn exits 0; --strict alone exits 2 on WARN'), an exact copy-paste JSON contract with enumerated verdict and type values, and concrete file paths ('.agentlas/security-scan.json', '<agent-folder>/.agentlas/security-llm-judgment.json').

Workflow Clarity

The two-stage sequence is explicit with validation checkpoints and feedback loops: judge files, write the judgment, re-run the scanner to merge, then gate on the combined verdict with BLOCK/WARN/PASS handling and an approval loop before publish. The destructive/batch cap does not apply since validation and gating are explicitly present.

Progressive Disclosure

A single-file skill with no bundle files; all content (commands, judgment contract, CLI reference, output contract) is needed on every invocation, so inlining is correct. Sections (Stage 1, Stage 2, CLI, Output) are well-organized and easy to navigate with no buried or nested references.

Specificity

Names the domain concretely ('2-stage security scan (static rules + BYOK LLM judgment)') and specific actions/triggers ('run/interpret `hephaestus security scan`', 'before private sync or public publish'). It falls below the 5 anchor because it frames the what as the condition to pass rather than listing the skill's own concrete actions (judging packages, writing the judgment file, gating publish).

Completeness

Has an explicit 'Use when...' clause with two concrete trigger conditions plus a clear what ('pass the Agentlas Cloud 2-stage security scan (static rules + BYOK LLM judgment)'). Below 5 because the what describes the gate the folder must pass rather than explicitly stating what the skill itself does when invoked.

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural terms a user would say: 'security scan', 'run/interpret `hephaestus security scan`', 'private sync or public publish', 'agent folder'. Not a 5 because common variations like 'security review', 'scan results', or 'safe to publish' phrasing are absent.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Product-specific terms ('Agentlas Cloud', 'hephaestus security scan') create a clear niche with distinct triggers and virtually no overlap risk with generic security or publish skills.
