Conciseness

The body is dense, imperative, and assumes competence ("The current Worker is the scheduler: submit ready nodes, wait for their replies, call workflow_update with done steps") with no padding or explanations of known concepts. It misses the 5 anchor due to the ~90-line DAG JSON example and some repetition (cleanup appears in lifecycle step 11 and again under Rules).

Actionability

Fully executable guidance: two complete workflow_run JSON payloads (flat subagents and DAG nodes with dependsOn), exact shared-directory paths, and concrete tool names (list_subagents, create_temp_agent, workflow_update, delete_temp_agent, cleanup_shared). This matches the 5 anchor's copy-paste-ready coverage of the common cases.

Workflow Clarity

The 13-step lifecycle is clearly sequenced with explicit feedback loops for this batch multi-agent operation: inspect every workflow_update response for readyInstructions, retry a timed-out subagent once, mark still-failing subagents in the merged result, and treat cleanup as a finally step. Validation checkpoints are explicit, matching the 5 anchor.

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and the skill is self-contained with well-signaled, clearly headed sections, matching the 4 anchor (good structure, most content appropriately placed, minor gaps). It is not 5 because the skill exceeds 50 lines with no external references, and long material such as the DAG nodes example and file-sharing rules could be split into reference files; it is not 3 because nothing is buried and navigation is easy.

Specificity

The description names three concrete decision paths ("do work directly", "use native subagents for internal parallelism", "create a temporary QwenPaw agent with a custom AGENTS.md and skills") with only minor gaps. It falls short of the 5 anchor because downstream lifecycle actions (merging results, cleanup, workflow visibility) are not covered.

Completeness

It explicitly answers both what (choose among three delegation paths) and when ("Use when a QwenPaw-backed Worker needs to decide whether to...") with concrete trigger phrasing. This matches the 5 anchor; the 4 anchor would apply only if the when-clause were weaker or less specific.

Trigger Term Quality

Relevant domain keywords are present ("subagents", "internal parallelism", "temporary agent", "AGENTS.md") but they are heavily jargon-bound to the internal system and miss natural variations or synonyms a user might say. It is above the 2 anchor because the terms are domain-real rather than generic, but below 4 because no common phrasings (e.g. fan out, delegate, split work) are included.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is clear and narrowly scoped (QwenPaw-backed Worker deciding internal parallelization) with distinct triggers, so conflict with other skills is minimal. It is not 4 because the scoping to intra-Worker work already excludes the closest competing domain (team delegation).
