Conciseness

Mostly efficient instructional prose with no padding about what board meetings are, matching anchor 3's 'mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary explanation'; sections like 'The Reality of Board Meetings' and the near-verbatim restatement of the description are motivational framing Claude could infer, and the rhetorical phrasing ('They know when you're not being straight with them') is more than minor, keeping it below 4.

Actionability

Provides highly specific, executable guidance for an instruction-only skill — an exact list of numbers to know cold, quoted adversarial questions by topic, a named 5-part narrative structure, a 5-sentence pre-meeting email template, and director archetypes with their concerns — matching anchor 4's 'mostly executable guidance... with minor gaps'; it stops short of 5 because no fully worked example (e.g., a complete narrative or finished email) is included.

Workflow Clarity

A clear 5-phase sequence (Numbers Cold through Director-by-Director) with explicit validation and a feedback loop (the mock meeting: 'note every question that made you pause... The questions that made you defensive = the questions you need to prepare for'), plus 48h/day-of/during/after checklists, matching anchor 5's 'clear sequence with explicit validation steps; feedback loops; checklists'; operations are non-destructive so the cap-3 rule does not apply.

Progressive Disclosure

A single self-contained file (no bundle files, no nested references) with clean section headers and content appropriately scoped inline for a prep skill; the rubric's simple-skill exception permits a 5 for a well-organized self-contained skill with no external references, matching anchor 5's 'clear overview... easy navigation'.

Specificity

Names the domain plus three concrete actions ('forces numbers-cold mastery, anticipates hard questions, builds a narrative that acknowledges weakness without losing the room'), matching anchor 4's 'several specific actions; minor gaps', but the rubric's voice penalty applies because the description uses second person ('Use when preparing...', 'must live in your head') rather than third person, reducing the score by 1.

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Board meeting preparation... forces numbers-cold mastery, anticipates hard questions, builds a narrative') and when ('Use when preparing for a board meeting, an investor update, fundraising presentation, or any high-stakes adversarial review'), with concrete trigger phrases, matching the anchor 5 example directly.

Trigger Term Quality

Good coverage of natural phrases a user would say ('board meeting', 'investor update', 'fundraising presentation', 'high-stakes adversarial review'), matching anchor 4's 'good keyword coverage; a few natural terms missing' — shorthand like 'board prep' or 'pitch deck' are absent, keeping it below 5.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The adversarial framing ('for the adversarial scenario, not the friendly one') carves a clear niche distinct from general pitch or presentation skills, matching anchor 5's 'clear niche with distinct triggers; minimal conflict risk'; only minor conceptual overlap with generic fundraising-presentation skills.
