Conciseness

The body is dense and assumes Claude's competence — no generic-concept explanations — with mostly short sections, bullet lists, and a compact output template. Minor trimmable padding exists: the "Why Preserved Dissent" essay and the "Stale-Decision Audit" section describing another agent's weekly job rather than this command's instructions, which keeps it below anchor 5.

Actionability

The workflow gives concrete, executable guidance — exact paths like "~/.claude/decisions/approved/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md", enumerated record fields, and a complete copy-paste-ready output template. Not 5 because two steps lack any mechanism: "Update the raw transcript pointer" and "Schedule auto-revisit (90 days)" leave Claude guessing how to perform them.

Workflow Clarity

A clear 7-step numbered sequence with one explicit validation gate ("Verify it has founder approval (status: APPROVED)"). Not 5 because there is no error-recovery path — nothing says what to do when the memo is not APPROVED or malformed — leaving the feedback loop implicit.

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized single-file overview with clear sections, and a "Related" list signaling one-level-deep references (decision-logger skill, cs-chief-of-staff agent, llm-wiki bridge). No bundle files exist to offload content into, and the inline output template is core to the command, so structure is appropriate; not 5 because the referenced paths (e.g. ../../references/llm-wiki-bridge.md) point outside the skill directory and cannot be verified as navigable.

Specificity

"Log a decision to two-layer memory via decision-logger" names the domain and one concrete action, and "Approved memo becomes durable; raw transcripts kept for reference" describes outcomes rather than additional actions. This matches anchor 3 (domain plus 1-2 concrete actions) rather than 4, since it does not list several distinct specific actions.

Completeness

Explicitly answers both: what ("Log a decision to two-layer memory via decision-logger. Approved memo becomes durable; raw transcripts kept for reference") and when ("Use when the founder has approved a boardroom memo and the decision must become durable company memory — e.g. right after /cs:boardroom concludes"). A concrete 'Use when' clause with a specific trigger matches the anchor 5 example exactly.

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural keyword coverage — "decision", "approved", "boardroom memo", "founder", "/cs:boardroom" — phrases a user of this command ecosystem would actually say. Not 5 because synonyms like "record the decision" or "decision log" are missing; not 3 because coverage goes beyond a single generic keyword.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche — logging founder-approved boardroom decisions into a two-layer memory — with triggers tied to a specific pipeline ("right after /cs:boardroom concludes"). Minimal overlap risk with other skills; not lower because no generic language like "helps with decisions" appears.
