Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence (paths, commands, and templates with no concept explanations), but includes trimmable padding: a "Keywords" section that duplicates the frontmatter description's trigger terms and an intro sentence that restates the description. Not 5 because those sections spend tokens without adding guidance; not 3 because there is no over-explanation of things Claude already knows.

Actionability

Fully executable throughout: six copy-paste Quick Start commands, a Commands table, exact storage paths, a complete decision-entry markdown template, and exact conflict-alert/block message formats. The documented CLI flags (--demo, --summary, --overdue, --conflicts, --owner, --search) were verified to exist in the bundled scripts/decision_tracker.py.

Workflow Clarity

The "Logging Workflow (Post Phase 5)" is a clear 6-step sequence with an explicit validation checkpoint ("Check conflicts against ~/.claude/decisions/approved/decisions.md"), a feedback loop ("Surface conflicts → wait for founder resolution" with three enumerated resolution options), and a final confirmation step. Operations are append-only rather than destructive, so no missing-validation cap applies.

Progressive Disclosure

Sections are well-organized and references are clearly signaled one level deep, but scoring against the actual bundle shows the References section points to "templates/decision-entry.md", which does not exist in the bundle (no templates/ directory), and the body's pointer to "../agent-protocol/SKILL.md" is unresolvable from this skill. Only scripts/decision_tracker.py is present. Not 4 because a broken referenced path is more than a minor organization gap; not 2 because the structure and signaling are otherwise good.

Specificity

Quotes several concrete actions — "Manages raw transcripts (Layer 1) and approved decisions (Layer 2)", "logging decisions after a board meeting", "reviewing past decisions", "checking overdue action items" — but coverage has minor gaps (conflict detection and DO_NOT_RESURFACE enforcement, core features per the body, are not mentioned). Not 3 because it lists more than 1-2 concrete actions; not 5 because coverage is not comprehensive.

Completeness

Explicitly answers both: what ("Two-layer memory architecture for board meeting decisions. Manages raw transcripts (Layer 1) and approved decisions (Layer 2)") and when ("Use when logging decisions after a board meeting, reviewing past decisions with /decision-logger decisions, or checking overdue action items with /decision-logger review"). The 'when' clause is explicit with concrete trigger phrases, matching the 5 anchor; a 4 would require the 'when' to be less specific.

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural keyword coverage: "board meeting", "logging decisions", "overdue action items", "approved decisions", plus the explicit commands "/decision-logger decisions" and "/decision-logger review". Not 5 because common synonyms users might say ("board minutes", "follow-ups", "decision log") are missing.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche (board-meeting decision memory) with distinct triggers including skill-specific slash commands and "Invoked automatically by the board-meeting skill after Phase 5 founder approval", which further scopes it. Minimal conflict risk with other skills; not 4 because the triggers are unambiguous rather than having minor overlap.
