Conciseness

The body is dense and table-driven with no tutorials on concepts Claude already knows, but a few sections could be trimmed — the canon citations in the forcing-question library ('Canon: Tufte Cognitive Style of PowerPoint') and the 'Distinct from' prose explaining Keynote/PowerPoint. Not 5 because some tokens restate the description and reference rationale that could be cut; above 3 because no section teaches known concepts.

Actionability

Fully executable guidance: the three-step pipeline gives complete copy-paste commands ('python3 markdown-html/skills/md-slides/scripts/slide_splitter.py --input <path>.md --output /tmp/slides.json'), plus exact key bindings, exit codes (5/6/7), and a concrete output artifact pattern with collision suffixing. This matches the anchor for copy-paste-ready commands covering the common cases.

Workflow Clarity

The pipeline is clearly sequenced (numbered steps, ASCII diagram) with validation encoded as refusal exit codes and routing fallbacks ('Otherwise exit 6 — route to md-document'), but there is no explicit post-render verification step (e.g., confirm slide count in deck.html) and no instruction for handling a mid-pipeline failure. Fits anchor 4 — clear sequence with most checkpoints present, minor validation gaps.

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a concise overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references — 'See references/ for full citations (presentation_ux, keyboard_nav_patterns, single_file_deck_conventions)' — and all three files exist, are substantive (72–85 lines), and contain no nested pointers; scripts and the HTML template are correctly kept out of the body. Matches the clear-overview anchor exactly.

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete actions with comprehensive coverage — 'Converts a markdown deck ... into a single-file HTML presentation with arrow-key / space / PgDn / PgUp / Home / End / P / Esc keyboard navigation, presenter mode (split view with current slide + speaker notes + clock + next-slide preview), URL-hash deep linking, and @media print page-per-slide for PDF export' — covering input formats, output features, and refusal behaviors in third person. It is not 4 because there are no meaningful coverage gaps in the action list.

Completeness

Both questions are explicitly answered: the 'what' is the full conversion capability list, and the 'when' is concrete — 'Triggers when the markdown-html-orchestrator classifies an input as SLIDES, or when invoked directly via /cs-md-slides ... Use after orchestrator routing.' Not 4 because the 'when' is explicit and concrete rather than weakly implied.

Trigger Term Quality

Natural terms like 'slides', 'deck', 'presentation', 'presenter notes', and 'PDF export' are present, but the trigger guidance leans on internal routing ('Triggers when the markdown-html-orchestrator classifies an input as SLIDES, or when invoked directly via /cs-md-slides') rather than user-spoken phrases, and lacks synonyms like 'slideshow' or 'talk' and file extensions. It exceeds 3 (keyword coverage is good, not partial) but falls short of 5 (not comprehensive natural-term coverage).

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It carves a clear deck-conversion niche with explicit refusal boundaries ('Refuses if input has no clear slide boundaries, produces a 1-slide deck, or --strict-notes is on with under 50% notes coverage') that separate it from md-document and similar converters. Not 4 because the refusal conditions and routing rules make overlap risk minimal.
