Conciseness

The body is dense and mostly assumes competence (exit-code tables, command blocks, terse rules), but there is some redundancy that could be trimmed: "no insight is asserted from a single participant (anecdote, not insight)" reappears in Anti-patterns ("promote a single-participant anecdote to insight"), as does "DORMANT escalates by name" / "escalate to the product lead by name", and the six-entry forcing-question library with full canon citations is verbose for inline placement. This sits between level 4 (efficient, minor instances that could be trimmed) and level 5 (every token earns its place) — noticeably above the midpoint but not flawless, so 4.

Actionability

Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands with arguments and interpreted exit codes: `python3 scripts/product_goal_router.py --text "<the goal>" --output json` (exit 0/2/3 behaviors spelled out), `python3 scripts/discovery_cadence_tracker.py --input discovery_log.json` (exit 5 refusal), `python3 scripts/ost_linter.py --input ost.json` (exit 2 = NEEDS-REWORK), and the full goal_compiler invocation with --manifest and --out. This matches level 5 (fully executable commands covering the common cases); level 4 would require missing key details, and even log shapes are surfaced via "every tool ships --sample" and the assets sample path.

Workflow Clarity

Both multi-step processes have clear sequences with machine-checkable validation gates and feedback loops: routing branches on exit codes (0 → load skill, 2 → ask one clarifying question, 3 → restate, "Never guess silently"), and the discovery loop is five numbered steps with lint-before-cite enforcement ("exit 2 = NEEDS-REWORK, fix before citing the tree"), explicit stop states, and named escalation. This matches level 5 (clear sequence, explicit validation steps, feedback loops, checklists).

Progressive Disclosure

Structure is good: three clearly signaled one-level-deep references in a References section (continuous_discovery_canon.md, product_operating_model.md, ai_product_evals.md) plus inline pointers to scripts and an assets sample, and the When-to-invoke table delegates detail to the sub-skills. However, no bundle files (references/, scripts/, assets/) are present in the skill directory, so the referenced paths cannot be verified, and substantial content (the forcing-question library with citations, the full hard-rules detail) is inlined where an orchestrator overview could push it one level down — matching level 4 (good structure, references mostly clear, minor organization gaps) rather than level 5.

Specificity

The description enumerates multiple concrete actions — "Forks context to route to one sub-skill via a deterministic signal router and returns a digest", "drive a continuous-discovery loop (Torres cadence tracker + OST linter as machine gates)", "a full goal→plan→execute→verify→close run through the repo-wide agent-harness" — and names all 16 coordinated skills. This matches the level-5 anchor (multiple specific concrete actions, comprehensive coverage); level 4 would require a noticeable coverage gap, and none exists.

Completeness

Both questions are explicitly answered: what ("coordinating product work across the 12 bundled product sub-skills ... route to one sub-skill via a deterministic signal router and returns a digest") and when ("Use when coordinating product work across ..." plus five concrete trigger phrases). This matches level 5 (clear, explicit what AND when with concrete trigger phrases); the cap of 3 for a missing 'Use when' clause does not apply.

Trigger Term Quality

It quotes natural user phrasings — "'help me prioritize'", "'plan a product experiment'", "'we ship features nobody uses'", "'run the discovery loop'", "'is our OST sound'" — on top of a near-exhaustive domain keyword list (RICE, OKRs, UX research, design tokens, competitive teardown, analytics, experiments, discovery, roadmaps, spec-to-repo, landing pages, SaaS scaffolding). This is comprehensive coverage of natural terms with synonyms, matching level 5; level 4 requires a few natural terms to be missing, and the quoted triggers plus keyword list cover the domain's vocabulary.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche (product-domain orchestrator and router) is stated with explicit demarcation from adjacent skills: "Distinct from project-management (how to deliver vs what to build), marketing/landing (from-scratch pages), and engineering/agent-harness (the generic loop engine this orchestrator plugs into)". Overlap with its own 16 sub-skills is by design (routing to them is the skill's purpose), so conflict risk is minimal — matching level 5.
