Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes competence — it never explains what a policy or jurisdiction is, and every section (scope questions, variance table, templates, checklist) earns its place — matching the score-3 'every token earns its place' anchor; the dense matter-context paragraph is operationally necessary rather than padding.

Actionability

It gives concrete executable guidance — explicit paths to load, a jurisdictional-variance lookup table, a fill-in supplement template, and a complete output template — with no vague 'process as needed' direction; per the instruction-only scoring note, the absence of code is not penalized because the guidance is actionable.

Workflow Clarity

A clear five-step sequence (Scope → Jurisdictional scan → Draft core → State supplements → Cross-check) with an explicit validation checkpoint in Step 5 (conflicts, over-promising, inadvertent contract) plus a 'remove before insertion' note and attorney-review handoff, providing the feedback loop the score-3 anchor requires.

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist, and the single-file skill is a well-organized overview with clearly delineated sections and a one-level handoff pointer to another skill, satisfying the 'well-organized sections' basis for a self-contained skill with no nested references.

Specificity

Concrete actions are named — 'Draft an employment policy with state supplements where law differs across the jurisdictional footprint' — listing multiple specific actions (drafting core policy, generating state supplements, handling jurisdictional variance), matching the score-3 anchor rather than the score-2 partial-action anchor.

Completeness

It explicitly states both what (draft policy plus state supplements) and when ('Use when the user says...'), with an explicit 'Use when...' clause, satisfying the score-3 anchor and clearing the completeness cap.

Trigger Term Quality

Triggers quoted are natural user phrasings — "draft a [topic] policy", "we need a policy on", "update our [topic] policy", "names a policy gap" — covering common variations a user would actually say, matching the good-coverage score-3 anchor.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is specific — employment policy drafting with jurisdictional supplements — and its triggers are tied to that domain, making it unlikely to fire for unrelated skills, matching the score-3 'clear niche with distinct triggers' anchor.
