Lean body with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows; every section (Overview, Steps, Expected Outcomes, Validation) earns its place without padding.

Provides concrete, copy-paste-ready guidance including scripted phrasing such as 'The leader who made their state powerful has been dismissed and is resentful' and 'If they join you, they bring all their state's secrets and influence' — actionable for an instruction-only skill.

Five clearly sequenced steps plus a dedicated Validation section with three explicit verification checkpoints; no error-recovery loop is required since this is not a destructive or batch operation.

Under 50 lines with well-organized sections and no need for external references, satisfying the simple-skill exception where progressive disclosure scores 3 on organization alone.

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'restoring a dismissed official to power', 'approaching rival powers with the dismissed leader's value', and 'returns to the original state with evidence of the rival's recruitment attempt to force restoration' — rather than vague abstractions.

Explicitly answers both what it does (creates urgency, returns with evidence to force restoration) and when to use it ('Use when restoring a dismissed official to power or leveraging rival factions for political rehabilitation').

The 'Use when' clause surfaces relevant terms ('political rehabilitation', 'restoring a dismissed official', 'leveraging rival factions') but coverage is narrow with no common variations, matching the 'some relevant keywords but missing common variations' anchor.

Occupies a highly specific niche — political rehabilitation via rival-power competition — with triggers unlikely to overlap with other skills.
