Conciseness

Mostly efficient, imperative, and project-specific (no explaining of concepts Claude already knows), but the never-implement rule is stated three times — "The team lead NEVER implements", "not to implement" (Delegation opener), "you coordinate, you don't implement" (Error Recovery) — and the Cardinal Rule temptations list ("A file conflict needs resolution — don't touch the file", "An error cascades...") duplicates the Error Recovery section nearly bullet-for-bullet, as does "Monitor, don't intervene" vs "Slow teammate". More than minor trimming opportunity, but far from padded — fits the 3 anchor ('could be tightened') rather than 2 ('several padded sections').

Actionability

Concrete, executable guidance throughout: exact call syntax ("Task(subagent_type=<agent>, prompt=\"...\")", "Multiple `Task(..., run_in_background=true)` calls", "`TeamCreate` then `Task(..., team_name, name)`", "`addBlockedBy` dependencies", "Send `shutdown_request` to each teammate", "Call `TeamDelete`"), a copy-paste delegation message ("Implement the plugin system per the federation/plugin-system FEATURE. Reference architecture/ for context."), a worked good/bad task-description pair ("Verify all sitemap URLs return HTTP 200 and report any failures"), and a scenario-to-agents composition table. As an instruction-only skill, absence of code is not penalized; the guidance is directly executable and covers the common cases — matches the 5 anchor.

Workflow Clarity

Spawn order is a numbered 1-6 sequence with explicit entry/exit points ("A bug fix starts at step 3. A research question stops at step 1"), the Constructor Studio flow includes a review gate ("2. Team lead reviews and approves the design"), and validation is mandatory with feedback loops — "Once implementation is complete, invoke the `qa` agent... Route blockers back to the developer", "Once QA passes, have an architect review... Route findings back to the developer", plus error-recovery loops (cascade: "Stop the chain, route the fix to the agent who owns the source, then reassess downstream tasks") and a shutdown checklist. Matches the 5 anchor: explicit validation steps, error-recovery feedback loops, checklists.

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist (no references/, scripts/, or assets/), and the one external pointer — "Consult [architecture/DESIGN.md](../../../architecture/DESIGN.md)" — is clearly signaled at the top and one level deep. Sections are well organized with navigation-friendly tables (file ownership, subagent vs teammate, typical compositions). Not a 5: at ~180 lines, blocks like the six per-agent spawn criteria and the typical-compositions table are inline reference material that could be split out, and the 5 anchor ('content appropriately split') plus the under-50-lines exception don't apply; comfortably above the 3 anchor since nothing here is API-reference-style content that clearly belongs in a separate file.

Specificity

"Guides delegation, task decomposition, agent selection, and coordination" names four concrete capabilities, and "Covers when to spawn architect (design decisions, trade-offs), researcher (explorations, technical investigation), developer (FEATURE specs and code)..." enumerates per-agent coverage. Not a 3 ('1-2 concrete actions') since it lists several specific actions; not quite a 5 because the verbs are guidance-level ('Guides', 'Covers') and body-level capabilities like error recovery and shutdown are omitted — minor gaps in coverage.

Completeness

What: "Guides delegation, task decomposition, agent selection, and coordination" with enumerated per-agent coverage. When: "Use this skill whenever delegating work to subagents" and an explicit trigger clause — "Trigger on any subagent spawn, team creation, multi-agent coordination, or parallel work request." Both what and when are explicit with concrete trigger phrases; a missing 'Use when' clause would cap at 3, but two explicit trigger statements are present. Voice is third-person/declarative ('Guides', 'Covers', 'Trigger on').

Trigger Term Quality

Triggers read as natural user phrasing: "delegating work to subagents", "subagent spawn", "team creation", "multi-agent coordination", "parallel work request", plus tool names ("a single Task call", "TeamCreate") and all six role names. Synonym coverage (delegating/spawn/team/parallel/coordinate) is comprehensive for the domain, matching the anchor-5 pattern of including variations; no common phrasing a user would naturally say is missing.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche — multi-agent delegation/orchestration — with triggers ("subagent spawn", "team creation", "multi-agent coordination") that are unlikely to fire for a non-delegation skill. The role names (architect, researcher) appear only as objects of spawn guidance, not as standalone triggers, so overlap risk with single-role skills is minimal; fits the anchor-5 'clear niche with distinct triggers' better than the 4 anchor's 'minor overlap risk'.
