Conciseness

The body is dense, prescriptive, and free of explanations of concepts Claude already knows, but there is noticeable redundancy: the Rules section restates several step-level instructions ('Do not gate the handoff on open questions', 'Read each phase's reference before running that phase') and phrases like 'Do not restate, summarize' and 'Do not print the raw result' recur across sections. This fits 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' rather than the noticeably-padded anchor at 2.

Actionability

For an instruction-only orchestration skill the guidance is highly concrete: exact status values to branch on ('bootstrap_required', 'loaded', 'needs_clarification', 'blocked', 'plan_ready'), exact result fields to render ('id', 'category', 'question', 'why_blocking'), named layouts in references/output.md, and a real command ('sce setup --bootstrap-context'). It is not 5 because the executable specifics of each phase live in the reference files, so the body alone is not copy-paste ready — an intentional but real gap.

Workflow Clarity

Four explicitly sequenced steps with a status-based checkpoint at every branch point, defined gates (bootstrap, clarification, blocked), explicit stop-and-wait semantics, and a full feedback loop in step 4 ('Revise as many times as the user asks', rerun of the Context load phase after bootstrap). This matches the top anchor: clear sequence, explicit validation steps, and feedback loops for error recovery.

Progressive Disclosure

The body holds only the control flow and clearly signals one-level-deep references in a dispatch table and inline ('Read references/context-load.md, then run the Context load phase'); all four referenced files (context-load.md, plan-authoring.md, plan-template.md, output.md) exist in the bundle, and plan-template.md is pointed to at the moment of use rather than preloaded. Splitting the phases, output layouts, and plan template into separate files is appropriate and easy to navigate.

Specificity

The description names one concrete action — 'Turn one change request into a scoped SCE plan' — which matches the anchor for 1-2 concrete actions that are not comprehensive. It stays at 3 rather than 4 because it lists no further capabilities (clarification gates, plan revision, handoff) that the workflow actually performs.

Completeness

The 'what' is clear ('Turn one change request into a scoped SCE plan') but there is no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent trigger guidance anywhere. Per the judging guideline, a missing 'Use when' clause caps completeness at 3, exactly matching the 'clear what, missing when' anchor.

Trigger Term Quality

'change request' and 'plan' are natural terms a user might say, but there are no synonyms or variations ('plan this change', 'scope this work', 'turn this into a plan'). It sits above 2 because the keywords are relevant rather than generic, but below 4 because common natural phrasings are missing.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The 'SCE plan' niche is fairly specific and unlikely to collide with unrelated skills, but without any trigger context it could overlap with other planning or workflow skills. This places it at 'mostly distinct; minor overlap risk' rather than 5.
