Conciseness

Dense imperative control flow with zero concept explanations — every line instructs. Minor trimming is possible: the "do not restate, summarize, or reconstruct" family appears three times (step 1's ready branch, step 1's sync_debt handoff, step 3) and the lifecycle-write instruction is duplicated between step 1's sync_debt branch and step 3. Anchor 4 (efficient, minor over-explanation) fits; not 5 because of that repetition, not 3 because nothing is padded.

Actionability

For an instruction-only orchestration skill the guidance is fully actionable: an explicit input grammar with token-matching rules, a concrete example invocation ("$sce-next-task my-plan T03 approved"), exact branch tables on every status value, and runnable emitted commands like "/next-task {plan-path} {task-id}". Anchor 5's copy-paste-ready specific examples covering the common case is the exact fit.

Workflow Clarity

Four numbered steps each dispatch to a named phase with explicit branch-on-status logic, defined stops, and validation feedback loops ("If that lifecycle write fails, treat the outcome as blocked" plus the unrecognized-token error path). This matches anchor 5: clear sequence, explicit validation, error-recovery loops.

Progressive Disclosure

A step-to-reference table maps each step to a real file in references/ (all verified to exist), one level deep, with explicit read-only-what-you-need guidance ("a run that stops at step 1 never needs the other two"). Control flow stays in the body while phase detail is split into the reference files — anchor 5's clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references.

Specificity

Lists five named actions ("Review, approve, implement, verify, and synchronize") bounded by "one SCE plan task", matching anchor 4's several-specific-actions coverage. It falls short of anchor 5 because the verbs lack objects — what is reviewed or verified is never stated.

Completeness

The "what" is explicit ("Review, approve, implement, verify, and synchronize one SCE plan task") but there is no "Use when..." clause or equivalent trigger guidance, capping completeness at 3 per the judging guidelines. Not anchor 2, because the "what" is clear rather than vague.

Trigger Term Quality

"SCE plan task" supplies the domain keywords "plan" and "task", but the natural phrases a user would actually say ("next task", "continue the plan", "run task T03") are missing and "SCE" is project jargon. This matches anchor 3 — some relevant keywords, missing common variations — rather than anchor 4's good natural-term coverage.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"one SCE plan task" carves a narrow niche, but the generic verb list (review, approve, implement) overlaps with closely related sibling SCE workflow skills referenced in the body. Anchor 4 (mostly distinct, minor overlap risk) fits better than anchor 3, whose example is far broader than this scope.
