Conciseness

Quick Start, the theme table, and Troubleshooting are dense with genuinely non-obvious operational knowledge, but the Chrome-clip failure story is retold in at least four sections (Backends, "Chrome clips…", the Self-Check checklist, Troubleshooting) and the forensic narrative ("The reason this survived repeated delivery…", calibration counts, dpi measurements) is reference-grade padding. This fits anchor 3 — mostly efficient but noticeably tighten-able — better than anchor 2 because almost none of it explains concepts Claude already knows.

Actionability

Every command is copy-paste ready with exact flags (e.g. "uv run --with weasyprint scripts/md_to_pdf.py input.md --theme warm-terra --backend chrome"), exit codes are spelled out with their meaning ("3 is not a pass"), and verification is concrete (pdfplumber font['fontname'] check, "pandoc input.md -t html | grep colgroup"), fully matching the anchor 5 example of executable guidance covering common cases.

Workflow Clarity

The Visual Self-Check section gives a numbered, mandatory generate-then-verify sequence with explicit validation gates (border check in both forms), feedback loops (fix the markdown and rerun; re-render with the other backend and compare), and batch-specific gating including one paired run per document — matching anchor 5 and satisfying the batch-validation requirement that would otherwise cap the score.

Progressive Disclosure

The two references files (illustrated-manual.md, maintainer-testing.md) are real, well-signaled, and one level deep, but the 250-line body inlines material that clearly belongs in a reference file (clip forensics, backend calibration data, measurement history) and links to themes/*.css paths that are absent from the bundle — fitting anchor 3 ("content that should be separate is inline") more than anchor 4.

Specificity

"Converts Markdown to print-ready PDF with proper Chinese typography, themes and a visual self-check" names the domain plus several concrete capabilities (typography handling, theme system, visual self-check), but omits batch conversion and backend selection, so it has the minor coverage gaps of anchor 4 rather than the comprehensive coverage of anchor 5.

Completeness

The description explicitly answers both questions with concrete triggers — "Converts Markdown to print-ready PDF…" (what) and "Use for Markdown → PDF, including documents formatted for printing or mobile reading" (when) — matching the anchor 5 pattern; the 'when' clause is explicit and concrete, not merely present, so anchor 4 does not fit.

Trigger Term Quality

"Markdown → PDF", "print-ready", "printing", "mobile reading", and "Chinese typography" are phrases a user would naturally say, giving good keyword coverage; it falls short of anchor 5 only in missing file-extension mentions (.pdf) and common synonyms like "make/generate a PDF".

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"Not for Word/WPS files or Word output (use docx-creator)" carves out a clear Markdown-to-PDF niche with explicit disambiguation from the nearest competing skill, giving minimal conflict risk per anchor 5.
