Conciseness

The forest-root/.workforest.yaml definition is restated four times across 'Detecting a forest', 'Forest layout', 'Adding and removing trees', and 'Working in a forest', and the cd-to-switch guidance appears twice. This matches anchor 3 ('mostly efficient but could be tightened') rather than anchor 4, where over-explanation would be only minor.

Actionability

Copy-paste-ready commands cover the common cases: the command table gives full syntax, and `git forest add`/`remove` examples show concrete resulting paths, expected printed output, and dirty-refusal behavior, with a sample `git forest list` output. This matches anchor 5 ('fully executable; specific examples cover the common cases').

Workflow Clarity

'When helping users in a forest' sequences the helper workflow (list to understand layout, prefer add over checkout, remind to cd), and the destructive `remove` documents its validation behavior ('refuses if dirty', '-f' for uncommitted changes). Minor gaps remain (e.g., no step to verify a tree was created after add), fitting anchor 4 rather than 5.

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized sections with no bundle files and nothing that clearly demands splitting at ~90 lines, though the list-output color-convention detail and the repeated root-definition sections are minor organization gaps. The under-50-line exception to score 5 does not apply to this body length, so anchor 4 fits best.

Specificity

The description names the domain (workforest, git forest commands) and lists command names ('git forest list', 'git forest add', 'git forest remove'), but its only capability statement is the generic 'managing worktrees with workforest' — it sits just above anchor 2's minimal-actions example ('Processes PDF files') without describing what any command actually does.

Completeness

The 'when' is maximally explicit ('This skill should be used when the user asks about...'), but the 'what' is only weakly implied inside the when-clause ('managing worktrees with workforest') rather than stated as a capability. This matches anchor 4 (both present, one could be stronger) and is clearly above anchor 3, which requires a clear 'what' with a missing 'when'.

Trigger Term Quality

Natural, tool-specific trigger phrases ('workforest', 'git forest', 'forest layout', 'how to navigate a forest') match what a user would genuinely say, but a few natural variations (e.g., 'worktrees' alone, 'add a tree') are missing, so it falls short of anchor 5's comprehensive synonym coverage.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche with distinct triggers — the worktree trigger is qualified as 'managing worktrees with workforest', minimizing collision with plain git-worktree skills. Minimal conflict risk, matching anchor 5.
