Conciseness

The body is lean and imperative with no concept explanations, but has minor trimmable padding: 'Do not make any further changes' is repeated in Rules and Respond, and the enumerated file layout for vertical plugins (SKILL.md, EVAL.yaml, scripts/, ...) over-explains. This matches anchor 4 ('efficient; minor instances of over-explanation') rather than 5, and is clearly above anchor 3's unnecessary explanations.

Actionability

Fully executable guidance throughout: the exact scaffold command with both required flags, explicit recipe-name validation rules (lowercase/hyphens, ≤30 chars, no leading/trailing hyphen), enumerated valid output directories, specific manifest.yaml fields to fill in, and copy-paste quick-start commands. This matches anchor 5; nothing is pseudocode or abstract.

Workflow Clarity

The sequence (gather inputs → validate → run script → respond) is clear, with explicit input-validation feedback loops ('explain which rule it violates and ask for a corrected name. Do not proceed until a valid name is confirmed') and a success gate ('Once the script succeeds'). It falls just short of anchor 5 because there is no guidance for handling script failure itself, matching anchor 4's 'minor validation gaps'. Scaffolding creates new files rather than modifying existing ones, so the destructive/batch cap of 3 does not apply.

Progressive Disclosure

A short (~60 line) body organized into clear Rules / Inputs / Run / Respond sections, with the heavy lifting correctly delegated to the bundled scripts/scaffold.py (which exists at the referenced path) and a clearly signaled one-level-deep pointer to the generate-manifest skill. No references/ or assets/ are needed; this matches anchor 5 for a simple, single-purpose skill.

Specificity

The description names the domain (Python ADK recipe scaffolding) and 1-2 concrete actions ('utilizes an automated script to copy template files and resolve basic placeholders'), but does not list several specific actions, so it matches anchor 3 rather than 4. It is in third person, so no voice penalty applies.

Completeness

Both questions are explicitly answered: what ('copy template files and resolve basic placeholders' via an automated script) and when ('This skill should be used when the user wants to' followed by concrete trigger phrases). This matches anchor 5; the explicit 'Use when' clause means the completeness cap of 3 does not apply.

Trigger Term Quality

It provides five natural quoted trigger phrases users would actually say ('create a new Python ADK recipe', 'scaffold a new Python recipe', 'generate a new Python recipe in contrib', 'add a new Python recipe to the adk-recipes repository', 'create a Python adk recipe'), covering the verb and noun-phrase variants for this domain. No meaningful natural terms are missing, matching anchor 5 rather than 4.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The trigger phrases are tightly scoped to scaffolding Python ADK recipes in a specific repository, a clear niche with distinct triggers and minimal overlap with other skills, matching anchor 5.
