The body is lean — decision tables, concrete thresholds ('1h burn rate > 10x', 'Budget remaining > 50%'), and Honeycomb-specific calculated-field semantics rather than generic background — so most tokens earn their place; it is not score 2 because the few best-practice bullets are concise one-liners rather than padded explanation.

Provides concrete, copy-paste-ready Honeycomb expressions throughout — 'IF(<qualifying-condition>, <success-condition>)', 'AND(EQUALS($http.route, "/checkout"), NOT(EXISTS($trace.parent_id)))', 'LTE(duration_ms, 500)', 'COUNT WHERE error = true, threshold > N in 5 min', and a URL path template — matching the executable, copy-paste anchor; it is not score 2 because the guidance is complete rather than pseudocode.

Sequences SLO design (Define SLI → Set Target → Exhaustion alerts → Burn alerts) with an explicit pre-create checkpoint ('Before executing the create tool, check in with the user… ask for confirmation') and a misconfiguration feedback loop ('Compliance at 0%: Likely misconfigured SLI… check the SLI definition'); it is not score 2 because validation/checkpoint steps are explicit rather than implicit.

The body is a well-organized overview that points to three clearly-signaled, one-level-deep reference files (slo-design-guide.md, trigger-examples.md, alerting-strategy.md — all present on disk) plus peer-skill cross-references; it is not score 2 because references are clearly signaled and shallow rather than nested or buried.

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'interpreting Honeycomb SLO compliance, budget burn rates, and trigger status', 'detecting misconfigured SLIs', 'deciding when to freeze deploys vs page on-call', 'designing burn alert thresholds' — matching the score-3 anchor for multiple specific concrete actions; it is not score 2 because the actions are comprehensive rather than a partial listing.

Explicitly answers both 'what' (decision heuristics plus named actions) and 'when' ('Load this skill before calling get_slos or get_triggers' plus a dedicated 'Trigger phrases:' list), so the missing-trigger-clause cap at 2 does not apply; it is not score 2 because the 'when' is explicit, not merely implied.

Includes 18+ natural phrases a user would say ('check our SLOs', 'are we meeting our SLOs', 'what's the burn rate', 'are any alerts firing', 'set up an SLO', 'starting on-call', 'SLO is broken', 'budget is negative'), giving good coverage; it is not score 2 because common variations are present rather than missing.

Occupies a clear Honeycomb-specific niche (SLOs, error budgets, burn rates, triggers in Honeycomb) with distinct triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills; it is not score 2 because the domain is sharply scoped rather than broadly overlapping.
