Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence — no 'what is a DEX' padding, terse Output bullets, and a compact error table. However, the entire Examples section repeats three commands verbatim from Instructions (same 'ETH USDC 5.0 --compare', '100.0 --split', '50.0 --mev-check' invocations), which is trimmable duplication — anchor 4, not 5.

Actionability

Every step is a fully executable, copy-paste-ready command with concrete arguments and flags ('python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/dex_router.py ETH USDC 100.0 --split'), prerequisites include an exact copy command, and examples cover the common cases. Matches anchor 5; nothing is pseudocode or vague.

Workflow Clarity

A clear 6-step sequence from quick quote to full analysis, with a MEV-check-before-executing checkpoint and an Error Handling table mapping error→cause→solution as a feedback loop. Not 5 because there is no explicit validate-then-proceed step (e.g., verifying quote freshness before execution appears only inside the error table); the destructive/batch cap does not apply since operations are read/analysis.

Progressive Disclosure

The SKILL.md is a genuine overview with well-signaled, one-level-deep references (references/implementation.md, errors.md, examples.md — all present in the bundle) and a Contents nav. Not 5 because Prerequisites references '${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/config/settings.yaml.example', which does not exist in the bundle (no config/ directory), leaving a broken referenced path.

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Route trades across multiple DEXs', 'comparing DEX prices', 'finding optimal swap routes', 'analyzing price impact', 'splitting large orders', 'assessing MEV risk' — with comprehensive coverage of the skill's capabilities. Fits anchor 5 rather than 4 because coverage is comprehensive, with no meaningful gaps.

Completeness

Explicitly answers what ('Route trades across multiple DEXs to find optimal prices with minimal slippage and gas costs') and when ('Use when comparing DEX prices, finding optimal swap routes, analyzing price impact, splitting large orders, or assessing MEV risk') plus concrete trigger phrases. Clearly matches the anchor-5 good example structure.

Trigger Term Quality

Eight explicit natural phrases ('find best swap', 'compare DEX prices', 'route trade', 'optimal swap route', 'split order', 'DEX aggregator', 'check slippage', 'MEV protection') plus 'Use when' clause variants give good coverage. Not 5 because common synonyms a user might naturally say — e.g. 'best price', 'token swap', 'swap execution' — are absent.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche (DEX trade routing/optimization) with distinct domain-specific triggers ('DEX aggregator', 'MEV protection', 'split order'), making conflict with unrelated skills minimal. Would not plausibly trigger a different skill; matches anchor 5 rather than 4 because overlap risk is negligible.
