Conciseness

The template and field rules are dense and earn their tokens, but the body pads with fluffy framing ("Makes the task transparent and understandable for executors and clients") and an inline provenance digression ("Moved here from the project instruction template on 2026-08-27 ... scored 0/3 with 13, 16 and 27 tool calls") — time-sensitive history outside any deprecated/old-patterns section, which the guidelines penalize. Fits the mostly-efficient anchor: not 2 because the core template guidance is tight, not 4 because the backstory paragraph and generic bullets are clearly trimmable.

Actionability

The fenced markdown template is copy-paste ready with concrete conventions — "<YYYY>/<MM>/<slug>.md, kebab-case slug, max 40 chars", "Test: `path/to/test>::<test_name>`", "Evidence: `<command that passes iff the item is done>`" — and four worked examples cover incident, operational, development, and product-request cases. Matches the fully-executable anchor; not 4 because there is no material gap in the common-case guidance.

Workflow Clarity

Writing a task is a single, unambiguous purpose with a guardrail ("Never edit `status` by hand — commit workflows derive it from the `## Definition of Done` checkbox count"), but the actual flow — resolve the `tasks` role, apply the template, fill sections, verify DoD tuples — is scattered across blocks with no ordered steps or final checklist; the missing-validation cap does not apply since the skill involves no destructive or batch operations. Fits the clear-with-minor-gaps anchor: not 3 because sequence and constraints are unambiguous once assembled, not 5 because no explicit step sequence or completion check exists.

Progressive Disclosure

The ~140-line body is well sectioned (framework, template, frontmatter rules, examples) with no nested references, but it exceeds the under-50-line simple-skill case and inlines content — the four examples and the migration backstory — that could live in a separate reference file. Fits the good-structure-minor-gaps anchor; not 5 because the guideline reserves 5-without-references for skills under 50 lines.

Specificity

"Supplies the accepted task format GODS" and "write up decided work in it" name the domain and 1-2 concrete actions with the acronym expanded inline, but the description does not enumerate several specific operations (template, DoD tuple rules), so it fits the 1-2-concrete-actions anchor rather than the several-actions anchor.

Completeness

The first sentence explicitly answers what the skill does and "Use when the user asks what that format is, or to write up decided work in it" gives concrete trigger phrases, exactly matching the clear what-and-when anchor.

Trigger Term Quality

Natural trigger phrases are present ("what that format is", "write up decided work", "GODS", "Definition of Done", plus the anti-trigger "planning"), but common variations users might say such as "task file" or "task template" are missing, placing it just below the comprehensive-synonyms anchor.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"NOT for planning before coding — weighing variants belongs to the planning skill" draws an explicit boundary against the nearest competing skill, and the single named format gives it a clear niche with minimal conflict risk.
