Conciseness

The body is a lean, table-driven reference that assumes Claude's competence: no concept explanations, no padding, every line carries operational content ('Never Premium/Quality for boilerplate. 3+ parallel agents → prefer Economy/Fast/Standard.'). It clearly matches the anchor-5 'every token earns its place' profile rather than the anchor-4 'minor instances of over-explanation'.

Actionability

Mostly concrete and executable: tier routing table, factor scoring table, status handling table, 5-point pre-delegation checklist, and a complete JSON delegation envelope with field definitions. Not anchor 5 because key details are missing — the Complexity-Based Task Scoring section never defines how the five factors combine into a numeric score (bands 1-2/3-5/8/13 are unexplained), and 'Panel 3x BLOCK' references an undefined protocol.

Workflow Clarity

The 7-step Delegation Sequence is clearly ordered with explicit validation checkpoints: the 5-point pre-delegation checklist gates step 5, 'Deepen is done when no field is still a guess' defines a completion criterion, and the status handling table plus DLQ (fail 2+ attempts) and error-recovery skill pointer provide feedback loops. This matches the anchor-5 pattern of sequence + explicit validation + error-recovery loops.

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized sections with one-level-deep, clearly signaled references to other skills and files ('load **orchestration-protocols** skill', 'For specialist agent registry, model assignments, see `.opencastle/agents/agent-registry.md`'), and no bundle files are provided so nothing was split out. Not anchor 5 because the entire operational reference is inlined — dispute protocol, DLQ format, and deepen protocol could arguably live in reference files, and the external paths are not part of this bundle.

Specificity

Names four concrete actions ('Provides model routing rules, validates delegation prerequisites, supplies cost tracking templates, defines dead-letter queue formats') in third person, but coverage has minor gaps (dispute protocol, error recovery, deepen-plan are not mentioned). Not anchor 5 because the action list is not comprehensive over the body's capabilities; not anchor 3 because it lists several specific actions beyond a domain name.

Completeness

Explicitly answers both questions: a concrete 'what' (four stated capabilities) and an explicit 'when' clause ('Load when assigning tasks to agents, choosing model tiers, ... running multi-agent workflow'). This mirrors the anchor-5 good_overall_example structure; anchor 4 would require the when-clause to be less explicit.

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural trigger phrases with synonym coverage: 'assigning tasks to agents', 'delegating work', 'starting delegation session', 'choosing model tiers' / 'choosing which model to use', 'running multi-agent workflow'. These are exactly what a user would say when needing this skill, so it matches the anchor-5 example rather than the 'a few natural terms missing' anchor 4.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Team Lead orchestration niche (model routing + delegation prerequisites + dead-letter queue format) is mostly distinct with clearly signaled domain ('for Team Lead orchestration'), but broad triggers like 'assigning tasks' and 'delegating work' create minor overlap risk with other agent/delegation skills. Not anchor 5 because the trigger set is not tightly exclusive to this skill.
