Conciseness

The body assumes Claude's competence (no basic-concept explanations) but is padded with duplication: all 13 color tokens are enumerated in step 2 and then re-listed as CSS variables in step 3, and the full P0/P1 gate lists appear twice ('Validation: Run hardened quality gates' and 'Quality gates'), duplicating references/checklist.md. This matches 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' rather than 4 ('only minor instances of over-explanation') given the scale of the repetition.

Actionability

Guidance is fully executable: exact token names ({{BG_EXPRESSION}}, {{LOGO_MARK}}), precise escaping and sanitization rules (strip script, on*, foreignObject, external refs), an explicit color grammar with hard-rejected characters (';', '{}', '<', '>', '/*', '@', 'url('), concrete CSS variable mappings (--bg, --fg, --accent...), and exact viewport checks (375×667, 390×844). This matches the 'copy-paste ready, covers common cases' anchor; not 4 because there are no meaningful gaps in specificity.

Workflow Clarity

A clear 0–7 sequence (load DESIGN.md → copy template → token replacement → verify mapping → responsive check → P0/P1 validation → emit) with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops: 'If any P0 gate fails, ask the user or fix the token mappings and try again' and post-emission re-validation on iterations. Matches the top anchor with checklist-driven checkpoints; not 4 because validation and error-recovery loops are explicit throughout.

Progressive Disclosure

Both referenced bundle files exist and are one level deep with clear signals ('Read assets/template.html', 'Read references/checklist.md'), and the template is correctly kept out of the body. Falls short of 5 because the body inlines the complete P0/P1 gate enumeration that already lives in references/checklist.md, so content that should be separate is duplicated inline — a minor organization gap matching 'good structure; most content appropriately placed'.

Specificity

The description names the domain clearly ('Minimal pre-launch landing with email capture, brand logo, and optional decorative layer') and gives 1–2 concrete actions ('email capture', 'Reads DESIGN.md for colors, typography, and layout rules'), but doesn't enumerate the skill's actual actions (build/emit the HTML page, token replacement, quality gates). Matches 'names domain and 1-2 concrete actions, but not comprehensive'; not 4 because the component list is not a list of several specific actions.

Completeness

Both questions are explicitly answered: what — 'Minimal pre-launch landing with email capture, brand logo, and optional decorative layer. Reads DESIGN.md for colors, typography, and layout rules'; when — 'Best for: product launches, beta signups, early access programs, indie projects', an explicit use-when clause with concrete trigger phrases (reinforced by the triggers list). Matches the top anchor; not 4 because the 'when' is explicit and specific, not merely present.

Trigger Term Quality

'pre-launch landing', 'email capture', 'product launches, beta signups, early access programs, indie projects' are natural user phrases, and the frontmatter triggers field adds comprehensive variations ('waitlist page', 'coming soon page', 'pre-launch landing page', 'email capture page', 'launch page'). Falls short of 5 because the description text itself never uses the most common term 'waitlist', relying on the separate triggers field to carry it; above 3 because coverage of natural phrasing is good.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche (pre-launch waitlist/coming-soon pages driven by a DESIGN.md brand system) with distinct triggers; minimal conflict risk — few skills would claim this territory. The broadest trigger ('launch page') creates only trivial overlap, so it fits the 'clear niche with distinct triggers' anchor rather than 4.
