Conciseness

The body is dense and point-first — it assumes Claude knows what IRAC, a memo, and citation are and never pads with such concepts; every line is task-specific imperative guidance, so it sits at the lean/efficient anchor rather than the 'could be tightened' one.

Actionability

It gives concrete, executable guidance: named Midpage tools with exact filter params (jurisdictionType, circuits/courts/states, publishStatus), specific result fields (doesNotAddress, supportedPropositions, deeplinkURL, centrality, scope, opinionSection), and a copy-paste rendering snippet using D.builders("memo", { lineSpacing: 480 }).

Workflow Clarity

The research method is a clearly sequenced pipeline (Frame → Search → Triage → Branch → analyzeOpinion gate) with explicit validation checkpoints — "Check doesNotAddress first — if your point is listed, the case doesn't stand for it" — and a saturation stopping condition, matching the anchor for clear sequence with explicit validation steps.

Progressive Disclosure

The body is an overview that signals three one-level-deep reference files at the top (litigation-writing.md, citations.md, legal-docx.md), all of which exist on disk, while keeping the core method inline — clear navigation with content appropriately split.

Specificity

It names multiple concrete actions and structural parts — "Questions Presented, Brief Answers, Facts, IRAC Discussion, Conclusion" plus the ".docx" output format — matching the anchor that lists several specific concrete actions rather than a vague domain label.

Completeness

It states both what it does (writes a formal objective legal research memo as .docx with named sections) and when to use it ("Use to 'draft a research memo on whether…'") with an explicit trigger, so it is not capped at 2 for a missing trigger clause.

Trigger Term Quality

The quoted phrase "draft a research memo on whether…" is exactly how a user would phrase the request, giving good natural-term coverage rather than jargon or generic wording.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The narrow legal-research-memo niche, named IRAC structure, and the disambiguating "Predicts, never advocates" carve a clear space unlikely to collide with other skills.
