Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes competence (no explanation of what Convex is, no padding), but the intro paragraph ("deploy the Convex backend to the cloud (claiming the anonymous deployment if needed), build the web app, and publish it to *.convex.app") substantially restates the Workflow list, a minor redundancy that could be trimmed. This sits between anchors 4 and 5, at anchor 4: efficient with a little slack.

Actionability

One step is executable ("`convex deploy` the backend"), but the other steps are high-level hints without the specific commands: "claim/persist it to the cloud (Tier-2 sign-in)", "Build the web app (static export) and upload via the moderated publish gateway". This matches anchor 3 (some concrete guidance but incomplete; missing key details) rather than anchor 2, since the mechanism and one real command are given.

Workflow Clarity

The four workflow steps are clearly numbered and sequenced, and "Confirm before publishing (it produces a public URL)" is an explicit pre-flight checkpoint. However, there are no validation/verification steps (e.g. confirm deploy succeeded, verify the build before upload) and no error-recovery loop for a privileged, outward-facing operation, which matches anchor 3 (sequence present but checkpoints missing) and is capped there by the destructive/outward-facing validation rule.

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is under 50 lines, single-purpose, with well-organized sections (Workflow, Rules) and no bundle files exist, so no external references are needed. Per the simple-skill scoring note, this earns anchor 5: clear structure with nothing that belongs in separate files, and cross-references to other skills (`domains`, `labs-acquire-domain`) are clearly signaled.

Specificity

Names the domain ("Convex app") and 1-2 concrete actions ("deploy backend + upload web build") with a concrete outcome ("live *.convex.app URL"), but coverage has gaps (claiming anonymous deployments, custom-domain handling are absent). This matches the anchor 'names domain and 1-2 concrete actions, but not comprehensive'; anchor 4 requires several listed actions, which this does not have.

Completeness

The "what" is clear (publish the Convex app to a live URL by deploying the backend and uploading the web build), but there is no "Use when..." clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance; the "when" is only weakly implied by "the current Convex app". Per the judging guideline, a missing 'Use when' clause caps completeness at 3.

Trigger Term Quality

Includes good natural trigger terms — "Publish", "deploy", "live", "Convex app", "*.convex.app" — that users would plausibly say. A few natural variations like "ship" and "go live" are missing, so it falls between anchors 3 and 4, noticeably above the midpoint.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The combination of "Convex app", "*.convex.app URL", and the deploy/publish workflow carves out a clear niche with distinct triggers and minimal conflict risk with any other skill; it matches the anchor 'clear niche with distinct triggers; minimal conflict risk'.
