Conciseness

Lean and imperative with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows; every section is operational. One clear duplication — "Install packages only when they are actually needed" at the top restates "Install packages on demand per step, not all at once" in General rules — so it fits anchor 4 (minor instances that could be trimmed) rather than anchor 5 (every token earns its place).

Actionability

Fully executable copy-paste commands: exact pip invocations with the PyTorch CPU extra-index URL, the critical anti-pattern called out inline ("Do NOT `pip install openvino`" when a source build is present), and both post-build wiring options (PYTHONPATH export and wheel install). The only placeholder, <build_dir>, is justified flexibility. Matches anchor 5.

Workflow Clarity

Two clearly labeled paths with the decision criterion (source build or not) stated up front, a sequenced post-build step, and error recovery for install failures ("note it in session.md and continue"). Not a destructive or batch operation, so no cap applies. Falls short of anchor 5 only because there is no explicit verification checkpoint (e.g. confirming which `openvino` import resolves) after setup.

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and none are needed for this short, single-topic skill; the body is organized into well-signaled flat sections (## Path A, ## Path B, ## General rules) with no nested references and easy navigation. Per the simple-skill note, well-organized sections alone warrant anchor 5.

Specificity

Names the domain (Python dependencies for OpenVINO) and 1-2 concrete actions ("Install Python dependencies", "Choose the correct path depending on whether the agent builds OpenVINO from source"), but coverage is not comprehensive — no packages, install method, or mechanism are mentioned. Not score 4 because it does not list several specific actions; not score 2 because the actions go beyond minimal/generic.

Completeness

The 'what' is clear (install Python dependencies) and the 'when' is explicit ("before running verification or test steps"), which counts as equivalent trigger guidance so it is not capped at 3. Not score 5 because the when is pipeline-timing rather than concrete user trigger phrases, and it could be more specific about the source-build vs. wheel distinction.

Trigger Term Quality

Contains relevant keywords ("Python dependencies", "verification or test steps", "OpenVINO", "source") but misses common natural variations users would say, such as "pip install", "packages", "requirements", or "environment setup". Matches anchor 3: some relevant keywords but missing common variations or synonyms.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche — the OpenVINO source-build vs. release-wheel dependency decision — with distinct trigger terms that are unlikely to fire for generic package-management or unrelated skills. Matches anchor 5: clear niche with distinct triggers; minimal conflict risk.
