Conciseness

Mostly operational, but there is real redundancy: Key Behaviors restates Anti-Patterns nearly verbatim ("Store verbatim. No reformulation" vs "NEVER reformulate"; "One-line capture response" vs "NEVER add unsolicited commentary"; "No GTD writes" vs "NEVER write to GTD"), and Usage Examples re-demonstrates what the Commands and Capture sections already specify. This fits the 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' anchor; not 4 because the duplication and marginal background links (LKT, YAML spec) are more than minor, not 2 because there is no padding that explains concepts Claude already knows.

Actionability

Everything is executable for an instruction-only skill: exact filename pattern `{date}-{seq}-{source}-to-{target}.yaml`, a complete YAML schema with field-by-field semantics, a 4-step argument-parse procedure, keyword rules for direction/strength detection, exact one-line response templates, and concrete display formats for list/map/stats including a mermaid example. Not below 5: the common cases (capture, explicit type, bidirectional detection) are each covered by a worked example.

Workflow Clarity

Each command has a numbered, clearly sequenced procedure with real checkpoints: the capture guard on workspace root, the config-missing warning, the mandatory seq check to prevent overwrites, and the duplicate check via `/bridge list`. Not 5 because there are no explicit error-recovery feedback loops (what to do after a warning fires is implied rather than specified); not 3 because validation guards for the risky write path (collisions, missing config, unknown aliases) are explicitly present.

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a genuine overview that defers the full archetype table and detection heuristics to references/archetype-detection.md, which exists in the bundle and is exactly the referenced content. The reference is one level deep and doubly well-signaled — inline with a when-to-load instruction ("load it before auto-detecting an archetype") and again in a References table with When-to-Use column. No content that belongs in a separate file is inlined.

Specificity

Concrete actions are stated — "Capture cross-project connections on the fly" and "Persists structured YAML to a bridges directory" — plus an enumeration of five bridge types ("shared pattern, people-bridge, knowledge cascade, narrative amplifier, or flywheel loop"). Not 5 because coverage is limited to capture/persist (list, map, stats capabilities go unmentioned); not 3 because it names the domain and more than two specific actions with a typed taxonomy.

Completeness

Explicitly answers both questions: what ("Capture cross-project connections... Persists structured YAML to a bridges directory") and when ("Use when you notice a shared pattern... linking two projects", plus a concrete trigger-term list). This matches the top anchor — both what and when with concrete trigger phrases — and exceeds the level-4 anchor whose 'when' is less explicit.

Trigger Term Quality

Includes genuinely natural phrases users would say — "connects to", "feeds into", "same pattern as", "cross-project link" — matching the good-coverage anchor. Not 5 because the trigger list is diluted with internal jargon/field values ("archetype detection", "bidirectional", "one-way", "active", "potential", "theoretical") that users would not naturally utter, and common synonyms are missing.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche (cross-project bridge capture in a praxis/project-config system) with mostly distinct triggers like "people-bridge" and "archetype detection". Not 5 because the bare words "active", "potential", "theoretical", and "one-way" are generic and could fire in unrelated conversations; not 3 because the domain framing keeps overlap confined to closely related skills.
