Conciseness

The body is dense and assumes competence (Cynefin domains are used without lecturing), with no padded background. Minor redundancy keeps it below the 5 anchor: the T1-override rule appears both in Step 1 ("Do not let T1 win alone against T2 and T3") and again as a full anti-pattern section with a near-duplicate example block, and the seven NEVER entries each carry a Why that could sometimes be trimmed.

Actionability

Fully concrete instruction-level guidance: literal copy-paste templates (the "🎯 Auto-classified" proposal, the domain map, the blank-AskUserQuestion fallback notice), a complete routing table mapping every domain to verb/skill/OpenSpec, and exact question-answer handling rules. For an instruction-only skill this is the 5 anchor: specific guidance covering the common cases.

Workflow Clarity

The sequence (Step 0 auto-classify → 1 triangulate → 1.5 decompose → 2 classify/route → 3 handoff) is explicit with validation checkpoints throughout: an 80% confidence threshold, the Adjacent Domain Challenge, a blank-answer guard, and user confirmation gates ("Adjust / Confirm / Re-frame", "Start chain / Re-frame / Skip framing") with re-frame feedback loops on disagreement. Matches the 5 anchor's explicit-validation and error-recovery criteria.

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a well-signaled overview with 8 one-level-deep references, all verified to exist with real content, each referenced at the point of need ("Load references/triangulation-tests.md for the exact wording") and catalogued with purpose in the References section. No nesting, no orphan links — matches the 5 anchor.

Specificity

"Classify problem using Cynefin triangulation (3 tests + decomposition) to route to the right skill chain" lists several specific actions (triangulate via 3 tests, decompose, route) with the mechanism stated. Minor gaps in coverage keep it below the comprehensive 5 anchor; it is clearly above the 1-2-action level of anchor 3.

Completeness

It clearly answers both what ("Classify problem using Cynefin triangulation ... to route to the right skill chain") and when ("Use when: frame, ... unsure what to do"), plus an explicit negative boundary ("NOT for known tasks — just do them"). This matches the 5 anchor: explicit what and when with concrete trigger phrases.

Trigger Term Quality

"Use when: frame, what approach, how should I start, which skill, where to begin, unsure what to do" gives good natural-phrase coverage that users would actually say. A few natural variants (e.g. "stuck", "can't decide") are missing, so it does not reach the comprehensive 5 anchor.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Cynefin triangulation framing is a distinct niche with specific triggers, and "NOT for known tasks" sharpens the boundary. "Which skill" and "where to begin" carry minor overlap risk with generic planning/orchestration skills, matching anchor 4 rather than the minimal-conflict 5.
