Conciseness

The body is ~5 lean lines with no concept explanations, but the opening "There isn't a lot more to this than what the top level description says" is filler that earns nothing. Not 5: that meta-sentence wastes tokens; not 3: the rest is efficient and assumes Claude's competence with no padding.

Actionability

Guidance is high-level: "a clear specification of what is needed", "ask the user any questions", "Stage this in Git if you have permissions" — there is no template, section structure, or example of what the issue spec should contain, and 'stage this in Git' gives no concrete command context. Not 3: there is no partially concrete, executable detail like a format or example; not 1: the directives (ask clarifying questions, stage in git, dated path) are at least specific intents.

Workflow Clarity

A rough process is implied (write the spec, ask questions about underspecified parts, stage in git), but the sequence is not laid out — whether to ask questions before or while writing is unclear — and there are no checkpoints such as confirming the spec with the user before staging. Not 4: the steps and their order are not clearly defined; not 2: the three directives do form a recognizable rough sequence.

Progressive Disclosure

The body is well under 50 lines with no bundle files and nothing inlined that belongs in a separate file, which suits a simple skill. Not 5: it is a single unstructured paragraph with no organizational structure, and the filler opening obscures what little overview there is.

Specificity

"Create a markdown document that describes a specific task along with concise implementation plan, at issues/YYYYMMDD-blah-blah.md" names the domain and 1-2 concrete actions (create a dated spec document with a task description and plan, follow the path convention), but coverage is not comprehensive — it never says what the spec should contain. Not 4: it does not list several distinct specific actions like the anchor example; not 2: the actions are more concrete than the purely generic 'Processes PDF files'.

Completeness

The 'what' is clear (create a dated markdown issue-spec document with a task description and implementation plan), but there is no 'Use when...' clause or any equivalent trigger guidance, which caps completeness at 3 per the judging guidelines. Not 4: the 'when' is entirely absent, not merely imprecise.

Trigger Term Quality

Keywords like "markdown document", "specific task", and "implementation plan" are relevant, but the natural phrases a user would say ("issue", "spec", "write up a task", "ticket") are missing, and the odd "YYYYMMDD-blah-blah" placeholder reads as jargon rather than a trigger term. Not 4: no natural trigger-phrase coverage; not 2: terms are more domain-specific than 'Works with files'.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"a markdown document that describes a specific task" could overlap with general documentation, planning, or writing skills, and no trigger phrases distinguish it. Not 4: the overlap with related skills is more than minor; not 2: the dated issues/ path convention gives it some niche identity.
