Conciseness

Every line carries Paseo-specific knowledge Claude cannot already know (topology distinctions, per-OS log paths, bundled CLI locations, Docker home defaults), with no generic-concept explanation or padding — anchor 5, 'every token earns its place.'

Actionability

Guidance is fully executable: copy-paste commands ('paseo daemon status --json', 'paseo provider diagnostic <provider> --json'), exact UI paths (Settings → your host → Overview → Full status), concrete per-OS file paths, a health endpoint, and specific escalation links, covering common cases like a missing provider or CLI not on PATH — anchor 5.

Workflow Clarity

The sequence is explicit and gated ('Fetch llms.txt first', 'Identify the daemon involved before diagnosing', diagnose before changing state), risky actions are checkpointed behind explicit permission, and an escalation fallback ('If the current docs and diagnostics do not resolve the problem...') provides error recovery — anchor 5; the destructive-operation cap does not apply since the skill mandates read-only checks and permission gating.

Progressive Disclosure

Five well-organized sections with clearly signaled one-level-deep external references (llms.txt index, troubleshooting page), but at ~88 lines the inlined logs/paths reference section could arguably live in a bundle file — anchor 4, 'good structure; minor organization gaps,' rather than anchor 5's fully split content.

Specificity

The single action verb 'Answer questions' is paired with a near-comprehensive enumerated topic list ('setup, configuration, connectivity, providers, workspaces, updates, logs, and troubleshooting'), matching anchor 4's 'several specific actions; minor gaps' — it lacks the multiple distinct concrete actions of anchor 5 and is more complete than anchor 3's 'not comprehensive'.

Completeness

It clearly states what ('Answer questions about the Paseo product and app, including...') and explicitly when ('Use when a user inside Paseo asks how Paseo works, how to configure it, or why something is broken') with concrete trigger phrases, exactly matching anchor 5.

Trigger Term Quality

Natural user phrasings are present ('how Paseo works', 'how to configure it', 'why something is broken') alongside eight topic keywords, but common synonyms such as 'install', 'error', or 'not connecting' are absent, so it fits anchor 4 ('good keyword coverage; a few natural terms missing') rather than anchor 5's comprehensive synonym coverage.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It carves out a clear niche (help/troubleshooting for Paseo itself) and explicitly disambiguates the sibling skill ('use the paseo skill instead to operate agents and workspaces through MCP or the CLI'), minimizing conflict risk as anchor 5 describes.
