Conciseness

Nearly every line is routing guidance with no padding of concepts Claude already knows, but the same class-to-skills mapping is restated across four tables (classification tree, Pipeline Selection, skill-by-class activation, Depth Calibration), which could be consolidated into one primary table. It is above anchor 2 because there is no wasted explanation, only structural redundancy.

Actionability

Concrete, executable routing rules throughout: 'CI=true or GITHUB_ACTIONS=true', '20% diff, 60s' S&H budget, 'up to 3 attempts per phase', 'Recurrence ≥ 3' promotion threshold, explicit artifact paths, and explicit defaults ('When uncertain, start with Medium'). Minor gaps remain, e.g. what 'persistent multi-session coordination is available' concretely means for invoking control-session-orchestrator.

Workflow Clarity

Activation sequences are explicitly ordered with validation checkpoints and feedback loops: 'verify-gate (compile + test + lint; fix loop if red — fix loop calls self-healing)', per-unit verify gates plus independent auditors in the batch pipeline, drift-exit handling, and 'Mark the handoff consumed only after re-entry succeeds' on resume. Batch operations carry full verification, so the batch-validation cap does not apply.

Progressive Disclosure

Three real one-level-deep reference files, each clearly signaled with its contents ('For detailed heuristics, edge cases, and examples: read references/classification-rules.md'; 'For the full artifact/signal/budget table: read references/handoff-matrix.md'; 'For complete step-by-step walkthroughs...: read references/pipeline-variants.md'). Held below 5 because the body inlines substantial detail — the 9-item handoff enumeration and the dual depth tables — that partially duplicates references/handoff-matrix.md and references/classification-rules.md.

Specificity

Lists several concrete actions — 'classifies incoming coding tasks and routes them through the correct combination of skills', 'Handles standard, orchestrated-batch, CI, and outer-loop pipeline variants', 'surfacing accumulated knowledge — past heals and learnings — at session start' — with minor gaps (what 'correct combination' and 'right depth' mean concretely is left to the body).

Completeness

The 'what' is detailed and multi-part, but there is no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance; 'when' is only weakly implied by 'Handles standard, orchestrated-batch, CI, and outer-loop pipeline variants', so per the judging guideline completeness is capped at 3.

Trigger Term Quality

The description is dominated by internal skill names (plan-interview, intent-framed-agent, context-surfing, verify-gate, self-healing, simplify-and-harden, learning-aggregator, etc.) rather than phrases a user would naturally say when they need this skill; only generic naturals like 'coding tasks' and 'pipeline' appear. It is above anchor 1 because some natural terms exist, but the natural phrases users would actually say are largely missing.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The orchestrator niche is clear and explicitly differentiated ('Does not replace individual skills; dispatches to them'), but enumerating a dozen sibling skill names creates minor overlap risk with those skills' own triggers — a query mentioning 'verify-gate' or 'self-healing' would match this description too.
