Conciseness

The body is lean and dense with policy that Claude could not infer (lifecycle outcomes, calibrated word-count examples, the frozen-triplet sealing rules); no filler or explanations of known concepts. Every section earns its tokens.

Actionability

Fully executable guidance: exact file moves ('Move the complete foo.md, foo.zh.md, and foo.i18n.yaml triplet from implemented/<kind>/ to archived/<kind>/'), exact metadata edits ('Insert only Archived: YYYY-MM-DD immediately below Status: implemented'), and exact commands ('pnpm run verify-archived-agent-notes --write', 'pnpm run doc-sync', 'pnpm run lint', 'git diff --check'). Classification rules are concrete with named examples.

Workflow Clarity

The archive procedure is a clear numbered 1-5 sequence with an embedded validation step (the append-only verifier 'first proves every existing seal still matches') plus a dedicated validate-and-report section, so the destructive/batch cap does not apply. Not 5 because explicit error-recovery feedback loops (what to do when a verifier or check fails) are not spelled out — a minor validation gap matching anchor 4 rather than the anchor-5 'if errors: fix and re-validate' pattern.

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized sections with clearly signaled, one-level-deep references ('Read [the Agent Note rules](../../notes/README.md)', '[the archive instructions](../../notes/archived/AGENTS.md)', '[dsh-pre-push-checks](../dsh-pre-push-checks/SKILL.md)'); no content that belongs in a separate file is inlined, and navigation is easy.

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete actions — 'adding, auditing, pruning, archiving, restoring, or reviewing', 'checks every new note for superseded active records', 'classifies implemented notes by future decision value', 'deletes rejected notes', 'applies the frozen archived/{kind} triplet and manifest rules' — giving comprehensive coverage of the skill's capabilities. Not the level below (4) because there are no meaningful gaps in the action inventory.

Completeness

Both 'what' and 'when' are explicit: the 'Use when adding, auditing, pruning, archiving, restoring, or reviewing Agent Notes in deepseek-harness' clause gives concrete trigger phrases, and the remainder states concretely what the skill does (supersession checks, classification, deletion, triplet/manifest rules). Clearly matches the anchor-5 example structure.

Trigger Term Quality

Good keyword coverage with natural lifecycle verbs users would say ('adding', 'archiving', 'pruning', 'restoring', 'reviewing', 'auditing') plus the domain object 'Agent Notes'. Not 5 because a few plausible natural phrasings (e.g., 'clean up', 'consolidate', 'supersede') are absent, and the extension-like artifacts are limited to the 'archived/{kind}' path pattern.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche ('Agent Notes in deepseek-harness') with distinct, domain-specific triggers; no generic terms that would cause overlap with unrelated skills.
