Conciseness

The ~63-line body packs a triage section, two full workflow paths, finishing steps, and review handling with zero padding and no explanations of concepts Claude already knows (e.g., 'Never re-translate a whole document to apply an update — a minimal update preserves the reviewed phrasing of everything that didn't change'). Every sentence states a binding rule or a command, assuming the reader's competence.

Actionability

Guidance is fully executable: concrete commands ('pnpm run gen-translation-brief --apply <pair>', 'pnpm run verify-translation-pairing --write <pair>', '--list', 'pnpm run doc-sync'), exact switcher-line formats ('[English](foo.md) | 中文'), explicit file paths, and precise terminology-column instructions for each target language. As an instruction-only skill, its guidance is copy-paste actionable.

Workflow Clarity

Change-type triage routes to two clearly numbered paths, each with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops: '--apply' 'structure-validates the result before writing', step 5's record-then-verify sequence, 'the gate goes red if you forget', and escalation rules for unanswerable briefings. Batch recording is explicitly guarded ('it refuses to run bare so a bulk re-record is always an explicit --all'), so the destructive/batch cap does not apply.

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a well-organized overview with clear triage-based navigation; detailed rules live one level deep in clearly signaled references, each introduced with its purpose ('the pairing contract', 'how to translate: faithfulness, structure preservation, terminology discipline…'). Nothing that belongs in a separate file is inlined, and no reference is buried.

Specificity

'generated briefings, delegated prose translation, whole-document translation, and scoped pairing verification' names several concrete actions in a specific domain. Not 5: the terms are internal jargon ('briefings', 'pairing verification') without unpacking, and sub-capabilities like the mechanical '--apply' path are not represented.

Completeness

The 'what' is clear (manually run the workflow with its four named components), but there is no 'Use when…' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance; 'Manually run' only weakly implies the invocation context. Per the rubric guideline, a missing trigger clause caps completeness at 3.

Trigger Term Quality

Relevant keywords exist ('bilingual-document', 'translation', 'prose translation', 'whole-document translation') but common natural variations are missing: 'Chinese', 'English', '.zh.md', 'translate', 'sync', 'localize'. This matches the anchor for some relevant keywords missing common synonyms, rather than 4 where only a few natural terms are absent.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

'DeepSeek Harness bilingual-document workflow' plus 'pairing verification' carves a distinct niche with minimal conflict risk. Not 5: anchor-5 requires distinct trigger phrases, which the description lacks, and generic wording like 'prose translation' leaves minor overlap risk with a general translation skill.
