Conciseness

Mostly lean procedural content with executable bash blocks and no padding about concepts Claude already knows; minor repetition between the Step 2 numbered list and the follow-on merge-semantics prose could be trimmed.

Actionability

Provides concrete, executable bash commands (entry verification, archive script, state transitions) with a specific single-select decision protocol; placeholders like <change-name> require substitution but are otherwise copy-paste ready.

Workflow Clarity

Clear sequenced steps (0-3) with explicit validation checkpoints (entry verification, blocking confirmation, exit conditions, exit-code check) and feedback loops (non-zero exit stops; 'Needs adjustment' transitions back to /comet-verify), satisfying the destructive-operation validation requirement.

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into clear sections with one-level-deep, clearly signaled references (comet/reference/decision-point.md, comet/reference/context-recovery.md); no bundle files exist under ./references to verify, and a fair amount of process detail is inlined rather than split out.

Specificity

Names the domain and two concrete actions ('Merge delta specs into main specs', 'archive change') but coverage is limited to those two operations rather than comprehensive.

Completeness

Both 'what' (merge delta specs, archive change) and 'when' ('Invoke with /comet-archive') are present, though the 'when' states the invocation rather than the triggering condition (e.g. after verification passed).

Trigger Term Quality

Provides the explicit invocation trigger '/comet-archive' and the keyword 'archive', but lacks broader natural-term variations a user might say beyond the slash command.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (Comet Phase 5: Archive) with a distinct slash command and specific action, with only minor overlap risk against the other comet phase skills.
