Conciseness

Quotes: "git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree", "git init -b main", "origin repo create <name>" — the body teaches nothing Claude already knows and every section carries instructions. Not 5 because the "isn't public / not public" fact is stated four times (intro, step 2 quote, step 4, visibility section) and the no-jargon rule appears in three places; these repetitions could be trimmed.

Actionability

Copy-paste-ready commands cover every state transition ("git init -b main", "git add -A && git commit -m \"Initial commit\"", "origin repo create <name>", "git remote add origin <clone URL printed by create>", "git push -u origin main") with concrete pre-checks ("git status --porcelain", secret patterns like ".env*") and branches for existing-remote, no-git, and create-failure cases.

Workflow Clarity

Quotes: a numbered 4-step sequence with explicit checkpoints — remote pre-check ("A remote already exists → ... commit + push ... and stop"), pre-stage secret gate ("ask before including it — never stage-and-push blind"), and a create-failure recovery path ("follow the `origin` skill's recovery table"). Not 5 because there is no post-push verification step and the error-recovery detail is delegated to the external origin skill's table.

Progressive Disclosure

The ~84-line body contains only core-flow content with clear section headers, and its single external dependency is explicitly signaled one level deep with a concrete path ("the `origin` skill (synced at `~/.cursor/skills-cursor/origin/SKILL.md")"). Nothing that belongs in a separate file is inlined, and no bundle files exist to split.

Specificity

Quotes: "Save, back up, or share the current project on Cursor", "creates a repo (a saved, versioned copy that isn't public)", "handling all setup automatically" — several concrete, distinct actions are named. Not 5 because "handling all setup automatically" is a generic capability claim and follow-on capabilities (restore, sync) appear only in the body, leaving minor coverage gaps.

Completeness

Explicit what ("creates a repo (a saved, versioned copy that isn't public) even for users who have never used git, handling all setup automatically") plus an explicit when with concrete trigger phrases ("Use when the user asks to save, back up, publish, or share their project on Cursor, or how to not lose it") — a direct match to the anchor-5 pattern.

Trigger Term Quality

Quotes: "save, back up, publish, or share their project on Cursor", "how to not lose it" — five natural phrasings users would actually say, including the colloquial "not lose it". Not 5 because common variations such as "upload", "put it online", or "make a copy" are absent; not 3 because coverage goes well beyond a single domain keyword.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The "on Cursor" scoping and the novice-repo niche ("even for users who have never used git") carve a clear, distinct trigger set. Not 5 because "publish, or share their project" could still overlap with generic git-publish or backup skills; not 3 because the scoping is much tighter than a bare domain mention.
