Conciseness

The body is mostly lean — explaining Obsidian Bases (a 1.8+ feature) is justified rather than padding — but there are minor trimmable redundancies: 'What Obsidian Bases Can Do' restates the intro sentence, 'Before You Start' step 3 overlaps Step 1, and the 1.8+ requirement appears three times (frontmatter, intro, checklist). This fits 'efficient; minor instances of over-explanation' rather than the fully lean anchor 5.

Actionability

Five complete, copy-paste-ready YAML patterns (folder filter, tag filter, multi-filter AND, computed column) plus a filter-operator/function reference, exact target path conventions, and slug naming examples make the guidance fully executable and cover the common dashboard cases, matching the anchor-5 example pattern.

Workflow Clarity

A clear five-step sequence with a final Quality Checklist and a good safety checkpoint ('Ask the user before modifying an existing note'), but validation is checklist-only with no feedback loop — e.g., no step to verify the .base renders in Obsidian or how to check YAML validity before finishing. This matches 'clear sequence with most checkpoints present; minor validation gaps' rather than anchor 5's explicit feedback loops.

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is well-organized with clear section headers and a navigable structure, and at ~170 lines a single file is defensible. However, the YAML pattern library and 'Common Dashboard Recipes' table are natural candidates for a references/ file, which keeps it at 'good structure; most content appropriately placed; minor organization gaps' rather than a fully optimal split.

Specificity

The description names concrete outputs — 'turns vault frontmatter into interactive tables, card galleries, and lists' — but coverage is a single verb family ('create dashboard views') with three view types, rather than the multiple distinct actions of the anchor-5 pattern. It is well above the 1-2-action anchor 3, fitting 'several specific actions; minor gaps in coverage'.

Completeness

Both questions are explicitly answered: 'what' is concrete (Bases turns vault frontmatter into tables, card galleries, and lists) and 'when' is an explicit 'Use this skill when the user says...' clause with concrete trigger phrases, exactly matching the anchor-5 example pattern. Anchor 4's caveat ('when' could be more explicit) does not apply.

Trigger Term Quality

It quotes seven natural user phrasings ('create a dashboard', 'vault dashboard', 'show all X as a table', 'dynamic view', 'create a vault table', 'build a content index', 'show me all concepts/entities/projects') plus a paraphrased intent, giving comprehensive natural-term coverage with synonyms and variations. Neighboring anchor 4 ('a few natural terms missing') does not apply — no obvious variation is absent.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche — Obsidian vault dashboards via a named native feature (Obsidian Bases) — with triggers scoped to vault/wiki/dashboard language, so it is unlikely to fire for unrelated skills. Generic terms like 'create a dashboard' are anchored by 'vault'/'wiki' context throughout, keeping conflict risk minimal.
