Conciseness

The body is a lean six-step workflow with commands, a question-options table, and no explanation of concepts Claude already knows (e.g., no git/gh tutorials); every section earns its tokens. It is not 4 because there are essentially no passages of over-explanation to trim — even the base-detection prose is non-obvious project-specific behavior.

Actionability

Concrete executable commands are given throughout: `git fetch origin`, `bash .agents/skills/open-pr/scripts/detect-base-branch.sh`, and a complete `gh pr create` invocation with flags and heredoc, plus a table of AskQuestion options. It is not 5 because the title format is delegated to the `pr` skill and the body uses placeholders (`<detected-base>`, `<FILLED_TEMPLATE>`) without a filled example; it is not 3 because the commands themselves are real and copy-paste executable, not pseudocode.

Workflow Clarity

A clear numbered 1-6 sequence with most checkpoints present: push-first-if-needed, "Verify the available labels with the PR template", and "Tell the user the result" after base detection. It is not 5 because there are no error-recovery or feedback steps (e.g., what to do if base detection or `gh pr create` fails); it is not 3 because checkpoints are explicit rather than missing, and the operation (draft PR) is neither destructive nor batch, so no cap applies.

Progressive Disclosure

A short, well-sectioned overview that keeps only workflow-level content inline and points one level deep to a real bundle file (`scripts/detect-base-branch.sh`, verified present and matching the described behavior) and to sibling skills (`pr`, `canary`) for details. It is not 4 because navigation is clean and nothing that belongs in a separate file is inlined.

Specificity

"Opens a pull request from the current branch using the PR template" names the domain and one concrete action (open a PR via the template), matching the anchor for 1-2 concrete actions without comprehensive coverage. It is not 4 because it does not list several specific actions (e.g., base-branch detection, labeling, draft creation) that the skill actually performs, and not 2 because the action named is concrete rather than generic.

Completeness

It explicitly answers what ("Opens a pull request from the current branch using the PR template") and when ("Use when the user asks to open a PR, create a pull request, or invokes /open-pr") with concrete trigger phrases, matching the top anchor. It is not 4 because the 'when' clause is already explicit and specific rather than needing more detail.

Trigger Term Quality

"Use when the user asks to open a PR, create a pull request, or invokes /open-pr" covers the natural phrases users would say plus the slash-command trigger. It is not 5 because common synonyms like "submit a PR" or "raise a PR" are absent, and not 3 because the included terms are natural user phrasings rather than mere domain keywords.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

PR creation is a clear niche with distinct triggers ("open a PR", "create a pull request", "/open-pr"), giving minimal conflict risk with other skills. It is not 4 because the triggers are specific to this one operation and would not plausibly fire a different skill.
