Conciseness

The 3-line body ("# My skill" / "What the skill does. Put the instructions the agent needs here.") has no verbosity, padding, or explanations of concepts Claude already knows. It is not a 5 because anchor 5 requires "every token earns its place" — the two placeholder sentences are authoring instructions that deliver nothing to the agent, i.e., a minor instance of content that could be trimmed; it is not a 3 because there is no unnecessary explanation, only placeholder text.

Actionability

"What the skill does. Put the instructions the agent needs here." provides no concrete code, commands, or steps — it is placeholder that only gestures at where instructions would go. This matches anchor 1 ("Entirely vague or abstract; no concrete code or commands; only describes rather than instructs"); even anchor 2's high-level hints about what to do are absent.

Workflow Clarity

No steps or sequence of any kind exist in the body — there is no workflow to evaluate. The simple-skill exception (a single unambiguous action can score 5) does not apply because no action is described at all, so anchor 1 ("Steps missing or incoherent; no sequence") is the best fit.

Progressive Disclosure

The body is 3 lines with no bundle files (references/, scripts/, assets/ are absent) and no file references, so it has zero structural defects — nothing inlined that belongs in a separate file, no buried or nested references. It is not 5 because anchor 5 (and the simple-skill exception, which requires the content to be clear and well-organized) presupposes a clear overview, and a placeholder sentence is not one; it is not 3 because the defects in that anchor (unclearly signaled references, inline content that should be separate) are all absent.

Specificity

The description text — "When to load this skill. Agents read this line to decide whether to load it, so be specific." — is meta-guidance about the description field itself; it names no domain and no concrete actions, matching the anchor "Entirely vague; no concrete actions; pure abstract language" (example: "Helps with documents"). It cannot be a 2 because that anchor requires naming a domain, which this never does.

Completeness

Neither "what does this do" nor "when should it be used" is answered — the text explains how the field is consumed ("Agents read this line to decide whether to load it") rather than what the skill does or when to trigger it. Anchor 1 ("Missing both what and when") applies directly; the 'Use when...' cap at 3 is irrelevant since the score is already at the floor.

Trigger Term Quality

There are no natural keywords or phrases a user would say when needing this skill — the text is template scaffolding, not trigger language. This matches anchor 1 ("No natural keywords; only technical jargon or entirely generic language"); anchor 2 would require at least one or two generic domain keywords, and none are present.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The description is entirely generic placeholder text with no niche, domain, or distinguishing triggers, so it provides no basis for distinguishing this skill from any other — anchor 1 ("Entirely generic; would conflict with virtually any skill"). Anchor 2 would require at least broad domain overlap language such as "Helps with document files," which is absent.
