Conciseness

The body is dense and domain-specific with no generic padding (it never explains what Convex or TypeScript is; every line is component-specific), but the boundary rules are stated three times — in the intro ("a component cannot read the parent's tables, ctx.auth, or process.env"), the Boundary rules section, and again across the Common mistakes table and Checklist. The repetition is functional (rules, symptom lookup, checklist) but the overlap between the mistakes table and boundary rules is a genuine trimming opportunity.

Actionability

Every stage ships complete, copy-paste-ready TypeScript: defineComponent, defineSchema with an index, fully validated mutation/query handlers, parent registration with app.use, a typed client wrapper class using Pick ctx types, and authenticated app-side wrappers. Concrete commands (npx convex dev, npx convex codegen), a folder layout, and edge cases (local-only components, a second named instance) are all covered.

Workflow Clarity

The sections follow the actual build order (component vs helper decision → folder layout → config → schema → functions → register → npx convex dev → client wrapper), with an explicit validation checkpoint after registration ("Run npx convex dev. It generates components.counter...") and a closing 10-item checklist including "npx convex dev runs clean" and "Tested through an example app". The Common mistakes table is a symptom → cause → fix feedback loop for error recovery, matching the top anchor.

Progressive Disclosure

The core authoring workflow lives inline while npm publishing detail (exports map, build order, versioning) is split into a real, substantive references/publishing.md that is clearly signaled with a conditional open-trigger: "open it when the component will be installed from a package rather than a local folder." References are one level deep; the assets/ folder holds only non-navigational logo files; section headers make navigation easy.

Specificity

"Creates reusable Convex components with defineComponent, a clean client wrapper, their own schema, and an npm publish setup" names four concrete deliverables that comprehensively cover what the body actually teaches (config, schema, functions, wrapper, publishing). It matches the top anchor (multiple specific concrete actions, comprehensive) rather than the 4 anchor, which requires minor coverage gaps.

Completeness

It explicitly answers what ("Creates reusable Convex components with defineComponent, a clean client wrapper, their own schema, and an npm publish setup") and when, via an explicit "Use when..." clause with three concrete trigger scenarios including a debugging symptom. This matches the top anchor exactly; the 4 anchor requires a less explicit 'when', which does not apply.

Trigger Term Quality

Natural user phrasings are present — "extracting a feature into a package", "building something for the Convex component directory", and especially the debugging symptom "a component's functions are not showing up in the parent app". A few natural synonyms are missing (e.g. "publish a Convex component to npm" as a user request, "reusable backend package", file-level triggers like convex.config.ts), so it sits at the good-coverage anchor rather than the comprehensive one.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"Convex components", "defineComponent", and "the Convex component directory" carve out a clear niche with distinct triggers; only a generic npm-package-authoring skill could remotely overlap, and the Convex-specific vocabulary keeps it distinguishable. Minimal conflict risk.
