The body adds only domain-specific facilitation content (cohorts, tours, triage labels, scoring) and never explains concepts Claude already knows; it uses compact tables, checklists, and templates rather than prose padding, so every section earns its place. It is not the level below because there is no unnecessary explanation or generic library/background filler to tighten.

Provides copy-paste-ready markdown templates for every phase — the pre-bash kit (Step 1), the time-boxed in-bash schedule (Step 2), the backlog-board column schema (Step 3), the points table (Step 4), the debrief template (Step 5), and the async mini-charter (Step 6) — with concrete repro examples and named triage labels. It is not the level below because the guidance is executable templates rather than pseudocode or vague direction.

A clearly sequenced six-step process anchored to a timeline ('1 week before' → kickoff/mid-bash huddle/wrap → 'within 24 hours'), with checklists (test-data prep, action items) and explicit checkpoints like 'Verify staging is at the right SHA; tag artifact' and per-owner follow-up timeframes. It is not the level below because checkpoints and the sequence are explicit, not implicit; a bug-bash facilitation flow is also not a destructive/batch operation that would require a validate-fix-retry loop.

The skill is well-organized into clearly navigable sections (Overview, When to use, Steps 1-6, Anti-patterns, Limitations, References) and its References section clearly signals three related skills (exploratory-tours-reference, manual-test-debrief, synthetic-data-tool-selector), but no bundle files exist and the ~250-line body keeps all large templates inline with no file-level split. It is not the level above because nothing is appropriately split into one-level-deep reference files, and not the level below because it is well-sectioned with clearly signaled references rather than a monolithic wall or nested pointers.

Lists multiple concrete actions across phases — 'pre-bash kit (charter, test-data prep, environment setup, sign-up sheet)', 'in-bash structure (role rotation across cohorts, shared backlog board, real-time triage)', 'scoring rubric (severity weighting, novelty bonus)', and 'post-bash same-day wrap-up' — matching the 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor; not the level below because it is comprehensive rather than naming only a domain and some actions.

Explicitly answers both what (the kit/structure/scoring/debrief components) and when via an explicit 'Use when a team needs a coordinated multi-tester sweep before a release or after a major change' clause; not the level below because the when-trigger is stated explicitly rather than merely implied.

Uses natural terms a team would actually say — 'bug-bash', 'coordinated multi-tester sweep', 'before a release or after a major change', and the ad-hoc phrasing 'everyone test for an hour' — giving good coverage of common variations; not the level below because it includes the everyday trigger phrasing rather than only narrow jargon.

Occupies a clear niche (facilitated multi-tester bug bash) and actively disambiguates with 'not a standalone debrief: for post-session writeups without a live bash, use manual-test-debrief', so it is unlikely to trigger for the wrong skill; not the level below because the niche and boundary are explicit rather than merely 'somewhat specific'.
