Lean step-by-step commands and compact tables with no padding of concepts Claude already knows; every line earns its place. Not level 2 because there is no unnecessary explanation to tighten.

Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands throughout (install, baseline scan, thresholded scan, CSV/XML/HTML output, CI fail script, per-language scope) plus a concrete flag table. Not level 2 because guidance is complete rather than pseudocode.

Steps 1-6 are clearly sequenced and Step 5 includes an explicit validation checkpoint (capture $EXIT, branch on non-zero, fail CI). Not level 2 because the error-recovery feedback loop is present.

A single well-organized file with clear section headers and one one-level-deep external reference (the Lizard README); no nested references. Not level 2 because organization is clean and navigation is easy.

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'enforce per-function cyclomatic complexity (CCN), NLOC, and parameter-count thresholds' — matching the highest anchor; it is not level 2 because the actions are comprehensive rather than partial.

Explicitly answers both what ('Run Lizard against production source to enforce...thresholds') and when ('Use when a codebase spans several languages...or when a function has grown unreviewable'); not level 2 because the trigger clause is explicit, not merely implied.

Covers natural developer terms a user would say — 'complexity gate', 'cyclomatic complexity', 'numeric threshold in CI', 'codebase spans several languages', 'function has grown unreviewable'; not level 2 because common variations are well covered.

Occupies a clear niche (Lizard/CCN complexity gating) with distinct triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills; not level 2 because the scope and tool are specific rather than overlapping.
