Replace the 5-dimension numeric scoring rubric with a checklist + holistic
verdict system (Save / Improve then Save / Absorb into [X] / Drop).
Key improvements:
- Explicit pre-save checklist: grep skills/ for duplicates, check MEMORY.md,
consider appending to existing skills, confirm reusability
- 4-way verdict instead of binary save/don't-save: adds "Absorb into [X]"
to prevent skill file proliferation, and "Improve then Save" for iterative
refinement
- Verdict-specific confirmation flows tailored to each outcome
- Design rationale explaining why holistic judgment outperforms numeric
scoring with modern frontier models
