Validation for skill structure
Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is an excellent skill description that hits all the marks. It provides specific capabilities, explicit 'Use when' guidance, comprehensive trigger terms including both user-facing concepts and API method names, and is clearly distinguishable from other skills through its framework-specific focus on Colyseus 0.17+.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'implementing rooms, schema state sync, client message validation, matchmaking, authentication, reconnection handling, server-side anti-cheat constraints'. These are concrete, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Build authoritative real-time multiplayer servers with Colyseus 0.17+') and when ('Use when implementing rooms, schema state sync...') with explicit trigger guidance and a Keywords section. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'colyseus', 'room lifecycle', 'schema', 'multiplayer', 'websocket', 'matchmaking', 'onJoin', 'onLeave', 'onDrop', 'allowReconnection'. Includes both conceptual terms and API-specific method names. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with clear niche: specifically targets Colyseus 0.17+ framework with version-specific API references (onJoin, onLeave, onDrop, allowReconnection). Unlikely to conflict with generic multiplayer or websocket skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is an excellent skill document that demonstrates strong technical writing. It provides comprehensive, actionable guidance for Colyseus multiplayer development with executable code examples, explicit validation checkpoints, and well-documented anti-patterns with clear consequences. The structure enables quick reference while supporting deeper exploration through referenced materials.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient, assuming Claude's competence with TypeScript and multiplayer concepts. No unnecessary explanations of basic concepts like WebSockets or what multiplayer means—every section provides actionable, specific guidance. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable TypeScript code with complete room implementation, concrete bash commands with expected results, and specific anti-pattern examples showing both BAD and GOOD code patterns that are copy-paste ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The deterministic workflow has clear numbered steps with explicit validation checkpoints (steps 4 and 7) that include specific verification criteria. The workflow covers the full lifecycle from schema definition through multi-client testing with feedback loops for reconnection handling. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-structured with clear sections progressing from principles to workflow to examples to anti-patterns. References to detailed documentation are one level deep and clearly signaled at the end. Content is appropriately split between overview and referenced materials. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
