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 follows best practices. It provides specific concrete actions, comprehensive trigger terms that match practitioner vocabulary, explicit 'Use when...' guidance, and highly distinctive domain-specific terminology that minimizes conflict risk with other skills.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'calculating error rates, aggregating metrics across labels, creating histogram percentiles, writing recording rules, and building SLO burn-rate alerts'. These are precise, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (generate PromQL queries for specific use cases) AND when (explicit 'Use when...' clause covering query creation, monitoring rules, dashboards, metrics types, and monitoring patterns). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'PromQL', 'Prometheus', 'error rates', 'histogram percentiles', 'recording rules', 'SLO', 'burn-rate alerts', 'monitoring', 'alerting', 'dashboards', 'counters, gauges, histograms, summaries', 'RED', 'USE'. These match how practitioners naturally discuss observability. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with clear niche around PromQL and Prometheus specifically. Terms like 'PromQL', 'Prometheus', 'SLO burn-rate', 'RED/USE patterns' are domain-specific and unlikely to conflict with general monitoring or other query language 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 exceptionally well-crafted skill that demonstrates best practices across all dimensions. It provides a clear interactive workflow with validation checkpoints, actionable code examples, efficient use of tokens, and excellent progressive disclosure through well-organized reference files. The skill balances comprehensiveness with conciseness by keeping core patterns inline while deferring detailed documentation to referenced files.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and efficient, assuming Claude's competence with PromQL concepts. No unnecessary explanations of what Prometheus is or how metrics work—it jumps straight to actionable patterns and workflows. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable PromQL examples that are copy-paste ready, including request rate, error rate, P95 latency, burn rate alerts, and YAML snippets for alerting/recording rules. The error handling table gives concrete fixes for specific symptoms. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 7-stage interactive workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints (stage 6 requires invoking validator and re-validating until clean). The validation checklist format and 'fix all issues and re-validate until clean' instruction provides a proper feedback loop. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Excellent structure with a clear overview, core patterns inline, and well-organized references to external files (references/ and assets/) with specific guidance on when to consult each. Navigation is one level deep and clearly signaled with a table mapping scenarios to reference files. | 3 / 3 |
