arn-infra-ensure-config

This skill should be used when the user says "ensure config", "check arn infra config", "arn-infra-ensure-config", "verify arn infra setup", or wants to verify that Arness Infra configuration is present for the current project. This skill is primarily consumed as a reference by entry-point skills (arn-infra-wizard, arn-infra-assess) which read the `references/step-0-fast-path.md` reference as Step 0 before proceeding with their workflow.

Quality

Content

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is an efficient delegation hub that points entry-points and direct invocations to the right references with a clear layer sequence. Its main weakness is that validation/feedback checkpoints are delegated to the reference rather than surfaced in the body, leaving workflow_clarity implicit.

Suggestions

Add a one-line checkpoint summary in the body (e.g., "Layer 1 validates the profile, Layer 2 validates the Arness section, Layer 4 writes the cache only after Layers 1–3 pass") so validation gates are explicit without inlining the reference.

Briefly state the failure path when validation fails (fix and re-run) so the feedback loop is visible in the SKILL.md itself rather than only in the reference.

Note when the cache invalidates in the Workflow section so direct invokers know when to expect a full re-validation.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~22-line body is lean, assumes Claude's competence, and avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows; the cache-cost rationale earns its tokens by justifying the non-obvious indirection.

3 / 3

Actionability

Gives a concrete, specific pointer with an explicit ordered sequence ("Read .../ensure-config.md and follow its instructions (Layers 1–3, then Layer 4 cache write)"); under the instruction-only carve-out the absence of inline code is not penalized because the guidance is actionable and copy-ready.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The layer sequence is named and two invocation paths are distinguished (entry-point fast-path vs. direct), but the validation checkpoints and feedback loops live in the delegated reference rather than in the body itself, leaving the checkpoints implicit here.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references (step-0-fast-path.md, ensure-config.md) to verified real files; content is appropriately split across the bundle rather than inlined.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is well-formed: it states concrete capabilities, gives explicit natural-language triggers, answers both what and when, and occupies a distinct niche. It does use third-person voice as the guidelines require.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Quotes multiple concrete actions ("verify that Arness Infra configuration is present", "check arn infra config", "verify arn infra setup") tied to a specific config entity rather than vague language.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (verify Arness Infra config presence) and when (the "should be used when the user says" clause with quoted triggers).

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Lists natural trigger phrases a user would actually say ("ensure config", "check arn infra config", "verify arn infra setup") with good coverage of variations.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Targets a clearly named, niche configuration concern with distinct triggers, making it unlikely to fire for an unrelated skill.
