Discovery
32%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 identifies Redis and lists relevant capability categories but lacks specificity in actions and completely omits trigger guidance. While the Redis focus provides some distinctiveness, the absence of a 'Use when...' clause significantly weakens Claude's ability to select this skill appropriately from a large skill library.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause with explicit triggers like 'Use when working with Redis, managing cache, implementing pub/sub messaging, or when the user mentions Redis commands, in-memory data stores, or session caching.'
Replace category labels with specific actions: 'Set and retrieve keys, manage TTLs, publish/subscribe to channels, work with lists/sets/hashes' instead of 'key-value operations, data structure commands'.
Include common user terms and variations: 'redis-cli', 'cache invalidation', 'session storage', 'message broker', '.rdb files' to improve trigger term coverage.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (Redis) and lists several action categories (key-value operations, caching, pub/sub, data structure commands), but these are category labels rather than specific concrete actions like 'set keys', 'subscribe to channels', or 'manage TTLs'. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what the skill does but completely lacks a 'Use when...' clause or any explicit trigger guidance. Per rubric guidelines, missing explicit trigger guidance caps completeness at 2, and this description has no 'when' component at all. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes 'Redis', 'caching', 'pub/sub', and 'key-value' which are relevant terms, but misses common variations users might say like 'cache', 'message queue', 'in-memory database', 'redis-cli', or specific commands like 'SET', 'GET', 'PUBLISH'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | 'Redis' is a distinct technology which helps differentiation, but 'caching' and 'key-value operations' could overlap with other database or caching skills (Memcached, general database skills). The lack of explicit triggers increases conflict risk. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
72%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a concise, well-structured skill that efficiently covers Redis basics without unnecessary explanation. However, it lacks executable code examples (showing only CLI snippets and natural language prompts) and misses validation/error handling guidance for operations like cache flushing. The skill would benefit from more complete, copy-paste ready examples.
Suggestions
Add complete, executable code examples (e.g., Python with redis-py) instead of just CLI snippets and natural language prompts
Include validation steps or confirmation checks before destructive operations like 'Flush cache'
Add error handling guidance or common failure scenarios (connection refused, key not found, etc.)
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient, presenting only essential information without explaining what Redis is or how it works. Every section serves a purpose with no padding. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides some concrete CLI commands but they're incomplete examples. The 'Usage Examples' section shows natural language prompts rather than executable code, and there's no complete workflow showing how to actually perform operations programmatically. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | For a simple skill, the individual commands are clear, but there's no guidance on validation, error handling, or what to do if operations fail. Missing verification steps for potentially destructive operations like 'Flush cache'. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a skill under 50 lines with a single focus, the content is well-organized into logical sections (Setup, Features, Usage Examples, Commands) with clear headers and appropriate brevity. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 10 / 12 Passed |
Validation
81%Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
