78%Weight 40%Scale 1-5Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A highly actionable, well-structured query skill: executable DQL examples cover the common cases, domain-specific pitfalls are documented with fixes, and advanced topics are properly deferred to real, clearly-signaled reference files. The main weakness is repetition — several rules and examples are stated two or three times across Best Practices, Standard Query Pattern, and Troubleshooting.
Suggestions
State the not(dt.davis.is_duplicate) rule once (e.g., in Standard Query Pattern's key components) and reference it from Best Practices and Troubleshooting instead of re-explaining it in all three places.
Drop the duplicated good/bad time-range examples in the Time Range Guidelines section, since the Standard Query Pattern and Essential Fields sections already demonstrate correct from:now() - <duration> usage.
Trim the 'What are Problems?' bullet list, which largely restates the Overview paragraph immediately above it, keeping only the points that add new information (alert-noise reduction and lifecycle tracking).
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Mostly efficient — the content is dense with Dynatrace-specific facts Claude would not know (field-name corrections, "OPEN" does not exist, dt.smartscape_source.id is null on problems). However, the duplicate-filter rule is explained in Standard Query Pattern, Best Practices, and Troubleshooting; good/bad time-range examples appear twice; and the "What are Problems?" bullets restate the Overview paragraph. Matches 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' rather than the 'noticeably verbose' anchor, since the padding is repetition of useful rules, not generic filler. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Roughly fifteen complete, executable DQL queries with concrete field names covering the common cases (active listing, category counts, high-impact, specific problem, service history, root cause, blast radius, recurring causes, Kubernetes), plus a wrong-vs-correct field-name table and a cause/solution troubleshooting table. Copy-paste ready. | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A standard foundation pattern ("Always start problem queries with this foundation"), incremental-build checkpoints ("Add one filter or field at a time", "Run with | limit 1 to verify field names exist"), and a troubleshooting table for error recovery. Not 5 because there is no explicitly sequenced numbered workflow with validation after each step; better than 3 since checkpoints and recovery guidance are both stated and queries are read-only (no destructive-batch cap applies). | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Four references, all verified to exist and one level deep, with a dedicated "When to Load References" section giving per-file load conditions. Core query patterns stay inline while trending, correlation, impact, and merging are appropriately split into referenced files, and a References list plus Related Skills close out navigation. Clear overview with well-signaled, easy-to-navigate references. | 5 / 5 |
