dba-ops-runbook

Troubleshoot database/infra errors, compose commands/scripts, write runbook tutorials, capacity planning for DBA, SysOps, DevOps. Covers PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, ClickHouse, Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, Linux log management, cron, logrotate. Uses MCP connectors (context7, deepwiki, ClickHouse Docs) for up-to-date official docs. Command and Script output is caveman-compressed (telegraphic prose, byte-exact code); Tutorial and Plan stay full prose. Trigger whenever the user mentions DBA, SysOps, DevOps, or infrastructure — error diagnosis, shell commands/scripts, cron expressions, log rotation, capacity estimation, migration planning, access/auth troubleshooting, or any operational database/infrastructure task. Also trigger on pasted database errors, stack traces, or log snippets. Trigger phrases: "compose a tutorial", "write a runbook", "fix this cron", "how to restore/enable", "compose a command/script", topic sizing, retention, partitions, replication, cluster planning.

Quality

Content

92%

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

A tightly written, highly actionable operational runbook with executable commands, clear sequencing, and feedback loops — its one gap is progressive disclosure: everything lives in one long SKILL.md with no references to split-out detail files.

Suggestions

Move the per-technology connector routing detail (the Routing table and the 'Repos by name' / context7-vs-deepwiki notes) into a references/CONNECTORS.md and link to it, keeping SKILL.md as a concise overview.

Extract the full Explainer worked example (the Kafka connection-refused walkthrough) into references/EXPLAINER_EXAMPLES.md, leaving the 5-step structure and a one-line pointer inline.

Consider a references/OUTPUT_MODES.md for the mode table and caveman/Check rules so the top-level file surfaces only precedence and mode selection.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Dense telegraphic prose and tables that assume Claude's competence — it never explains what PostgreSQL, cron, or Kafka are — and the 'caveman' compression ('shrink the mouth, not the brain') keeps every token operational, matching the 'lean and efficient; every token earns its place' anchor.

3 / 3

Actionability

Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands throughout — `find /opt/kafka/logs -name '*.log.2*' -type f -mtime +7 -delete`, `sudo ss -ltnp | grep 9092`, `SELECT database, table, absolute_delay FROM system.replicas WHERE absolute_delay > 0;` — plus concrete connector tool chains (`resolve-library-id → query-docs`), matching the 'fully executable code/commands' anchor.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Multi-step processes are explicitly sequenced with checkpoints: MCP-first routing, output-mode precedence, and the Explainer's probe→branch decision tree; feedback loops are present ('hits about building/contributing... = missed query → reformulate or fall back') and destructive ops carry safety checks (cron 'Dry-run: swap `-delete` → `-print`', Tutorial 'verification' step).

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is a single 174-line file with no bundle files and no one-level-deep references; it is well-sectioned (not a monolithic wall) but content such as the full Explainer example and per-technology routing is inline rather than split into referenced files, so it does not meet the score-3 'well-signaled one-level-deep references' anchor and the under-50-line simple-skill exception does not apply.

Description

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.

A strong, explicit description: it names concrete capabilities, lists technologies, and provides explicit trigger guidance in the user's own vocabulary. Its only weakness is verbosity — the description is long and could be tightened without losing any scored capability.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions — 'Troubleshoot database/infra errors, compose commands/scripts, write runbook tutorials, capacity planning' — across a named tech set, matching the 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor; third-person imperative voice, no first/second person, so no specificity penalty.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (troubleshoot/compose/runbook/capacity across listed techs) and when — 'Trigger whenever the user mentions DBA, SysOps, DevOps, or infrastructure' and 'Also trigger on pasted database errors, stack traces, or log snippets' — matching the 'clearly answers both what AND when with explicit triggers' anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Natural trigger phrases a user would actually say are present verbatim — 'compose a tutorial', 'write a runbook', 'fix this cron', 'how to restore/enable', 'compose a command/script' — alongside 'DBA, SysOps, DevOps, infrastructure' and 'cron expressions, log rotation', giving good coverage of common variations.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear DBA/SysOps/DevOps operational niche with distinctive triggers (cron escaping, logrotate, capacity planning, pasted stack traces) unlikely to fire for unrelated skills, matching the 'clear niche with distinct triggers' anchor.
