dynamo-interconnect-check

Validate that a Dynamo deployment's NIXL/UCX/NCCL interconnect is ready for disaggregated serving over RDMA/NVLink. Use after recipe-runner brings a deployment up (especially disagg/multi-node) to confirm the KV transport is correct; use troubleshoot for diagnosing already-failed pods.

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

A well-structured, actionable validation skill with executable commands, concrete examples, and appropriate offloading of detail to a reference file and script. Minor conciseness gain available by de-duplicating the Examples command block.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Lean body that assumes Claude's competence without explaining known concepts; the Examples section re-shows commands already in Instructions, a minor redundancy that could be trimmed.	4 / 5
Actionability	Fully executable commands with concrete arguments plus a run_script() protocol example using real values (recipes/qwen3-coder-480b/sglang/disagg, dynamo-demo, qwen-worker-0) covering the common cases copy-paste ready.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Three numbered checks are clearly sequenced and each yields an ok/warn/fail/skipped verdict, with a troubleshooting table linking symptoms to next steps; no explicit validate-then-retry loop, but the skill is itself read-only validation so the destructive-cap does not apply.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	SKILL.md is a clear overview with a well-signaled one-level-deep reference (references/interconnect-env-vars.md for the env var catalog) and script logic split into scripts/check_interconnect.py, both verified as real bundle files, with easy navigation across organized sections.	5 / 5

Description

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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, specific description that clearly states both capability and trigger conditions with concrete domain terms and good boundary guidance against a sibling skill. Minor room to broaden action coverage beyond the single validate/confirm theme.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the domain (Dynamo, NIXL/UCX/NCCL, RDMA/NVLink, disaggregated serving) and concrete actions (validate interconnect readiness, confirm KV transport), but the actions cluster around one validation capability rather than a comprehensive multi-action list.	4 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ('Validate that a Dynamo deployment's NIXL/UCX/NCCL interconnect is ready...to confirm the KV transport is correct') and when ('Use after recipe-runner brings a deployment up (especially disagg/multi-node)') with concrete trigger phrases.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Good domain keyword coverage with natural trigger phrases ('disagg/multi-node', 'KV transport', 'recipe-runner', 'RDMA/NVLink') and synonyms (disagg/disaggregated), though the terms are niche-technical which limits broad natural phrasing.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Clear niche (Dynamo disagg interconnect validation) with distinct triggers and an explicit redirect to a different skill ('use troubleshoot for diagnosing already-failed pods'), minimizing conflict risk.	5 / 5
