replicate-content
Use when publishing, unpublishing, replicating, or activating/deactivating content in AEM 6.5 LTS. Covers Quick Publish, Manage Publication, tree activation, bulk content activation, package replication, workflow-based approval, scheduled activation/deactivation (on/off time), dispatcher flush, and the programmatic Replication Java API for AEM publish instances.

Discovery
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.
This is an excellent skill description that clearly defines its scope, provides comprehensive trigger terms for AEM content publishing workflows, and explicitly states both what it does and when to use it. The description is well-structured with a leading 'Use when' clause followed by detailed coverage of specific capabilities. It uses proper third-person voice throughout.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description lists numerous specific concrete actions: Quick Publish, Manage Publication, tree activation, bulk content activation, package replication, workflow-based approval, scheduled activation/deactivation, dispatcher flush, and the Replication Java API. This is highly specific and comprehensive. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | The description explicitly answers both 'what' (covers Quick Publish, Manage Publication, tree activation, bulk content activation, etc.) and 'when' ('Use when publishing, unpublishing, replicating, or activating/deactivating content in AEM 6.5 LTS'). The 'Use when...' clause is present and explicit. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms a user working with AEM would use: 'publishing', 'unpublishing', 'replicating', 'activating/deactivating', 'Quick Publish', 'Manage Publication', 'tree activation', 'bulk content activation', 'dispatcher flush', 'Replication Java API', 'AEM 6.5 LTS', 'publish instances'. These are all terms an AEM developer or content author would naturally use. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The description is highly specific to AEM 6.5 LTS content publication and replication workflows. The combination of the specific platform (AEM 6.5 LTS) and the specific domain (publishing/replication) creates a clear niche that is unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured, highly actionable skill covering AEM 6.5 LTS content replication comprehensively. Its greatest strengths are the concrete UI paths, executable code examples, and consistent verification checkpoints for each method. The main weaknesses are moderate verbosity in some sections and the inability to confirm referenced bundle files exist, though the progressive disclosure pattern is sound.
Suggestions
Trim explanatory text that Claude already knows, such as 'Content removed from Publish; URLs return 404; Author content preserved' in the Deactivation section — a simple 'Removes content from Publish (404); Author preserved' suffices.
Ensure the referenced files (references/TREE_ACTIVATION.md, references/PACKAGE_REPLICATION.md, references/REPLICATION_API.md) are included in the bundle to support the progressive disclosure structure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Generally efficient with good use of tables and concise section formatting, but some sections include information Claude would already know (e.g., explaining what deactivation means with 'Content removed from Publish; URLs return 404; Author content preserved') and the Asset Replication section adds moderate bulk. The method selector table is well-structured but the overall document could be tightened. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable guidance throughout: specific UI navigation paths (Sites console → select page(s) → Quick Publish), working Java code with @Reference injection, complete curl commands with expected response, specific URLs for admin consoles, and clear verification steps for each method. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Each replication method has a clear sequence with explicit verification checkpoints (✓ Verify steps). The Manage Publication section has a numbered workflow. Tree Activation includes a dry-run-first validation step. Troubleshooting section provides error recovery guidance. The method selector table helps users choose the right workflow upfront. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Good structure with a method selector table and references to external files (TREE_ACTIVATION.md, PACKAGE_REPLICATION.md, REPLICATION_API.md) and related skills. However, no bundle files were provided to confirm these references exist, and the main SKILL.md is fairly long with inline content that could potentially be offloaded. The references are well-signaled and one-level deep, which is good practice. | 2 / 3 |
