aws-solution-architect
Design AWS architectures for startups using serverless patterns and IaC templates. Use when asked to design serverless architecture, create CloudFormation templates, optimize AWS costs, set up CI/CD pipelines, or migrate to AWS. Covers Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, ECS, Aurora, and cost optimization.

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 a well-crafted skill description that excels across all dimensions. It uses third person voice, provides specific concrete actions, includes an explicit 'Use when...' clause with multiple trigger scenarios, and names specific AWS services to create clear distinctiveness. The startup focus and serverless pattern emphasis further differentiate it from generic AWS skills.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'design serverless architecture', 'create CloudFormation templates', 'optimize AWS costs', 'set up CI/CD pipelines', 'migrate to AWS'. Also names specific services: Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, ECS, Aurora. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Design AWS architectures for startups using serverless patterns and IaC templates') and when with explicit 'Use when...' clause listing five specific trigger scenarios. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'serverless architecture', 'CloudFormation templates', 'AWS costs', 'CI/CD pipelines', 'migrate to AWS', plus specific service names like 'Lambda', 'DynamoDB', 'API Gateway' that users commonly reference. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche targeting AWS serverless architecture for startups with specific service mentions. The combination of 'startups', 'serverless patterns', 'IaC templates', and named AWS services creates a distinct profile unlikely to conflict with generic cloud or infrastructure skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a strong, well-structured skill with excellent actionability and workflow clarity. The multi-step deployment process includes proper validation checkpoints and comprehensive error handling. Minor improvements could be made by trimming redundant content in the Quick Start section and condensing the input requirements table.
Suggestions
Consider removing or condensing the Quick Start section as it largely duplicates the workflow examples
The Input Requirements table could be reduced to just the JSON format example, as Claude can infer the requirement descriptions
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is reasonably efficient but includes some unnecessary verbosity, such as the detailed input requirements table that Claude could infer, and explanatory text around examples that could be trimmed. The Quick Start section repeats information already covered in the workflow. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable commands, concrete CloudFormation YAML and CDK TypeScript examples, specific CLI invocations, and copy-paste ready code. The tool usage patterns are clear with explicit input/output specifications. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 6-step workflow with explicit validation checkpoints (Step 2 validation, Step 6 failure handling). Includes detailed error recovery procedures with specific commands for diagnosing and fixing failed deployments, plus common failure causes and solutions. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-structured with clear sections and one-level-deep references to external documentation (architecture_patterns.md, service_selection.md, best_practices.md). Core content is inline with appropriate pointers to detailed references for advanced topics. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
