resilience-hub-failure-mode-assessment

Runs and interprets AWS Resilience Hub v2 failure mode assessments. Covers starting assessments, understanding findings (severity, categories, recommendations), triaging by achievability, working with AI-generated service functions, and resolving findings. Applies when the user wants to run an assessment, review findings, or understand failure modes, or has a specific finding and asks how to resolve, remediate, or fix it. Does not apply to initial setup (use resilience-hub-getting-started) or FIS experiments.

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

A well-structured skill body that keeps the overview tight and delegates the detailed multi-step SOP to a clearly-signaled one-level-deep reference with strong validation checkpoints. The main workflow section is essentially a pointer, so the body's own actionability is slightly thinner than the bundle as a whole.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Lean body that assumes Claude's AWS knowledge — no padding explaining what Resilience Hub is; the guardrail block on MCP-vs-local loading is justified but could be tightened slightly.	4 / 5
Actionability	Provides concrete commands in troubleshooting (`update-service-function`, `create-service-function-resources`) and specific IAM condition-key guidance, while delegating the core procedure to the referenced SOP; mostly executable with minor gaps in the body itself.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	The referenced assessment-workflow.md lays out a clear 9-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoints (confirm before billable run, poll until SUCCESS/FAILED, 30s/60min throttling guards, require resolution comment) and feedback loops for error recovery.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Body is a concise overview that points to a single one-level-deep, clearly-signaled reference (references/assessment-workflow.md, which exists in the bundle) for the detailed procedure; navigation is easy and content is appropriately split.	5 / 5

Description

92%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 capabilities, gives concrete trigger phrases for when to invoke, and draws explicit boundaries against related skills. Trigger-term coverage is good but could add a few more natural synonyms to reach the top anchor.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'starting assessments, understanding findings (severity, categories, recommendations), triaging by achievability, working with AI-generated service functions, and resolving findings' — giving comprehensive coverage of the domain.	5 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers 'what' (runs/interprets failure mode assessments with enumerated sub-tasks) and 'when' ('Applies when the user wants to run an assessment, review findings... or has a specific finding and asks how to resolve, remediate, or fix it') with concrete trigger phrases.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural phrases a user would say ('run an assessment, review findings, understand failure modes') plus synonyms ('resolve, remediate, or fix it'); strong coverage though a few natural variations are absent and no file-extension triggers apply.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	A clear niche (AWS Resilience Hub v2 failure mode assessments) with an explicit negative boundary — 'Does not apply to initial setup (use resilience-hub-getting-started) or FIS experiments' — minimizing overlap with sibling skills.	5 / 5
