Quality

Content

65%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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 skill body with good code examples and a useful reference table, held back by a missing deploy-verification step and example files that cannot be verified against the bundle.

Suggestions

Add an explicit validation/verification step after deploy (e.g., confirm the agent can invoke the tool or check bundle deploy status) to lift workflow_clarity above the destructive-operation cap.

Ensure the referenced examples/ files actually ship in the bundle, or inline the most critical YAML snippets so the guidance is self-contained.

Move the CLI minimum-version note (v0.298.0+) into a clearly labeled requirements note to avoid time-sensitivity penalization.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean body of code blocks, a resource-type table, and short notes that mostly assume Claude's competence; minor explanatory prose ("Without this, you'll get permission errors...") and a version number (v0.298.0+) keep it just below the top anchor.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides executable McpServer code, databricks.yml YAML, a timeout example, and the `databricks bundle deploy` command, but the bulk of resource-type examples are delegated to an examples/ directory rather than being copy-paste inline.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Step 1/2/3 sequence is clear (add MCP server, grant access, deploy), but there is no validation or verification checkpoint before the deploy, so the destructive-deploy cap at 3 applies.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Sections are well organized and references are signaled via a clear file table, but the referenced examples/ files are not present in the bundle to verify, leaving the one-level-deep references unconfirmable.

Description

78%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 description with an explicit Use-when clause and concrete trigger phrases; the main weakness is second-person voice ("your agent") which costs specificity, and an undisambiguated boundary with the create-tools skill.

Suggestions

Rewrite in third person (e.g., "Adds tools to the agent and grants required permissions in databricks.yml") to avoid the second-person specificity penalty.

Add a brief boundary cue distinguishing this from create-tools (e.g., "For creating new resources, see create-tools") to reduce overlap risk.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists concrete actions ("Add tools", "grant required permissions in databricks.yml") with multiple tool-type examples, but second-person voice ("your agent") triggers the -1 specificity penalty, bringing a base 4 down to 3.

3 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (add tools and grant permissions) and when via a "Use when:" clause with four concrete numbered triggers, matching the top anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good coverage of natural phrases users would say, including quoted triggers "add tool", "connect to", "grant permission" and "Permission errors at runtime", though a few synonyms are missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear databricks-agent tooling niche with specific triggers and minimal conflict risk, but the sibling create-tools skill overlap is not disambiguated within the description itself.
