Discovery
22%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 description uses second person voice ('You are') which violates the style guidelines, and reads more like a persona prompt than a skill description. It lacks concrete actions, explicit trigger conditions, and natural user keywords. The description would struggle to differentiate itself in a large skill library.
Suggestions
Rewrite in third person voice describing capabilities (e.g., 'Creates mock API endpoints, generates realistic response data, simulates error conditions and latency')
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with trigger terms like 'mock API', 'stub endpoint', 'fake server', 'API testing', 'parallel development'
List specific concrete actions such as 'define mock endpoints', 'configure response schemas', 'simulate authentication flows', 'generate sample payloads'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Uses vague language like 'realistic mock services' and 'simulate real API behavior' without listing concrete actions. No specific capabilities like 'create mock endpoints', 'generate response schemas', or 'configure latency simulation' are mentioned. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes a general 'what' (API mocking) but lacks any explicit 'when' clause or trigger guidance. No 'Use when...' statement is present, and the use cases mentioned (development, testing, demos) are too vague to serve as triggers. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Contains some relevant keywords ('API mocking', 'mock services', 'development', 'testing', 'demos') but misses common variations users might say like 'stub', 'fake API', 'mock server', 'API simulation', or specific tools/formats. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The 'API mocking' focus provides some distinction, but terms like 'development' and 'testing' are generic and could overlap with many other skills. Could conflict with general API skills, testing skills, or development workflow skills. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 6 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
42%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill has good structure and appropriate progressive disclosure, but critically lacks actionable content. The instructions are abstract directives rather than concrete guidance, and there are no code examples, specific commands, or executable snippets. The skill essentially tells Claude to 'do mocking things' without showing how.
Suggestions
Add at least one concrete, executable code example showing a basic mock server setup (e.g., using MSW, WireMock, or a simple Express mock)
Replace abstract instructions like 'Clarify the API contract' with specific actions like 'Ask for OpenAPI spec or request/response examples'
Include a minimal working example of a mock route with request/response shapes
Remove the redundant 'Context' section since it repeats information from the description and 'Use this skill when' sections
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is reasonably efficient but includes some unnecessary framing ('You are an API mocking expert...') and context sections that could be trimmed. The 'Use this skill when' and 'Do not use this skill when' sections add value but the 'Context' section is redundant. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides only abstract guidance ('Clarify the API contract', 'Define mock routes') without any concrete code examples, specific commands, or executable snippets. There's no copy-paste ready content - just vague directives. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Instructions are listed as bullet points suggesting a sequence, but there are no explicit validation checkpoints or feedback loops. The workflow lacks specificity about what 'clarify' or 'define' actually means in practice. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill appropriately keeps the overview concise and references a single external resource (implementation-playbook.md) for detailed code samples and templates. This is well-structured one-level-deep disclosure. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 8 / 12 Passed |
