A highly actionable, code-first skill whose HCL examples are concrete and copy-paste-ready, with good reference-file structure. Its weaknesses are the absence of an explicit provisioning workflow with validation checkpoints (capped at 3 given batch terraform apply/destroy operations) and undefined supporting resources that prevent examples from applying end-to-end.
Suggestions
Add an explicit provisioning workflow section with validation checkpoints, e.g.: 1. Provision VPC, 2. Create cluster, 3. Register task definition, 4. Attach service to ALB, 5. Run `terraform plan` and review before `terraform apply`, 6. Verify service stability with `aws ecs describe-services` — this addresses the workflow_clarity cap.
Define or stub the resources referenced but never provided (var.tags, aws_ecr_repository.app, aws_acm_certificate.app, data.aws_region.current, aws_secretsmanager_secret.db_password) so the examples apply end-to-end, lifting actionability.
Move the auto-scaling, IAM roles, and VPC sections into the existing reference files (or a new one) and trim the Quick Reference table of basic terraform commands, keeping SKILL.md as a lean overview — improving both conciseness and progressive_disclosure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is dominated by dense, executable HCL with almost no prose padding or explanations of concepts Claude already knows, but the Quick Reference table (terraform init/plan/apply/destroy) and parts of Common Commands restate basics, and the VPC section drifts into a separate domain. Efficient with minor trims possible — fits 4, not 5, due to those known-basics sections. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Every section provides complete, syntactically valid, copy-paste-ready HCL resource blocks covering the common cases. It falls short of fully executable because several referenced resources are never defined (var.tags, aws_ecr_repository.app, aws_acm_certificate.app, data.aws_region.current, aws_secretsmanager_secret.db_password), so no example applies end-to-end without gap-filling — minor gaps fitting 4 rather than 3, since the blocks are real code rather than pseudocode. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Sections are organized by resource type with an implicit VPC → cluster → task definition → ALB → service order, but there is no explicit provision sequence and no validation checkpoints — no 'run terraform plan and review before apply' step and no post-apply verification of service stability. Since terraform apply/destroy are batch infrastructure operations, the missing validation/verification caps this at 3 per the rubric guideline; not 4 because the validation gaps are central rather than minor. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Clear section headers plus a 'Detailed Documentation' section with three well-signaled, one-level-deep references (references/cluster-config.md, references/task-definitions.md, references/service-patterns.md), all of which exist in the bundle. Fits 4 rather than 5 because the ~530-line body itself carries substantial detail (auto-scaling, IAM, VPC, full ALB setup) that could be split into the reference files, making SKILL.md more of a full reference than a lean overview; not 3 because the references that exist are clearly signaled and real. | 4 / 5 |
