outbound-ip

Get the current public/outbound IP address of this machine using a reliable shell workflow with multiple fallback endpoints. Use when users ask for outbound IP, public IP, WAN IP, egress IP, or need IP checks before firewall/network allowlisting.

Quality

Content

64%

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

A concise, well-structured skill that efficiently communicates the task. Its main weakness is that the referenced helper script is not bundled, making the actionability dependent on an external file that cannot be verified. Adding a lightweight validation step (e.g., regex-check the output is a valid IP) would strengthen the workflow.

Suggestions

Include the `scripts/get_outbound_ip.sh` script in the bundle so the skill is fully self-contained and executable.

Add a brief validation step in the workflow, e.g., 'Verify the output matches a valid IPv4/IPv6 pattern before returning it to the user.'

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Very lean and efficient. No unnecessary explanations—assumes Claude knows what a public IP is, what HTTPS endpoints are, etc. Every line adds value.

3 / 3

Actionability

References a concrete script path and provides CLI flags, but the script itself is not shown or bundled, so Claude cannot verify or execute the actual logic. The guidance is specific but not fully self-contained or copy-paste ready.

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The two-step workflow (run script, return result) is clear, and error handling is mentioned ('report the error'), but there's no explicit validation checkpoint—e.g., verifying the output is a valid IP before returning it. For a simple task this is mostly adequate but lacks a validation/feedback step.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

References `scripts/get_outbound_ip.sh` which is a good structural choice, but no bundle files are provided, so the reference is unverifiable. The skill is short enough that no further splitting is needed, but the missing bundle file weakens the disclosure structure.

Description

89%

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 strong skill description that clearly defines its purpose and provides an explicit 'Use when' clause with excellent trigger term coverage. The only minor weakness is that the capability description is somewhat narrow (single action: get IP address), though this is appropriate given the focused nature of the skill. Overall, it would perform well in a multi-skill selection scenario.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

It names the domain (public IP address retrieval) and describes the approach ('reliable shell workflow with multiple fallback endpoints'), but it only describes one core action (get the IP address) rather than listing multiple specific concrete actions.

2 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (get the current public/outbound IP address using a shell workflow with fallback endpoints) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when' clause listing specific trigger scenarios including allowlisting use cases).

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'outbound IP', 'public IP', 'WAN IP', 'egress IP', 'IP checks', 'firewall', 'network allowlisting'. These are all terms a user would naturally use when needing this skill.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Very specific niche — public IP address retrieval via shell — with distinct trigger terms like 'WAN IP', 'egress IP', and 'allowlisting' that are unlikely to conflict with other skills.
