Quality

Content

77%

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

Highly actionable content with executable templates and a clear create-then-test workflow including validation. Weaker on conciseness and progressive disclosure due to the large inline catalog that could be split across reference files.

Suggestions

Move some connector templates (e.g., the long tail like Nexus/Artifactory/ServiceNow) into reference files and link them one level deep to reduce inline volume and improve progressive_disclosure.

Remove the duplicated AWS block (the "AWS ECR" section reuses the same Aws type/credentials as the Cloud AWS section) or differentiate it clearly to tighten conciseness.

Fold the "Verify that referenced secrets exist before creating" guidance directly into the numbered workflow step before creation, rather than only in Performance Notes, to make the validation checkpoint fully inline.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient executable templates with inline option comments and no concept over-explanation, but ~330 lines with 11 connector types inline (and a duplicated AWS block) could be tightened or partly offloaded to reference files.

2 / 3

Actionability

Fully executable YAML blocks per connector type with inline valid-option comments, plus exact MCP tool calls and parameters (harness_create, harness_execute test_connection) — copy-paste ready.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear 4-step sequence (identify, generate, create, test) with an explicit validation checkpoint (test_connection) and a Troubleshooting feedback loop for error recovery.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Sections are well-labeled and easy to navigate, but all 11 connector templates live inline in one file with no one-level-deep references; per-type or per-category reference files would improve organization.

Description

100%

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, well-structured description: concrete actions, natural trigger phrases, explicit what-and-when guidance, and a distinct Harness-specific niche. No significant weaknesses to address.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names several concrete actions — "Generate Harness Connector YAML", "create/test via MCP" — rather than vague language, matching the multiple-specific-actions anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers what ("Generate Harness Connector YAML... and create/test via MCP") and when ("Use when user says..."), with an explicit "Use when" clause; third-person voice, no penalty.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Lists natural phrases a user would say — "create connector", "git connector", "aws connector", "docker connector", "cloud connector", "connect Harness to external services" — with good coverage of variations.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Scoped to "Harness Connector YAML" and MCP, with distinct connector-type triggers, making it unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.
