create-infrastructure

Generate Harness Infrastructure Definition YAML for deployment targets and create via MCP. Use when user says "create infrastructure", "infrastructure definition", "k8s cluster config", "deployment target", or wants to configure where workloads run.

Quality

Content

82%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 highly actionable reference whose templates and troubleshooting make it immediately usable, with a clear prerequisite-first workflow. The main improvements are consolidating the thrice-repeated prerequisite guidance and adding an explicit post-create verification step.

Suggestions

State the connector/environment prerequisite once (e.g., in Instructions) and have Performance Notes/Troubleshooting reference it rather than repeat it, and merge the duplicate releaseName-uniqueness tips.

Add an explicit final workflow step to verify the created resource (e.g., fetch/confirm the infrastructure definition via MCP after creation) to close the validation gap.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dominated by lean, necessary YAML templates with no concept-explanation padding, but the connector/environment prerequisite is stated three times (Instructions step 2, Performance Notes, Troubleshooting) and the releaseName-uniqueness tip twice. This is minor duplication that could be trimmed, fitting the 4 anchor; a 3 would require more substantial over-explanation.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides nine complete, copy-paste-ready YAML templates covering the common cases (K8s Direct/GKE/AKS, ECS, Lambda, Azure Web App, ASG, GCF, Pdc), a concrete MCP invocation with explicit parameters, and error-code-keyed troubleshooting. Fully executable guidance covering the common cases matches the top anchor.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear four-step sequence (identify type, ensure prerequisites, generate YAML, create via MCP) with the prerequisite checkpoint stated upfront and recovery guidance in Troubleshooting. The post-create verification step is only implicit (no explicit validate-the-result checkpoint in the workflow itself), which fits the 4 anchor's 'most checkpoints present, minor validation gaps' rather than the 5 anchor's explicit in-line validation.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Single-file skill with no bundle files present; sections are well-organized with per-type headers, an MCP how-to, examples, and troubleshooting, making navigation easy. The rarer templates (Asg, GoogleCloudFunctions, Pdc, AzureWebApp) are arguably bulk that could sit in a reference file, so it fits the 4 anchor rather than the 5 anchor's ideal split.

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 and well-phrased trigger clause and concrete, jargon-appropriate actions. Its main weaknesses are modest action coverage (no mention of the infrastructure types it supports) and some missing natural synonyms in the trigger list.

Suggestions

Name the supported infrastructure types (e.g., 'for Kubernetes, ECS, Serverless, Azure Web App, and on-prem targets') so the 'what' covers the skill's actual scope.

Add one or two common trigger synonyms such as "set up deployment environment" or "ECS/GKE infrastructure" to broaden natural-term coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Generate Harness Infrastructure Definition YAML for deployment targets and create via MCP" names the domain and two concrete actions, but omits the supported infrastructure types (K8s, ECS, Serverless, Azure Web App) that the skill body actually covers. It matches the anchor for 1-2 concrete but non-comprehensive actions; a 4 would require broader action coverage with only minor gaps.

3 / 5

Completeness

Clearly answers what ("Generate Harness Infrastructure Definition YAML ... and create via MCP") and when ("Use when user says 'create infrastructure', 'infrastructure definition', 'k8s cluster config', 'deployment target'"), with concrete trigger phrases matching the top anchor. Not 4 because the 'when' clause is already fully explicit, not merely adequate.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrases users would actually say — "create infrastructure", "infrastructure definition", "k8s cluster config", "deployment target", "wants to configure where workloads run". Missing common variations such as "GKE", "AKS", "ECS", "serverless", or "deployment environment", so it falls short of comprehensive synonym coverage.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Harness-specific artifact (Infrastructure Definition YAML) and MCP creation path give it a clear niche, but "deployment target" and "configure where workloads run" could overlap with closely related Harness environment/connector skills. Mostly distinct with minor overlap risk, fitting the 4 anchor rather than the minimal-conflict 5.
