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

57%

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

The skill excels at actionability with complete, executable YAML templates for every infrastructure type and clear MCP invocation parameters. However, it suffers from poor progressive disclosure — all 9 templates are inlined creating a long document that would be better served by a reference file. The workflow is adequate but lacks explicit validation checkpoints between steps.

Suggestions

Move the majority of infrastructure type templates to a separate REFERENCE.md file, keeping only 1-2 common examples (e.g., KubernetesDirect and ECS) inline in SKILL.md with links to the full catalog.

Add an explicit validation step in the workflow, e.g., 'Verify connector exists by calling harness_get with resource_type connector before creating infrastructure' with a feedback loop if it fails.

Integrate the troubleshooting items into the workflow as conditional checks rather than listing them separately at the bottom.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is mostly efficient with good YAML templates, but the sheer number of infrastructure type examples (9 templates) makes it lengthy. Some could be consolidated or moved to a reference file. The examples section at the bottom is somewhat redundant given the templates already shown.

2 / 3

Actionability

Every infrastructure type has a complete, copy-paste-ready YAML template with realistic field values. The MCP call parameters are explicitly specified, and the troubleshooting section provides concrete error codes with fixes.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The 4-step workflow at the top is clear and sequenced, but there's no explicit validation checkpoint between generating YAML and creating via MCP. The performance notes mention verifying prerequisites but this isn't integrated into the workflow as a formal validation step with error recovery.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

All 9 infrastructure type templates are inlined in a single monolithic file, making it very long. This content would benefit greatly from splitting templates into a separate reference file, with SKILL.md showing only 1-2 common examples and linking to the rest.

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 solid skill description that clearly identifies its niche (Harness Infrastructure Definition YAML), provides explicit trigger guidance with a 'Use when' clause, and uses distinct terminology that minimizes conflict risk. The main weakness is that the 'what' portion could be more specific about the concrete actions performed beyond generating YAML and creating via MCP.

Suggestions

Expand the specificity of capabilities by listing concrete actions, e.g., 'configure Kubernetes clusters, define connector references, set namespace and release name, specify cloud provider settings'.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

It names the domain (Harness Infrastructure Definition YAML) and mentions some actions ('generate YAML', 'create via MCP'), but doesn't list multiple concrete actions like configuring specific fields, validating schemas, or linking to environments.

2 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (generate Harness Infrastructure Definition YAML for deployment targets and create via MCP) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when' clause with multiple trigger phrases).

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes strong natural trigger terms: 'create infrastructure', 'infrastructure definition', 'k8s cluster config', 'deployment target', and the conceptual phrase 'where workloads run'. These cover multiple natural ways a user might phrase the request.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Highly specific to Harness Infrastructure Definition YAML and MCP creation, with distinct trigger terms like 'k8s cluster config' and 'deployment target' that are unlikely to conflict with other skills.
