manage-delegates

Monitor and manage Harness Delegates via MCP. List delegates and check health status, manage delegate registration tokens (create, revoke, delete), and find which delegates are associated with a token. Use when asked about delegate status, delegate health, delegate connectivity, delegate tokens, or troubleshooting delegate issues. Trigger phrases: delegate status, delegate health, list delegates, delegate token, delegate connectivity, delegate troubleshooting, delegate down.

Content

87%

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

The body is concise and highly actionable with concrete MCP calls and a useful troubleshooting section. The main gap is the absence of verification checkpoints for destructive token operations (revoke/delete).

Suggestions

Add an explicit verification step after revoke and delete (e.g., re-list tokens to confirm status changed to REVOKED / confirm the token no longer appears) to close the feedback loop for destructive operations.

Before the delete step, note that deletion is irreversible and recommend confirming the token is revoked first, mirroring the 'Deleted tokens cannot be recovered' troubleshooting note into the workflow.

Add a brief preflight check (confirm at least one connected delegate exists) before token creation to align the create workflow with the connectivity checks already present in troubleshooting.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean: tight MCP-tool code blocks and brief prose, with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows — every section earns its place.

3 / 3

Actionability

Each step is a concrete, copy-paste-ready MCP call with named parameters and resource types, matching the 'fully executable; copy-paste ready' anchor.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Steps are clearly sequenced and troubleshooting has diagnostic flows, but destructive operations (revoke, delete) lack explicit verification or feedback checkpoints, which caps workflow clarity at 2 per the destructive-operations guideline.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

A single-purpose, well-organized skill with clearly labeled sections and no need for external references; structure is one level deep and easy to navigate.

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.

The description is specific, complete, and distinctive, with explicit 'Use when' guidance and natural trigger phrases. It clearly conveys both capabilities and invocation conditions without padding.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'List delegates and check health status, manage delegate registration tokens (create, revoke, delete), and find which delegates are associated with a token' — matching the 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (monitor health, manage tokens) and 'when' via an explicit 'Use when asked about...' clause plus trigger phrases, matching the top anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Explicit 'Trigger phrases: delegate status, delegate health, list delegates, delegate token, delegate connectivity, delegate troubleshooting, delegate down' give good coverage of terms a user would naturally say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is narrow and specific — Harness Delegates via MCP with delegate-token-centric operations — making it unlikely to trigger for unrelated skills.
