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

64%

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

This is a solid, actionable skill that provides concrete MCP tool calls for every operation and includes useful troubleshooting guidance. Its main weaknesses are the repetitive step structure for simple CRUD operations that could be more concise, and the lack of explicit validation/confirmation steps before destructive operations like token revocation and deletion. The troubleshooting section adds genuine operational value.

Suggestions

Add explicit validation checkpoints before destructive operations (revoke/delete): e.g., 'First run get_delegates to see which delegates will be affected, then confirm before proceeding with revoke'

Consolidate the repetitive CRUD steps (get, create, revoke, delete) into a compact reference table with parameter patterns, reserving step-by-step format only for multi-step workflows like troubleshooting

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The content is mostly efficient but has some redundancy. Steps 3-7 follow a very repetitive pattern that could be condensed into a reference table. The performance notes and troubleshooting sections add genuine value, but the step-by-step format for simple CRUD operations is somewhat verbose when a table or compact listing would suffice.

2 / 3

Actionability

Every step provides concrete MCP tool calls with exact parameter names and values. The examples section maps natural language requests to specific actions. The troubleshooting section gives specific diagnostic steps rather than vague advice.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Steps are clearly sequenced and well-labeled, but the numbered steps imply a linear workflow when these are actually independent operations. More critically, destructive operations (revoke, delete) lack validation checkpoints — there's no 'verify which delegates will be affected before revoking' step, and the troubleshooting notes about revocation disconnecting delegates should be surfaced as warnings before those steps.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The content is well-organized with clear sections (instructions, resource types table, examples, troubleshooting), but everything is in a single file. The troubleshooting section and resource type reference could be split into separate files for a cleaner overview, though for a skill of this size (~100 lines of meaningful content) it's borderline acceptable.

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.

This is an excellent skill description that clearly articulates specific capabilities (listing delegates, checking health, managing tokens), provides explicit 'Use when' guidance, and includes a comprehensive list of trigger phrases. It uses proper third-person voice throughout and targets a distinct niche (Harness Delegate management) that minimizes conflict risk with other skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions: list delegates, check health status, manage delegate registration tokens (create, revoke, delete), and find which delegates are associated with a token. These are clear, actionable capabilities.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (monitor and manage Harness Delegates, list delegates, check health, manage tokens) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when...' clause with specific trigger scenarios plus a dedicated trigger phrases list).

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes an explicit list of natural trigger phrases covering common variations: 'delegate status', 'delegate health', 'list delegates', 'delegate token', 'delegate connectivity', 'delegate troubleshooting', 'delegate down'. These are terms users would naturally use.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Highly specific to Harness Delegates and delegate token management via MCP. The domain is narrow and well-defined, making it very unlikely to conflict with other skills.
