033-architecture-diagrams

Use when you need to generate Java project diagrams — including UML sequence diagrams, UML class diagrams, C4 model diagrams, UML state machine diagrams, UML Deployment Diagrams, ER (Entity Relationship) diagrams, and bounded-context diagrams — through a modular, step-based interactive process that adapts to your specific visualization needs. This should trigger for requests such as Generate UML diagram; Create sequence diagram; Create class diagram; Create state machine diagram; Create deployment diagram; Create C4 diagram; Create bounded-context diagram; Create context-map diagram.

Quality

Content

85%

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

The content is highly actionable and well-structured, with an explicit multi-step workflow, validation checkpoints, and clean progressive disclosure into real reference files. Its only weakness is moderate duplication between the 'When to use'/'Constraints' sections and the rest of the body.

Suggestions

Remove the standalone 'When to use this skill' list (lines 39-47) since it duplicates the trigger phrasing already in the frontmatter description and the question-flow options.

Consolidate the validation rule so the 'MANDATORY: Run ./mvnw validate' directive appears once, then reference it from Workflow step 1 rather than restating it in the Constraints section.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is mostly efficient with concrete value (interactive question flow, Docker commands, reference mapping), but the standalone 'When to use' section duplicates frontmatter triggers and the validation rule is restated across 'Constraints' and Workflow step 1, so it could be tightened.	2 / 3
Actionability	Provides copy-paste-ready, executable guidance such as 'docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/data" plantuml/plantuml --check-syntax /data/diagrams' plus explicit mvn validate commands and a precise, ordered conditional question flow.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	A clear four-step sequence (validate -> ask questions -> read references and generate -> validate and finalize) includes an explicit stop-on-failure validation checkpoint up front and a final Docker syntax-validation step, forming a proper feedback loop.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	The SKILL.md is a concise overview that splits seven diagram families into one-level-deep reference files, each of which exists and contains no nested references, with a selection-to-reference mapping table providing easy navigation.	3 / 3

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 strong: it states concrete capabilities, lists natural trigger phrases, and explicitly couples a 'Use when' clause with example requests, while occupying a distinct niche. Voice is appropriately third-person and action-oriented, so no specificity penalty applies.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Enumerates seven concrete diagram-generation actions ("UML sequence diagrams, UML class diagrams, C4 model diagrams, UML state machine diagrams, UML Deployment Diagrams, ER ... diagrams, and bounded-context diagrams"), matching the anchor for listing multiple specific concrete actions.	3 / 3
Completeness	Opens with an explicit "Use when you need to generate Java project diagrams" clause and adds "This should trigger for requests such as ...", clearly answering both what the skill does and when to invoke it.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural phrases users would say ("Generate UML diagram; Create sequence diagram; Create class diagram; Create state machine diagram; Create deployment diagram; Create C4 diagram; Create bounded-context diagram; Create context-map diagram"), giving good coverage of natural trigger terms.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Targets a clear niche (Java project architecture diagrams via PlantUML through a step-based interactive process) with distinct diagram-type triggers, making conflict with other skills unlikely.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
