devops-engineer
Creates Dockerfiles, configures CI/CD pipelines, writes Kubernetes manifests, and generates Terraform/Pulumi infrastructure templates. Handles deployment automation, GitOps configuration, incident response runbooks, and internal developer platform tooling. Use when setting up CI/CD pipelines, containerizing applications, managing infrastructure as code, deploying to Kubernetes clusters, configuring cloud platforms, automating releases, or responding to production incidents. Invoke for pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, GitOps, Terraform, GitHub Actions, on-call, or platform engineering.

Discovery
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 comprehensively covers DevOps and platform engineering capabilities. It uses third person voice correctly, lists specific concrete actions, includes natural trigger terms users would actually say, and provides explicit guidance on when to invoke the skill. The description is thorough without being padded with fluff.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Creates Dockerfiles', 'configures CI/CD pipelines', 'writes Kubernetes manifests', 'generates Terraform/Pulumi infrastructure templates', 'deployment automation', 'GitOps configuration', 'incident response runbooks', and 'internal developer platform tooling'. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (creates Dockerfiles, configures pipelines, writes manifests, etc.) AND when with explicit 'Use when...' clause covering multiple trigger scenarios, plus an additional 'Invoke for...' clause with specific keywords. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'pipelines', 'Docker', 'Kubernetes', 'GitOps', 'Terraform', 'GitHub Actions', 'on-call', 'platform engineering', 'CI/CD', 'containerizing', 'infrastructure as code', 'cloud platforms'. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche in DevOps/platform engineering with highly specific triggers like 'Kubernetes manifests', 'Terraform', 'GitOps', 'incident response runbooks' that are unlikely to conflict with general coding or document skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is an exemplary skill file that demonstrates best practices across all dimensions. It efficiently provides actionable guidance with executable examples, clear workflow sequencing with validation checkpoints, and well-organized progressive disclosure through the reference table. The constraints section provides specific guardrails without being verbose.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and efficient, avoiding explanations of concepts Claude already knows. Each section serves a clear purpose with no padding or unnecessary context about what DevOps is or how tools work. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable, copy-paste ready examples including a complete GitHub Actions workflow, multi-stage Dockerfile with best practices, and rollback commands with verification steps. The constraints are specific and actionable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The core workflow has clear sequencing with explicit validation checkpoints (terraform plan, lint, tests before deploy; smoke tests post-deployment; rollback procedure ready before going live). The rollback procedure example includes verification steps. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Excellent structure with a clear overview, well-organized reference table pointing to topic-specific files with explicit 'Load When' guidance, and inline examples that are appropriately sized. References are one level deep and clearly signaled. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
