sre-engineer

Defines service level objectives, creates error budget policies, designs incident response procedures, develops capacity models, and produces monitoring configurations and automation scripts for production systems. Use when defining SLIs/SLOs, managing error budgets, building reliable systems at scale, incident management, chaos engineering, toil reduction, or capacity planning.

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 a strong skill description that clearly defines the SRE domain with specific concrete actions and comprehensive trigger terms. It follows the recommended pattern with an explicit 'Use when...' clause and uses third-person voice throughout. The trigger terms cover both acronyms (SLIs/SLOs) and natural language phrases, making it highly discoverable.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'defines service level objectives', 'creates error budget policies', 'designs incident response procedures', 'develops capacity models', 'produces monitoring configurations and automation scripts'. These are all distinct, concrete deliverables.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (defines SLOs, creates error budget policies, designs incident response procedures, develops capacity models, produces monitoring configs) and 'when' with an explicit 'Use when...' clause listing specific trigger scenarios.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes strong natural keywords users would say: 'SLIs/SLOs', 'error budgets', 'incident management', 'chaos engineering', 'toil reduction', 'capacity planning', 'reliable systems at scale', 'monitoring configurations'. These cover the SRE domain well with both acronyms and full terms.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear SRE/reliability engineering niche with highly specific triggers like 'SLIs/SLOs', 'error budgets', 'chaos engineering', and 'toil reduction' that are unlikely to conflict with general DevOps, monitoring, or coding skills.

Implementation

77%

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

This is a strong SRE skill with excellent actionability — the Prometheus rules, PromQL queries, and Python automation script are production-quality and immediately usable. The workflow is well-sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints. The main weaknesses are that the inline examples are quite lengthy for a top-level SKILL.md (reducing conciseness), and the referenced bundle files don't exist to verify the progressive disclosure structure actually works.

Suggestions

Move the longer code examples (Prometheus rules, Python script) into reference files and keep only the SLO calculation example inline, pointing to references for the rest.

Trim the MUST DO / MUST NOT DO lists to only non-obvious constraints that Claude wouldn't infer from the workflow and examples.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is mostly efficient and avoids explaining basic SRE concepts Claude already knows. However, some sections like the constraints lists are somewhat verbose with items that are fairly obvious (e.g., 'Skip postmortems or assign blame'), and the output templates section adds little value beyond what the examples already demonstrate.

2 / 3

Actionability

The skill provides fully executable, copy-paste ready examples: Prometheus alerting rules in valid YAML, PromQL golden signal queries, a complete Python auto-remediation script, and concrete error budget calculations. These are specific, real-world configurations rather than pseudocode or abstract descriptions.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The core workflow is clearly sequenced with six numbered steps. It includes explicit validation checkpoints: 'Verify alignment — Confirm SLO targets reflect user expectations before proceeding' and 'verify recovery meets RTO/RPO targets before marking the experiment complete; validate recovery behavior end-to-end.' The error budget example also demonstrates a feedback loop (budget burn → trigger policy → freeze releases).

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The reference table with 'Load When' guidance is well-structured and clearly signals when to load each reference file. However, no bundle files were provided, so the five referenced files (references/slo-sli-management.md, etc.) cannot be verified to exist. Additionally, the inline examples are quite lengthy (~100 lines of code) and could arguably be split into reference files, keeping the SKILL.md leaner.
