Validation for skill structure
Activation
7%This description is essentially metadata rather than a functional skill description. It provides no information about what actions the skill performs, what problems it solves, or meaningful guidance for when Claude should select it. The redundant trigger terms and lack of concrete capabilities make this ineffective for skill selection.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates, validates, and troubleshoots Alertmanager routing rules, inhibition rules, and receiver configurations'
Include a proper 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'alert routing', 'notification rules', 'prometheus alerting', 'silence alerts', 'alert grouping'
Remove redundant trigger terms and replace with varied, user-natural phrases that cover different ways users might request help with Alertmanager configuration
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description contains no concrete actions - it only states it's an 'auto-activating skill' and mentions trigger phrases. There's no explanation of what the skill actually does with Alertmanager rules config. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' - it only provides category metadata. There's no explanation of capabilities and no meaningful 'when to use' guidance beyond repeating the skill name. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant ('alertmanager rules config' listed twice) and overly technical. Missing natural variations users might say like 'alert rules', 'prometheus alerts', 'alerting configuration', or 'notification rules'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The mention of 'Alertmanager' provides some specificity to distinguish from generic DevOps skills, but without describing actual capabilities, it could still conflict with other monitoring or configuration-related skills. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is essentially a placeholder template with no actual content about Alertmanager rules configuration. It contains only meta-descriptions of what the skill should do without providing any concrete guidance, code examples, YAML configurations, or workflows. Claude already knows what Alertmanager is; this skill adds zero actionable value.
Suggestions
Add concrete Alertmanager rule configuration examples in YAML format showing routing, receivers, and inhibition rules
Include a step-by-step workflow for creating and validating alerting rules (e.g., amtool check-config)
Provide specific examples of common alerting patterns (severity-based routing, team-based routing, silencing)
Remove all boilerplate meta-description and replace with executable configuration snippets and validation commands
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely boilerplate with no actual technical information. It explains what the skill does in abstract terms without providing any concrete Alertmanager configuration guidance, wasting tokens on meta-description rather than actionable content. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | No concrete code, commands, or configuration examples are provided. The skill describes capabilities ('Provides step-by-step guidance') but never actually delivers any guidance, rules syntax, or Alertmanager configuration examples. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. There are no steps for creating alerting rules, no validation checkpoints, and no process for testing or deploying Alertmanager configurations. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a flat, uninformative structure with no references to detailed documentation, examples, or related configuration files. It mentions 'Related Skills' but provides no actual links or navigation to useful resources. | 1 / 3 |
