Validation for skill structure
Activation
7%This description is severely underdeveloped, consisting mostly of metadata rather than actionable content. It fails to describe what the skill actually does, provides no natural trigger terms beyond the skill name repeated, and lacks any 'Use when' guidance. The only distinguishing element is the Ansible keyword itself.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Generates Ansible playbooks for server configuration, application deployment, and infrastructure automation'
Add a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'create ansible playbook', 'automate server setup', 'write yaml playbook', 'infrastructure automation', 'configure servers'
Include common use cases or file types, e.g., 'Use when users need to automate deployments, manage configurations, or create .yml playbook files'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names the tool ('Ansible Playbook Generator') without describing any concrete actions. It doesn't explain what the skill actually does - no verbs like 'creates', 'generates', 'configures', etc. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the name, and has no explicit 'Use when...' clause or equivalent guidance for when Claude should select this skill. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms listed are just 'ansible playbook generator' repeated twice. Missing natural variations users would say like 'create ansible playbook', 'write playbook', 'ansible automation', 'yaml playbook', 'infrastructure as code'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The mention of 'Ansible' provides some specificity that distinguishes it from generic DevOps skills, but 'DevOps Advanced skill category' is vague and could overlap with other infrastructure/automation tools. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is essentially an empty placeholder that provides no actual value. It contains only generic marketing-style descriptions of capabilities without any concrete Ansible playbook examples, YAML syntax, module usage, or workflow guidance. Claude already knows what Ansible is and how to generate playbooks - this skill adds nothing actionable.
Suggestions
Add concrete, executable Ansible playbook examples showing common patterns (e.g., package installation, service management, file templating)
Include specific YAML structure and syntax guidance with copy-paste ready code blocks
Define a clear workflow for playbook generation: gather requirements -> structure roles -> write tasks -> validate with ansible-lint -> test with --check mode
Remove all generic capability descriptions and replace with actual technical content about Ansible best practices, idempotency patterns, and variable management
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing Claude doesn't already know. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' are meaningless filler with zero actionable information. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is no concrete guidance whatsoever - no code examples, no commands, no specific Ansible syntax, no playbook structure. The entire skill describes what it does rather than instructing how to do anything. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. There are no steps, no sequence, no validation checkpoints. The skill mentions 'step-by-step guidance' but provides none. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of vague descriptions with no structure for discovery. No references to detailed materials, examples, or related documentation are provided. | 1 / 3 |
