Activation

This description is essentially a placeholder with no substantive content. It repeats the skill name as trigger terms, provides no concrete actions or capabilities, and lacks any guidance on when Claude should select this skill. The 'API Integration' category is too broad to provide meaningful differentiation.

Suggestions

Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Caches API responses locally to reduce redundant calls, stores response data for offline access, and manages cache expiration policies.'

Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'cache API responses', 'store API data', 'reduce API calls', 'offline API access', 'API rate limiting'.

Differentiate from other API skills by specifying the caching focus - mention performance optimization, reducing API costs, or handling rate limits.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	The description contains no concrete actions - only the skill name repeated and a vague category reference. 'API Integration' is abstract and doesn't describe what the skill actually does (e.g., cache responses, store data, reduce API calls).	1 / 3
Completeness	Missing both 'what' and 'when'. There's no explanation of what the skill does beyond its name, and no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent trigger guidance.	1 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	The trigger terms are just the skill name repeated twice ('api response cacher, api response cacher'). No natural user language like 'cache API calls', 'store responses', 'reduce API requests', or 'offline API data'.	1 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	'API Integration' is extremely generic and would conflict with any API-related skill. Nothing distinguishes this from other API tools - no mention of caching behavior, storage, performance optimization, or specific use cases.	1 / 3

Implementation

This skill is an empty template with no actual content about API response caching. It contains only generic boilerplate text that could apply to any skill topic, with no executable code, specific patterns, caching strategies, or implementation details. The skill provides zero value beyond what Claude already knows.

Suggestions

Add concrete code examples showing how to implement API response caching (e.g., using Redis, in-memory cache, or file-based caching with TTL)

Include specific caching patterns: cache-aside, write-through, cache invalidation strategies with executable examples

Define a clear workflow for implementing caching: 1) identify cacheable endpoints, 2) choose cache storage, 3) implement cache key strategy, 4) add TTL/invalidation logic

Remove all generic boilerplate ('provides automated assistance', 'follows best practices') and replace with actual technical content

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing specific about API response caching. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' are filler that Claude doesn't need.	1 / 3
Actionability	No concrete code, commands, or specific implementation guidance is provided. The content describes what the skill does abstractly but never shows how to actually cache API responses.	1 / 3
Workflow Clarity	No workflow, steps, or process is defined. The skill claims to provide 'step-by-step guidance' but contains zero actual steps for implementing API response caching.	1 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	No references to detailed documentation, no code examples to link to, and no structured navigation. The content is a shallow placeholder with no depth to disclose progressively.	1 / 3
