automating-database-backups
tessl i github:jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill automating-database-backupsAutomate database backup processes with scheduling, compression, and encryption. Supports PostgreSQL (pg_dump), MySQL (mysqldump), MongoDB (mongodump), and SQLite. Generates production-ready backup scripts with retention policies and restore procedures. Trigger: "automate database backups", "schedule backups", "create backup script", "disaster recovery".

Implementation
100%This is an excellent skill file that demonstrates best practices across all dimensions. It provides immediately actionable code examples, a clear multi-step workflow with validation, and well-organized progressive disclosure through external references. The error handling table and cron reference add practical value without bloating the main content.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and efficient, providing executable code examples without explaining basic concepts Claude already knows. Every section serves a clear purpose with no padding or unnecessary context. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable bash scripts for all four database types, concrete Python commands with specific flags, and copy-paste ready cron expressions. The step-by-step instructions include exact command-line invocations. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 5-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoint (Step 4: Validate Backup). The workflow includes gathering requirements, generating scripts, scheduling, validating, and creating restore procedures - a complete feedback loop for disaster recovery operations. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-structured with Quick Start for immediate use, detailed Instructions for full workflow, and clear one-level-deep references to database-specific guides in the Resources section. Content is appropriately split between overview and detailed reference materials. | 3 / 3 |

Activation
100%This is a strong skill description that clearly articulates specific capabilities (backup automation with scheduling, compression, encryption), names supported databases and tools, and provides explicit trigger terms. The description uses proper third-person voice and covers both what the skill does and when to use it effectively.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'scheduling, compression, and encryption', names specific tools (pg_dump, mysqldump, mongodump), and mentions outputs like 'production-ready backup scripts with retention policies and restore procedures'. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (automate backup processes with scheduling, compression, encryption, generates scripts) AND when (explicit 'Trigger:' clause with natural phrases like 'automate database backups', 'schedule backups'). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords users would say: 'automate database backups', 'schedule backups', 'create backup script', 'disaster recovery', plus database names (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, SQLite) that users would mention. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche focused specifically on database backup automation with distinct triggers; unlikely to conflict with general database skills or generic scripting skills due to specific backup-related terminology. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
