clerk-multi-env-setup
Configure Clerk for multiple environments (dev, staging, production). Use when setting up environment-specific configurations, managing multiple Clerk instances, or implementing environment promotion. Trigger with phrases like "clerk environments", "clerk staging", "clerk dev prod", "clerk multi-environment".

Discovery
89%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 well-structured skill description that clearly identifies its niche (Clerk multi-environment configuration) and provides explicit trigger guidance. The 'Use when' and 'Trigger with phrases' clauses are strong. The main weakness is that the specific capabilities could be more concrete—listing actual actions like configuring API keys, syncing settings, or managing webhook endpoints would strengthen the specificity dimension.
Suggestions
Add more concrete actions to the capability list, e.g., 'configure environment-specific API keys, sync webhook endpoints, manage publishable/secret keys per stage' to improve specificity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (Clerk multi-environment configuration) and some actions (setting up environment-specific configurations, managing multiple instances, implementing environment promotion), but doesn't list concrete specific actions like 'create API keys per environment' or 'sync webhook endpoints across stages'. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (configure Clerk for multiple environments, manage instances, implement environment promotion) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when' clause with triggers, plus a 'Trigger with phrases like' section providing concrete activation terms). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural trigger phrases users would say: 'clerk environments', 'clerk staging', 'clerk dev prod', 'clerk multi-environment'. Also includes natural terms like 'environment-specific configurations', 'environment promotion', and 'multiple Clerk instances' which cover common user language well. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very specific niche: Clerk authentication service + multi-environment configuration. The combination of 'Clerk' with environment-specific terms makes it highly unlikely to conflict with generic environment management or other auth provider skills. | 3 / 3 |

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, actionable skill with executable code examples covering the full multi-environment setup workflow. The validation step (Step 4) is particularly well done with key mismatch detection and environment safety warnings. The main weakness is that the content is somewhat long for a single file and could benefit from splitting detailed implementations into supporting bundle files, and minor verbosity in sections like Prerequisites and Output.
Suggestions
Consider splitting webhook handler and CI/CD configuration into separate bundle files (e.g., WEBHOOKS.md, CI-CD.md) to reduce the main skill's length and improve progressive disclosure.
Remove the Prerequisites section — Claude can infer these requirements from the instructions themselves.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is mostly efficient and well-structured, but includes some unnecessary elements like the Prerequisites section (Claude knows what's needed) and the Output section which largely restates what the steps already cover. The code examples are appropriately sized but could be slightly tighter. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Fully executable code examples throughout — TypeScript configuration, environment validation, webhook handling, and CI/CD YAML are all copy-paste ready with concrete values and realistic patterns. The error handling table provides specific diagnosis and solutions. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear 6-step sequence with logical progression from instance creation through CI/CD deployment. Step 4 provides explicit validation with key mismatch detection and environment safety checks, creating a feedback loop that catches configuration errors at startup before they cause runtime issues. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is well-organized with clear sections and a table of contents-like flow, but it's a fairly long monolithic file with no bundle files to offload detailed content. The webhook handler and CI/CD config could reasonably be split into separate reference files. The Resources section provides external links but no internal file references. | 2 / 3 |
