Validation for skill structure
Activation
7%This description is severely underdeveloped, functioning more as a placeholder than a useful skill description. It provides no concrete actions, no meaningful trigger terms, and no guidance on when to use it. The redundant trigger term and boilerplate structure suggest this was auto-generated without human refinement.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Configures database connection pool settings including pool size, timeout values, and connection lifecycle management'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'database connections', 'pool size', 'connection timeout', 'max connections', 'HikariCP', 'c3p0'
Specify the technology context (database type, frameworks) to distinguish from other API or database skills
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names the domain 'connection pooling config' without describing any concrete actions. There are no verbs or specific capabilities listed - it doesn't explain what the skill actually does. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond naming the topic, and provides no 'when should Claude use it' guidance. The 'Triggers on' section just repeats the title without meaningful trigger conditions. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant ('connection pooling config' listed twice) and overly technical. Missing natural variations users might say like 'database connections', 'pool size', 'connection limits', or 'DB pool settings'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'connection pooling' is a specific technical domain, the lack of detail about what aspects it covers (database vs HTTP connections, configuration vs troubleshooting) could cause overlap with database or networking skills. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is an empty template with no actual technical content about connection pooling configuration. It contains only meta-descriptions of what a skill should do without any concrete guidance, code examples, configuration parameters, or implementation details. The content provides zero value for someone needing to configure connection pooling.
Suggestions
Add concrete code examples showing connection pool configuration for common scenarios (e.g., database pools, HTTP client pools) with specific parameters like pool size, timeout, and idle connection handling
Include a clear workflow: 1) Assess requirements, 2) Configure pool parameters, 3) Implement health checks, 4) Validate under load
Provide specific configuration examples for popular libraries/frameworks (e.g., HikariCP, SQLAlchemy, Apache HttpClient) with recommended values
Remove all meta-description content ('This skill provides...', 'Capabilities include...') and replace with actual technical guidance
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely filler text with no actual technical information. It explains what the skill does in abstract terms without providing any concrete guidance, wasting tokens on meta-description rather than actionable content. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | No concrete code, commands, configuration examples, or specific implementation details are provided. The content only describes what it claims to do ('provides step-by-step guidance') without actually providing any guidance. | 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 configuring connection pooling. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | No structure beyond generic headings. No references to detailed documentation, no examples, no links to related resources. The content is a template shell with no real organization of technical content. | 1 / 3 |
