Validation for skill structure
Activation
7%This description is severely underdeveloped, functioning more as a label than a useful skill description. It provides no information about what actions the skill enables, uses redundant trigger terms, and lacks any guidance on when Claude should select this skill. The description would be nearly useless for skill selection among multiple DevOps-related skills.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Register services with Consul, query service health, configure service mesh routing, manage key-value store'
Include a proper 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger scenarios, e.g., 'Use when the user needs to register services, check service health, configure Consul agents, or manage service discovery in distributed systems'
Expand trigger terms to include natural variations: 'consul', 'service mesh', 'service registration', 'health checks', 'KV store', 'consul agent', 'service catalog'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names 'Consul Service Discovery' 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 technology, and provides no explicit 'when to use' guidance. The 'Triggers on' section is not a proper 'Use when...' clause with context. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant ('consul service discovery' listed twice) and overly technical. Missing natural variations users might say like 'service mesh', 'service registration', 'health checks', or 'consul agent'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'Consul' is a specific technology that provides some distinctiveness, the lack of detail about what aspects of Consul this covers could cause overlap with other DevOps or infrastructure skills. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill content is essentially an empty template that provides no actual guidance on Consul service discovery. It contains only meta-descriptions of what the skill claims to do without any concrete instructions, code examples, or actionable content. Claude would learn nothing from this skill that it doesn't already know.
Suggestions
Add concrete code examples for Consul service registration (e.g., service definition JSON, registration API calls)
Include specific commands for querying services via Consul DNS or HTTP API with expected outputs
Provide a step-by-step workflow for setting up service discovery including health checks and validation steps
Add examples of common patterns like service mesh integration, health check configurations, and DNS-based discovery
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that provides no actual value. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' are meaningless filler that Claude doesn't need. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is zero concrete guidance - no code, no commands, no specific Consul configurations, no examples of service registration or discovery. The content only describes what the skill claims to do without actually teaching anything. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is provided whatsoever. There are no steps for implementing Consul service discovery, no validation checkpoints, and no actual process to follow. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a shallow placeholder with no substantive information to organize. There are no references to detailed documentation, no links to examples, and no structured navigation to deeper content. | 1 / 3 |
