Implementation

This skill content is almost entirely boilerplate with no actionable guidance. It describes what an APM dashboard skill would do conceptually but provides zero executable code, configuration examples, or specific instructions. The content wastes tokens on explanations Claude doesn't need while failing to deliver the concrete templates and commands that would make this skill useful.

Suggestions

Add complete, executable dashboard configuration examples for at least one platform (e.g., a full Grafana JSON dashboard config or Datadog dashboard definition)
Remove boilerplate sections like 'Prerequisites', 'Instructions', 'Output', 'Error Handling', and 'Resources' that contain only generic placeholder text
Provide specific metric queries and panel configurations (e.g., Prometheus queries for latency percentiles, error rate calculations)
Include a concrete workflow with validation steps, such as how to test the generated configuration before deployment

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Extremely verbose with extensive padding and explanations of concepts Claude already knows. Sections like 'Overview', 'How It Works', 'When to Use This Skill', 'Best Practices', 'Integration', 'Prerequisites', 'Instructions', 'Output', 'Error Handling', and 'Resources' are mostly filler with no actionable content.	1 / 3
Actionability	No concrete code, commands, or executable guidance provided. Examples describe what the skill 'will do' abstractly but never show actual dashboard configurations, JSON schemas, or copy-paste ready templates for Grafana or Datadog.	1 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Steps are vague and abstract ('Identify Requirements', 'Define Dashboard Components', 'Generate Configuration', 'Deploy Dashboard') with no specific instructions, validation checkpoints, or concrete actions. No feedback loops or error recovery guidance.	1 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	Monolithic wall of text with no references to external files for detailed configurations, API references, or platform-specific guides. All content is inline but lacks substance, and 'Resources' section points to nothing specific.	1 / 3

This description has a clear domain focus (APM dashboards) but is undermined by an incomplete sentence ('helps ...') and overly generic trigger terms that would conflict with other creation skills. The 'Use when' clause exists but provides triggers too broad to reliably select this skill over others.

Suggestions

Complete the truncated sentence to fully describe what the skill does (e.g., 'helps configure metrics, set up alerts, and create performance visualizations').
Replace generic triggers ('generate', 'create') with APM-specific phrases like 'monitor application performance', 'track response times', 'observability dashboard', or 'metrics visualization'.
Add specific file types or tool integrations if applicable (e.g., 'Datadog', 'Grafana', 'New Relic') to improve distinctiveness.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the domain (APM dashboards) and mentions 'create' as an action, but the description is incomplete ('helps ...') and doesn't list specific concrete actions like configuring metrics, setting up alerts, or defining visualizations.	2 / 3
Completeness	Has a 'Use when' clause with trigger phrases, but the 'what' portion is incomplete (literally cuts off at 'helps ...'), and the triggers are generic ('generate', 'create') rather than specific to APM dashboards.	2 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Includes some relevant keywords like 'apm dashboard', 'monitoring dashboard', 'application performance', 'generate', 'create', 'scaffold', but missing common variations users might say like 'metrics dashboard', 'observability', 'performance tracking', or specific tool names.	2 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The APM/monitoring dashboard focus provides some distinctiveness, but the generic triggers 'generate', 'create', 'scaffold' would conflict with many other creation-focused skills. The incomplete description weakens its ability to stand out.	2 / 3
