Discovery
7%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 description is extremely sparse and formulaic, providing almost no useful information about what the skill does or when it should be selected. It reads like auto-generated boilerplate rather than a purposeful description. The repeated trigger term and lack of concrete actions or explicit usage guidance make it nearly useless for skill selection among multiple options.
Suggestions
Add concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Generates docker-compose.yml files with service definitions, networking, volumes, and environment configuration.'
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms, e.g., 'Use when the user asks to create a docker-compose file, set up multi-container Docker applications, define Docker services, or needs help with docker-compose.yml syntax.'
Remove the duplicated trigger term and expand with natural variations users would say, such as 'docker-compose', 'compose file', 'multi-container setup', 'containerize an application'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description says 'Docker Compose Creator' but does not list any concrete actions like 'generates docker-compose.yml files', 'configures services, networks, and volumes', etc. It merely names the skill without describing what it actually does. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The 'what' is barely implied (creates docker compose files?) and the 'when' is missing entirely—there is no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance. Both dimensions are very weak. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The only trigger terms listed are 'docker compose creator' repeated twice. It misses natural user phrases like 'docker-compose.yml', 'docker compose file', 'multi-container setup', 'containerize', 'docker services', etc. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The mention of 'Docker Compose' does narrow the domain somewhat, distinguishing it from generic coding or document skills. However, it could overlap with broader Docker or DevOps skills due to the lack of specific scope definition. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 5 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
0%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill is an empty template/placeholder with no actual content about creating Docker Compose files. It contains no executable code, no YAML examples, no best practices, no workflow steps, and no references to supporting materials. Every section is generic boilerplate that could apply to any topic by swapping the phrase 'docker compose creator.'
Suggestions
Add concrete Docker Compose YAML examples for common use cases (e.g., web app + database, multi-service stack) with copy-paste ready configurations.
Include a clear workflow: 1) Define services, 2) Configure networks/volumes, 3) Set environment variables, 4) Validate with `docker compose config`, 5) Test with `docker compose up`.
Add best practices content specific to Docker Compose: version selection, health checks, restart policies, volume management, environment variable handling, and security considerations.
Remove all boilerplate sections (Purpose, When to Use, Example Triggers) that add no actionable value and replace with actual technical content.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely filler and boilerplate. It explains nothing Claude doesn't already know, repeats 'docker compose creator' excessively, and contains zero substantive information about actually creating Docker Compose files. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There are no concrete instructions, no code examples, no Docker Compose YAML snippets, no commands, and no executable guidance whatsoever. The content only describes what the skill supposedly does in vague, abstract terms. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | There is no workflow, no steps, no sequence, and no validation checkpoints. The phrase 'step-by-step guidance' is mentioned but never delivered. Creating Docker Compose files involves multi-step processes that are entirely absent. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of placeholder text with no structure pointing to detailed references, no linked files, and no meaningful organization. There are no bundle files to support it either. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
