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 severely underdeveloped, essentially just naming the skill without explaining its capabilities or providing meaningful trigger guidance. It lacks any concrete actions, has redundant trigger terms, and provides no context for when Claude should select this skill over others in a multi-skill environment.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates, configures, and manages Amazon EKS cluster configurations including node groups, networking, and IAM roles'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger scenarios like 'Use when setting up Kubernetes on AWS, configuring EKS node pools, or managing cluster autoscaling'
Expand trigger terms to include variations users would naturally say: 'EKS', 'Kubernetes AWS', 'K8s cluster', 'eksctl', 'managed Kubernetes', 'container orchestration AWS'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only mentions 'eks cluster config' without describing any concrete actions. It doesn't explain what the skill actually does - no verbs like 'create', 'configure', 'deploy', or 'manage' are present. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond naming itself, and the 'when' guidance is just a repetition of the skill name rather than meaningful trigger scenarios. No 'Use when...' clause or equivalent is present. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant ('eks cluster config' listed twice) and miss common variations users might say like 'EKS setup', 'Kubernetes cluster AWS', 'eksctl', 'cluster configuration', or 'EKS deployment'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'EKS cluster config' is somewhat specific to AWS EKS, the lack of detail about what aspects of EKS configuration it handles could cause overlap with other AWS or Kubernetes skills. The mention of 'AWS Skills' category provides some context. | 2 / 3 |

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 content is a placeholder template with no actual EKS cluster configuration guidance. It contains only meta-descriptions of what the skill should do without any concrete commands, code examples, configuration snippets, or workflow steps. The content provides zero value for someone actually trying to configure an EKS cluster.
Suggestions
Add concrete eksctl or terraform commands for cluster creation (e.g., `eksctl create cluster --name my-cluster --region us-west-2 --nodegroup-name standard-workers`)
Include a step-by-step workflow with validation checkpoints: create cluster -> configure kubectl -> verify nodes -> deploy test workload
Provide example cluster configuration YAML files for common scenarios (dev, production, multi-AZ)
Add references to related documentation for advanced topics like IAM roles for service accounts, VPC configuration, and managed node groups
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely boilerplate with no actual EKS cluster configuration 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, or specific EKS configuration examples are provided. The content only describes what the skill 'could' do rather than providing executable guidance like eksctl commands, YAML configurations, or terraform examples. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow steps are defined for EKS cluster configuration. Missing critical steps like cluster creation, node group setup, IAM role configuration, kubectl setup, and validation checkpoints that would be essential for this task. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | No structure for progressive disclosure exists. There are no references to detailed documentation, no links to specific configuration guides, and no organization of content by complexity or use case. | 1 / 3 |
