Activation
7%This description is severely underdeveloped, providing essentially no useful information beyond the service name. It lacks any concrete actions, meaningful trigger terms, or guidance on when to use the skill. The redundant trigger term and boilerplate category mention add no value for skill selection.
Suggestions
Add specific capabilities like 'Create and configure ElastiCache clusters, set up Redis/Memcached instances, configure replication groups, manage cache parameters'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural triggers: 'Use when setting up AWS caching, creating Redis clusters, configuring Memcached, or optimizing application performance with in-memory caching'
Add varied trigger terms users would naturally say: 'redis', 'memcached', 'cache cluster', 'in-memory cache', 'session store', 'AWS caching'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description contains no concrete actions - it only states 'Elasticache Config' without explaining what operations can be performed (e.g., create clusters, configure replication, set up caching policies). | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond naming the service, and provides no explicit 'when to use' guidance - only redundant trigger keywords without context. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant ('elasticache config' listed twice) and miss natural variations users might say like 'redis cache', 'memcached', 'AWS caching', 'cache cluster', or 'ElastiCache setup'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'elasticache' is a specific AWS service name that provides some distinctiveness, the generic 'config' term and lack of specific capabilities could cause overlap with other AWS configuration skills. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is essentially a placeholder template with no actual ElastiCache configuration content. It describes what a skill should do without providing any actionable guidance, code examples, configuration snippets, or specific AWS ElastiCache knowledge. The entire content could be replaced with actual ElastiCache configuration patterns, CLI commands, and best practices.
Suggestions
Add concrete ElastiCache configuration examples using AWS CLI or CloudFormation/Terraform templates (e.g., creating a Redis cluster, setting up parameter groups)
Include specific guidance on common ElastiCache decisions: Redis vs Memcached, node types, cluster mode enabled vs disabled, replication settings
Provide executable code snippets for connecting to ElastiCache from Lambda or EC2, including security group and VPC configuration
Add a workflow for common tasks like 'setting up ElastiCache for session storage' with validation steps (e.g., testing connectivity, verifying replication)
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing specific about ElastiCache configuration. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' are filler that Claude doesn't need. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | No concrete code, commands, or specific guidance is provided. The skill describes what it does abstractly ('provides step-by-step guidance') but never actually provides any guidance, configuration examples, or executable instructions. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. There are no steps, no sequence, and no validation checkpoints. The content only describes trigger phrases and vague capabilities without any actual process. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a flat, uninformative structure with no references to detailed materials, no links to configuration examples, and no organization beyond generic section headers. | 1 / 3 |
