Validation for skill structure
Activation
7%This description is essentially a placeholder that provides almost no useful information for skill selection. It relies entirely on the skill name without explaining capabilities, use cases, or providing meaningful trigger terms. The redundant trigger terms and generic category reference offer no value for Claude to make informed skill selection decisions.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Generates Express.js route handlers, creates CRUD endpoints, sets up middleware chains, and scaffolds RESTful API structures.'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms: 'Use when creating API endpoints, adding routes to Express apps, building REST APIs, or when user mentions express routes, endpoints, or API handlers.'
Add common file types or patterns: 'Works with .js/.ts route files, router modules, and Express application structures.'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names the tool ('Express Route Generator') without describing any concrete actions. It doesn't explain what the skill actually does - no mention of creating routes, handling HTTP methods, middleware, or any specific capabilities. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the name, and provides no explicit 'when to use' guidance. The 'Triggers on' section just repeats the skill name rather than describing use cases. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant ('express route generator' listed twice) and overly specific. Missing natural variations users would say like 'create API endpoint', 'add route', 'REST endpoint', 'express API', or 'backend route'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'Express' is somewhat specific to the Express.js framework, 'Backend Development' is very broad and could overlap with many other backend skills. The lack of specific capabilities makes it harder to distinguish from other route/API generation tools. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is essentially a placeholder with no substantive content. It describes what an Express route generator skill would do without providing any actual guidance, code examples, or workflows. The content is entirely meta-description with zero actionable information for generating Express routes.
Suggestions
Add executable code examples showing how to generate common Express route patterns (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE with proper middleware)
Include a concrete workflow: 1) Define route structure, 2) Generate boilerplate, 3) Add validation middleware, 4) Test endpoint
Remove all meta-description sections ('Purpose', 'When to Use', 'Example Triggers') and replace with actual route generation patterns and templates
Add specific examples of input (route requirements) and output (generated Express code) to make the skill actionable
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing Claude doesn't already know. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' are meaningless filler with no actionable information. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | Contains zero concrete code, commands, or executable guidance. The entire skill describes what it does in abstract terms without showing how to actually generate Express routes. No examples of route code, patterns, or specific implementations. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. Claims to provide 'step-by-step guidance' but includes no actual steps. There's no sequence, no validation checkpoints, and no process for generating routes. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a flat, repetitive structure with no meaningful organization. Sections like 'When to Use' and 'Example Triggers' contain redundant information. No references to detailed documentation or examples. | 1 / 3 |
