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 essentially a placeholder with no substantive content. It names the skill and category but provides zero information about what middleware capabilities it offers, what actions it can perform, or when it should be triggered. The redundant trigger terms and complete absence of a 'Use when' clause make this description ineffective for skill selection.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates Gin middleware for authentication, logging, CORS, rate limiting, and error handling'
Add a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'Use when building Go web APIs with Gin, adding request/response interceptors, or implementing cross-cutting concerns like auth or logging'
Include varied trigger terms users would naturally say: 'gin handler', 'Go middleware', 'request interceptor', 'Gin plugin', 'API middleware'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names the domain ('Gin Middleware Creator') but provides no concrete actions. It doesn't explain what creating middleware involves - no mention of authentication, logging, error handling, or any specific middleware capabilities. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the name, and has no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent guidance for when Claude should select this skill. It's essentially just a title with metadata. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant ('gin middleware creator' listed twice) and overly specific. Missing natural variations users would say like 'middleware', 'gin handler', 'request interceptor', 'gin plugin', or common middleware types like 'auth middleware', 'logging middleware'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'Gin' is a specific Go web framework which provides some distinctiveness, the lack of detail about what kinds of middleware or use cases means it could conflict with general Go skills or other web framework middleware skills. | 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 content is an empty template with no actual substance about Gin middleware creation. It contains only generic boilerplate text that could apply to any skill topic, with no Go code examples, middleware patterns, or specific guidance. The content fails to teach Claude anything actionable about creating Gin middleware.
Suggestions
Add executable Go code examples showing basic Gin middleware structure (e.g., logging middleware, auth middleware) with proper handler signatures and c.Next() usage
Include specific middleware patterns: request/response logging, authentication, rate limiting, error recovery, with copy-paste ready implementations
Provide a clear workflow for middleware creation: define handler -> register with router -> test with example request
Remove all generic boilerplate ('provides automated assistance', 'follows best practices') and replace with concrete Gin-specific guidance
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing specific about Gin middleware. 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 for creating Gin middleware. The content describes what the skill does abstractly but provides zero executable examples or actual implementation details. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow steps are provided. Creating middleware involves specific patterns (handler functions, context usage, Next() calls) but none are mentioned or sequenced. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | No references to detailed documentation, examples, or related files. The content is a shallow placeholder with no structure for discovery or deeper learning. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
