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 that repeats the skill name without providing any substantive information about capabilities, use cases, or trigger conditions. It lacks concrete actions, natural trigger terms, and explicit guidance on when Claude should select this skill. It would be nearly useless for skill selection among a large set of available skills.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates Grafana dashboard JSON configurations, defines panels, sets up data source queries, configures alerting rules, and manages dashboard variables.'
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms, e.g., 'Use when the user asks about creating or editing Grafana dashboards, monitoring panels, Prometheus/InfluxDB visualizations, or dashboard JSON configuration.'
Remove the redundant repeated trigger term and replace with diverse natural keywords users might say, such as 'Grafana', 'dashboard', 'monitoring dashboard', 'metrics panels', 'dashboard JSON', '.json dashboard config'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description names the domain ('Grafana Dashboard Creator') but provides no concrete actions. There is no mention of what the skill actually does—no specific capabilities like creating panels, configuring data sources, writing JSON models, etc. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the name itself, and there is no explicit 'when should Claude use it' clause. The 'Triggers on' line is just the skill name repeated, not meaningful trigger guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The only trigger terms listed are 'grafana dashboard creator' repeated twice. There are no natural user keywords like 'dashboard', 'monitoring', 'panels', 'Grafana JSON', 'metrics visualization', or other terms a user might naturally say. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The mention of 'Grafana' provides some domain specificity that distinguishes it from generic dashboard or DevOps skills, but the lack of concrete actions or scope means it could still overlap with other Grafana-related or DevOps monitoring 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 is an empty placeholder that provides no actual content for creating Grafana dashboards. It consists entirely of auto-generated boilerplate that repeats the phrase 'grafana dashboard creator' without any concrete instructions, code examples, configurations, or references. It fails on every dimension of the rubric.
Suggestions
Add concrete, executable examples such as a Grafana dashboard JSON model, a Terraform resource for grafana_dashboard, or a Jsonnet/Grafonnet snippet that can be copy-pasted.
Define a clear workflow: e.g., 1) Define datasource, 2) Create dashboard JSON/Jsonnet, 3) Provision via API/Terraform, 4) Validate dashboard loads correctly—with explicit validation steps.
Remove all boilerplate sections (Purpose, When to Use, Example Triggers) that add no actionable information and replace them with actual technical content.
Add references to detailed resources such as a PANELS.md for panel types, a VARIABLES.md for template variables, or link to Grafana's provisioning documentation.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely filler with no substantive information. It explains what the skill does in abstract terms without providing any actual guidance, code, or configurations for creating Grafana dashboards. Every section restates the same vague concept. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is zero concrete, executable guidance. No JSON dashboard models, no Grafana API calls, no Terraform/Jsonnet examples, no panel configuration snippets—nothing a user or Claude could act on to actually create a Grafana dashboard. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow or sequence of steps is defined. The skill claims to provide 'step-by-step guidance' but contains none. There are no validation checkpoints or any process description whatsoever. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a flat, repetitive document with no meaningful structure. There are no references to detailed files, no quick-start section with real content, and no navigation to deeper resources. The sections are boilerplate headings with no substance. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
