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 repeats the skill name as its only trigger term, provides zero information about what the skill actually does, and lacks any 'Use when...' guidance. It would be nearly useless for Claude to differentiate this skill from others in a large skill library.
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 Grafana dashboards, monitoring panels, Prometheus queries, metrics visualization, or dashboard provisioning.'
Include natural keyword variations users might say, such as 'monitoring dashboard', 'Grafana panel', 'dashboard JSON', 'Prometheus', 'metrics', 'alerting', '.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 title and completely lacks a '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-language variations like 'monitoring dashboard', 'Grafana panel', 'metrics visualization', 'dashboard JSON', or '.json' that users might actually 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 dashboard-related 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 with no substantive content. It contains only generic boilerplate descriptions that could apply to any topic, with zero Grafana-specific knowledge, no executable code, no dashboard JSON examples, no API usage, and no workflow guidance. It provides no value beyond what the skill's title alone conveys.
Suggestions
Add concrete, executable examples of Grafana dashboard JSON models and API calls (e.g., POST to /api/dashboards/db with a complete dashboard payload).
Include a clear multi-step workflow: define datasource → create panels → configure variables → validate dashboard JSON → deploy via API or provisioning, with validation checkpoints.
Provide specific code/configuration examples for common panel types (time series, stat, table, logs) with realistic PromQL/Loki queries.
Remove all generic boilerplate sections (Purpose, When to Use, Example Triggers) and replace with actionable technical content about Grafana dashboard creation patterns.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely filler and boilerplate. It explains nothing Claude doesn't already know, contains no actual technical content about Grafana dashboards, and wastes tokens on generic meta-descriptions like 'Provides step-by-step guidance' without providing any. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is zero actionable content—no code, no commands, no JSON dashboard models, no API calls, no concrete examples of creating a Grafana dashboard. Every section is vague and abstract. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined at all. There are no steps, no sequences, no validation checkpoints. The skill claims to provide 'step-by-step guidance' but contains none. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of generic text with no references to supporting files, no structured navigation, and no bundle files to support it. There is no meaningful content to disclose progressively. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
