Activation

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 repeated trigger phrase and boilerplate category mention add no value.

Suggestions

Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates Grafana dashboard JSON configurations, sets up panels for metrics visualization, configures alerting rules, and defines data source queries.'

Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms: 'Use when the user needs monitoring dashboards, metrics visualization, Grafana JSON, observability panels, or wants to visualize Prometheus/InfluxDB data.'

Remove the redundant duplicate trigger term and replace with varied natural language users would actually say when needing this skill.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	The description only names the tool ('Grafana Dashboard Creator') without describing any concrete actions. There are no specific capabilities listed like 'create panels', 'configure alerts', or 'set up data sources'.	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' line is redundant (same phrase twice) and doesn't constitute proper usage guidance.	1 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	The only trigger terms listed are 'grafana dashboard creator' repeated twice. Missing natural variations users would say like 'monitoring dashboard', 'metrics visualization', 'Grafana panels', 'observability', or 'dashboard JSON'.	1 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	While 'Grafana' is a specific tool that provides some distinctiveness, the lack of detail about what aspects of Grafana dashboards this handles could cause overlap with other monitoring or DevOps skills.	2 / 3

Implementation

This skill is essentially a placeholder with no substantive content. It describes what a Grafana dashboard creator skill would do without actually providing any instructions, code examples, or actionable guidance. The entire content could be replaced with a single sentence and lose nothing of value.

Suggestions

Add executable JSON examples showing Grafana dashboard panel configurations (time series, stat panels, tables) that can be imported directly

Include a concrete workflow: 1) Define datasource, 2) Create dashboard JSON, 3) Validate with Grafana API, 4) Import/deploy

Provide specific Grafana API commands or Terraform/Helm configurations for dashboard provisioning

Add references to separate files for common dashboard patterns (e.g., KUBERNETES_DASHBOARDS.md, PROMETHEUS_PANELS.md)

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 zero actionable information.	1 / 3
Actionability	No concrete code, commands, or executable guidance whatsoever. The skill describes what it does in abstract terms but provides zero actual instructions for creating Grafana dashboards - no JSON examples, no API calls, no panel configurations.	1 / 3
Workflow Clarity	No workflow is defined. The content mentions 'step-by-step guidance' but provides none. There are no steps, no sequence, and no validation checkpoints for dashboard creation.	1 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	The content is a monolithic block of vague descriptions with no structure for actual learning. No references to detailed materials, no links to examples or API documentation, and no organized sections for different dashboard types or use cases.	1 / 3
