ideogram-security-basics
Apply Ideogram security best practices for API key management and access control. Use when securing API keys, implementing key rotation, or auditing Ideogram security configuration. Trigger with phrases like "ideogram security", "ideogram secrets", "secure ideogram", "ideogram API key security", "ideogram key rotation".

Discovery
89%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 is a well-structured skill description that clearly defines its scope (Ideogram API key security), provides explicit trigger conditions, and includes natural user phrases. Its main weakness is that the specific capabilities listed are somewhat high-level—terms like 'best practices' and 'access control' could be more concrete with specific actions. Overall, it performs well across all dimensions.
Suggestions
Replace 'best practices' with more concrete actions, e.g., 'Store API keys in environment variables, configure key rotation schedules, audit key usage logs' to improve specificity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (Ideogram API key security) and some actions (API key management, access control, key rotation, auditing), but the actions are somewhat generic and not deeply concrete—e.g., it doesn't specify what 'best practices' entail or what specific operations are performed. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (apply Ideogram security best practices for API key management and access control) and 'when' (securing API keys, implementing key rotation, auditing security configuration), with explicit trigger phrases provided. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Explicitly lists natural trigger phrases like 'ideogram security', 'ideogram secrets', 'secure ideogram', 'ideogram API key security', 'ideogram key rotation'. These are terms a user would naturally use when seeking this functionality, with good variation coverage. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly specific to Ideogram API key security, which is a narrow niche. The repeated 'Ideogram' qualifier and security-specific focus make it very unlikely to conflict with general security skills or other Ideogram skills (e.g., image generation). | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a solid, actionable security skill with executable code examples and clear workflows including validation steps. Its main weakness is length — several sections (proxy pattern, prompt sanitization) could be split into referenced files to improve token efficiency. Minor verbosity in prerequisites and output sections adds tokens without value.
Suggestions
Move the proxy pattern and prompt sanitization code into separate referenced files (e.g., PROXY.md, SANITIZATION.md) to reduce the main skill's token footprint.
Remove the 'Prerequisites' and 'Output' sections — Claude doesn't need to be told about environment variables, and the output section just restates the content.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is mostly efficient with concrete code examples, but includes some unnecessary sections like 'Prerequisites' (Claude knows what env vars are), the 'Output' section which just restates what was already covered, and some light over-explanation. The prompt sanitization section is arguably beyond the core scope of API key security. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Fully executable code examples throughout — bash scripts, TypeScript functions, curl commands, and git hooks are all copy-paste ready with specific Ideogram API endpoints, headers, and payload structures. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The key rotation procedure is clearly sequenced with numbered steps including verification (curl check for HTTP status code) before proceeding to delete the old key. The overall flow from storage → rotation → exposure prevention → pre-commit hooks → sanitization is logical with explicit validation checkpoints. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is well-structured with clear headings and a security checklist, but it's fairly long and monolithic. The proxy pattern, prompt sanitization, and pre-commit hook sections could be referenced as separate files. The 'Next Steps' reference to `ideogram-prod-checklist` is good but the inline content is heavy. | 2 / 3 |
