22%This description is severely underdeveloped, functioning more as a category label than a useful skill description. It lacks any concrete actions, has minimal trigger term coverage, and provides no explicit guidance on when Claude should select this skill. The description would be nearly useless for skill selection among multiple DevOps-related skills.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Explains Jenkins pipeline concepts, demonstrates Jenkinsfile syntax, covers stages, steps, and declarative vs scripted pipelines'
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'Use when users ask about Jenkins basics, getting started with CI/CD pipelines, Jenkinsfile syntax, or pipeline stages'
Expand trigger terms to include variations users would naturally say: 'Jenkinsfile', 'CI/CD', 'build automation', 'pipeline stages', 'Jenkins tutorial'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description contains no concrete actions - only 'Auto-activating skill for DevOps Basics' which is vague and abstract. No specific capabilities like 'create pipelines', 'configure stages', or 'write Jenkinsfiles' are mentioned. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond categorization, and the 'when' is only implied through trigger terms without explicit guidance like 'Use when...' clause. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Contains 'jenkins pipeline intro' as a trigger term (duplicated), which is somewhat relevant but misses common variations users might say like 'Jenkinsfile', 'CI/CD pipeline', 'Jenkins setup', 'build pipeline', or 'continuous integration'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'Jenkins' provides some specificity, 'DevOps Basics' is generic and could overlap with other CI/CD or DevOps skills. The lack of specific capabilities makes it harder to distinguish from other Jenkins or pipeline-related skills. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is a placeholder template with no actual Jenkins pipeline content. It describes capabilities abstractly without providing any concrete guidance, code examples, or actionable instructions for creating Jenkins pipelines. The content would be useless for helping someone actually implement a Jenkins pipeline.
Suggestions
Add a concrete Jenkinsfile example showing declarative pipeline syntax with stages (build, test, deploy)
Include specific pipeline commands and their purposes (e.g., `pipeline {}`, `agent any`, `stages {}`, `steps {}`)
Provide a quick-start workflow: 1. Create Jenkinsfile, 2. Define stages, 3. Configure triggers, 4. Validate with 'Replay' feature
Remove all generic boilerplate ('provides automated assistance', 'follows best practices') and replace with actual Jenkins-specific content
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing specific about Jenkins pipelines. 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 executable guidance is provided. The skill describes what it does abstractly but never shows how to create a Jenkins pipeline, what syntax to use, or any actual implementation details. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow or steps are defined. The content mentions 'step-by-step guidance' but provides none. There are no validation checkpoints or sequences for creating Jenkins pipelines. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of generic descriptions with no structure pointing to detailed materials. No references to pipeline syntax documentation, Jenkinsfile examples, or related resources. | 1 / 3 |
