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 fails to describe any concrete capabilities, lacks natural trigger terms users would employ, and provides no guidance on when Claude should select this skill. The only slight positive is that 'Kubernetes Configmap' at least identifies a specific domain niche.
Suggestions
Add concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates, updates, validates, and troubleshoots Kubernetes ConfigMaps, including managing key-value pairs, mounting as volumes, and converting between YAML/JSON formats.'
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms, e.g., 'Use when the user mentions configmap, k8s config, kubectl create configmap, ConfigMap YAML, environment variables in Kubernetes, or mounting config data.'
Remove the duplicated trigger term ('kubernetes configmap handler' is listed twice) and replace with varied, natural phrases users would actually use.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description contains no concrete actions whatsoever. It only names the skill ('Kubernetes Configmap Handler') and states it's part of 'DevOps Advanced' but never describes what it actually does—no verbs like 'create', 'update', 'manage', 'parse', etc. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | Neither 'what does this do' nor 'when should Claude use it' is meaningfully answered. There is no 'Use when...' clause and no description of capabilities beyond the skill name itself. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The only trigger terms listed are 'kubernetes configmap handler' repeated twice. These are not natural phrases a user would say; users would more likely say 'configmap', 'k8s config', 'create configmap', 'edit configmap', 'kubectl configmap', etc. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The mention of 'Kubernetes Configmap' does narrow the domain to a specific Kubernetes resource type, which provides some distinctiveness. However, without concrete actions, it could still overlap with broader Kubernetes or DevOps 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 template/placeholder with no actual technical content. It repeatedly references 'kubernetes configmap handler' without ever providing concrete instructions, code examples, kubectl commands, or ConfigMap YAML manifests. It fails on every dimension because it contains no actionable information whatsoever.
Suggestions
Add concrete, executable examples: include actual ConfigMap YAML manifests, kubectl commands (e.g., `kubectl create configmap`, `kubectl get configmap -o yaml`), and examples of mounting ConfigMaps as volumes or environment variables.
Define a clear workflow with validation steps, e.g.: 1. Create ConfigMap YAML → 2. Apply with `kubectl apply` → 3. Verify with `kubectl describe configmap` → 4. Mount in pod spec → 5. Validate pod sees the config.
Remove all meta-description sections ('When to Use', 'Example Triggers', 'Capabilities') that describe the skill abstractly and replace them with actual technical guidance and patterns.
Add advanced patterns such as immutable ConfigMaps, ConfigMap rollout strategies, binary data handling, and common pitfalls (e.g., pod restart requirements after ConfigMap updates).
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely filler and meta-description. It explains what the skill does in abstract terms without providing any actual technical content. Every section restates the same vague idea ('kubernetes configmap handler') without adding substance. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is zero concrete guidance—no code, no commands, no examples of ConfigMap YAML, no kubectl commands, no actual steps for creating, updating, or managing ConfigMaps. It only describes rather than instructs. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined at all. There are no steps, no sequences, no validation checkpoints. The skill merely states it 'provides step-by-step guidance' without actually providing any. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | There is no meaningful content to organize, no references to supporting files, and no layered structure. The sections are superficial headers over repetitive placeholder text. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
