7%This description is essentially a placeholder with no substantive content. It only states the skill name and category without describing any capabilities, use cases, or meaningful trigger terms. Claude would have no basis to select this skill appropriately from a list of alternatives.
Suggestions
Add specific capabilities like 'Create, rotate, and retrieve Kubernetes secrets. Manage sensitive configuration data, API keys, and credentials in K8s clusters.'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms: 'Use when working with k8s secrets, storing credentials in Kubernetes, managing sensitive config data, or when user mentions secret rotation or env vars.'
Add common variations of trigger terms users would naturally say: 'k8s', 'secrets', 'credentials', 'API keys', 'sensitive data', 'environment variables', 'secret rotation'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description contains no concrete actions - only the skill name and trigger phrases. It doesn't describe what the skill actually does (e.g., create, rotate, encrypt, retrieve secrets). | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | Missing both 'what does this do' (no capabilities listed) and 'when should Claude use it' (no explicit use-case guidance). The 'Triggers on' line is just the skill name, not meaningful trigger guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are just the skill name repeated ('kubernetes secrets manager') with no natural variations users would say like 'k8s secrets', 'secret management', 'store credentials', 'env vars', or 'sensitive data'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The term 'Kubernetes Secrets Manager' is somewhat specific to a domain, but without describing actual capabilities, it could conflict with general Kubernetes skills or other secret management tools. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
7%This skill is essentially a placeholder with no actionable content. It describes what a Kubernetes secrets manager skill would do but provides zero concrete guidance, commands, or examples. For a security-sensitive topic like secrets management, the complete absence of specific practices, validation steps, and executable examples makes this skill unusable.
Suggestions
Add concrete kubectl commands for creating and managing secrets (e.g., `kubectl create secret generic`, `kubectl get secrets -o yaml`)
Include YAML examples for Secret manifests with proper encoding and security annotations
Add a workflow with validation steps for secrets rotation and verification (critical for security operations)
Provide specific guidance on encryption at rest, RBAC for secrets access, and integration with external secret managers like Vault or AWS Secrets Manager
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing specific about Kubernetes secrets management. 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 specific guidance is provided. The skill describes what it does in abstract terms but never shows how to actually manage Kubernetes secrets (no kubectl commands, no YAML examples, no encryption patterns). | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. There are no steps for creating, rotating, or managing secrets. No validation checkpoints for security-sensitive operations that absolutely require them. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is organized into sections with clear headers, but there's no actual content to disclose. No references to detailed documentation or examples that would provide depth. | 2 / 3 |
