Validation for skill structure
Activation
7%This description is severely underdeveloped, essentially just restating the skill name without explaining what creating a Lambda layer involves or when users would need this capability. It lacks concrete actions (e.g., packaging dependencies, managing layer versions), meaningful trigger terms, and explicit usage guidance.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, such as 'Packages Python/Node.js dependencies into Lambda layers, manages layer versions, and configures layer permissions'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'package dependencies for Lambda', 'create shared code layer', 'reduce Lambda deployment size', or 'reuse code across functions'
Remove the duplicate trigger term and add variations users might naturally say, including file extensions or dependency managers (pip, npm, requirements.txt, package.json)
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names the skill ('Lambda Layer Creator') without describing any concrete actions. There's no explanation of what creating a lambda layer involves or what specific operations the skill performs. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the name itself, and the 'when' guidance is just a repetition of the skill name rather than meaningful trigger scenarios or use cases. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant ('lambda layer creator' listed twice) and overly specific. Missing natural variations users might say like 'create layer', 'package dependencies', 'lambda dependencies', or 'layer for lambda function'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The AWS Lambda Layer focus is somewhat specific and unlikely to conflict with general document or code skills, but could overlap with other AWS-related skills. The lack of detail makes it harder to distinguish from broader AWS deployment skills. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is essentially a placeholder with no actual instructional content. It describes what a Lambda Layer Creator skill would do without providing any concrete guidance, code examples, or workflows for actually creating Lambda layers. The entire content is self-referential boilerplate that would provide no value to Claude when attempting to help users with Lambda layers.
Suggestions
Add executable code showing how to package dependencies for a Lambda layer (e.g., creating the proper directory structure like `python/lib/python3.x/site-packages/`)
Include the actual AWS CLI commands or boto3 code for creating and publishing a Lambda layer
Provide a clear workflow: 1) Install dependencies locally, 2) Package in correct structure, 3) Create layer via CLI/SDK, 4) Attach to Lambda function
Remove all meta-description content ('This skill provides...', 'Capabilities include...') and replace with actual technical instructions
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that provides no actual value. Phrases like 'automated assistance for lambda layer creator tasks' and 'Follows industry best practices' are meaningless filler that Claude doesn't need. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is zero concrete guidance on how to actually create a Lambda layer. No code, no commands, no specific steps - just vague descriptions like 'Provides step-by-step guidance' without actually providing any. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined at all. Creating Lambda layers involves specific steps (packaging dependencies, uploading, configuring) but none are mentioned. The skill describes what it claims to do rather than how to do it. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of meta-description with no actual technical content to organize. There are no references to detailed materials, examples, or related documentation. | 1 / 3 |
