Activation

This description is critically deficient across all dimensions. It provides no information about what the skill actually does with package.json files, contains no natural trigger terms users would use, and lacks any explicit guidance on when Claude should select this skill. The description reads like auto-generated boilerplate rather than a functional skill description.

Suggestions

Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Manages package.json files: add/remove dependencies, update versions, configure scripts, modify project metadata.'

Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms: 'Use when the user mentions package.json, npm dependencies, node packages, adding libraries, or managing project scripts.'

Add file type and technology keywords users would naturally say: 'package.json', 'npm', 'yarn', 'dependencies', 'devDependencies', 'node_modules', 'scripts'.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description contains no concrete actions whatsoever. 'Package Json Manager' is just a name, not a description of capabilities. There's no indication of what this skill actually does with package.json files.

1 / 3

Completeness

Neither 'what does this do' nor 'when should Claude use it' is answered. The description only states it's auto-activating and part of DevOps Basics, with no functional information or explicit usage triggers.

1 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

The only trigger terms listed are 'package json manager' repeated twice, which is not a natural phrase users would say. Missing obvious terms like 'package.json', 'npm', 'dependencies', 'node modules', 'scripts', etc.

1 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Extremely generic - 'DevOps Basics' could overlap with many skills. Without specific actions or clear triggers, this could conflict with any npm, Node.js, or JavaScript project management skill.

Implementation

0%

This skill is a placeholder template with no actual content about package.json management. It contains only generic boilerplate text that could apply to any skill, with no executable code, specific commands, or actionable guidance. The skill fails to teach Claude anything about managing package.json files.

Suggestions

Add concrete code examples showing common package.json operations (adding dependencies, updating versions, running scripts)

Include specific npm/yarn commands with expected outputs (e.g., `npm init`, `npm install --save`, `npm version patch`)

Provide a workflow for common tasks like updating dependencies safely with validation steps

Replace generic capability descriptions with actual package.json structure examples and field explanations

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing specific about package.json management. Phrases like 'automated assistance' and '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 a package.json file.

1 / 3

Workflow Clarity

No workflow, steps, or process is defined. The content only lists vague capabilities without any sequence of actions or validation checkpoints.

1 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No structure beyond generic headings. No references to detailed documentation, no examples, and no clear organization of content for different use cases.
