Validation for skill structure
Activation
7%This description is severely underdeveloped, consisting only of the skill name, redundant trigger terms, and a category label. It fails to explain what PCI DSS validation involves, what specific actions the skill performs, or when Claude should select it. Users searching for payment card compliance help would likely not trigger this skill effectively.
Suggestions
Add specific capabilities such as 'Validates configurations against PCI DSS requirements, checks for compliance gaps, reviews cardholder data handling practices'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'PCI compliance', 'payment card security', 'credit card data protection', 'cardholder data environment'
Remove the redundant trigger term and replace with varied user language patterns like 'PCI audit', 'payment security review', 'compliance assessment'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description contains no concrete actions - only the skill name repeated and a category label. 'Validator' implies some action but nothing specific is described about what validation entails or what capabilities exist. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | Neither 'what does this do' nor 'when should Claude use it' is answered. There is no explanation of validation capabilities and no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The only trigger terms listed are 'pci dss validator' repeated twice. Missing natural user language like 'payment card', 'compliance check', 'credit card security', 'cardholder data', or 'PCI compliance'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The PCI DSS domain is fairly specific and unlikely to conflict with many other skills. However, the lack of detail means it could overlap with other security or compliance-related skills without clear differentiation. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is essentially a placeholder with no actual content. It describes what a PCI DSS validator skill might do but provides zero actionable guidance on PCI DSS compliance validation. A proper skill would include specific PCI DSS requirements to check, validation commands/scripts, compliance checklists, and clear workflows for assessment.
Suggestions
Add specific PCI DSS requirements (e.g., Requirement 1-12) with concrete validation checks for each
Include executable code or commands for common validation tasks (e.g., checking encryption, access controls, logging configurations)
Create a clear workflow: 1) Scope assessment 2) Run specific checks 3) Document findings 4) Generate compliance report
Add references to detailed requirement-specific validation guides (e.g., NETWORK_SECURITY.md, ENCRYPTION.md, ACCESS_CONTROL.md)
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing Claude doesn't already know. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' are meaningless filler with zero actionable information. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is no concrete guidance whatsoever - no code, no commands, no specific PCI DSS requirements, no validation steps. The skill describes what it claims to do rather than instructing how to do anything. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. For a PCI DSS validator, there should be clear steps for what to check, how to validate compliance, and how to report findings. None of this exists. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of vague descriptions with no structure for actual PCI DSS validation content. No references to detailed materials, requirement checklists, or validation procedures. | 1 / 3 |
