Discovery
0%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 that repeats the skill name without providing any substantive information about what the skill does or when it should be used. It lacks concrete actions, meaningful trigger terms, and explicit usage guidance, making it nearly impossible for Claude to correctly select this skill from a pool of available skills.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Captures response times, throughput, and error rates to establish performance baselines for applications and APIs.'
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms, e.g., 'Use when the user asks about creating performance baselines, benchmarking application speed, establishing latency thresholds, or measuring baseline throughput.'
Replace the duplicated trigger term with diverse natural keywords users would say, such as 'benchmark', 'baseline metrics', 'load test baseline', 'performance measurement', 'response time baseline'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description names a domain ('Performance Testing') and a label ('Performance Baseline Creator') but does not describe any concrete actions. There are no specific capabilities listed such as 'measures response times', 'generates baseline reports', or 'compares metrics'. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the name itself, and there is no explicit 'when should Claude use it' clause. The 'Triggers on' line just repeats the skill name rather than providing meaningful trigger guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The only trigger terms listed are 'performance baseline creator' repeated twice. There are no natural user keywords like 'benchmark', 'load test', 'response time', 'throughput', 'latency', or 'baseline metrics' that a user would naturally say. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The description is too vague to distinguish this skill from other performance-related skills. 'Performance Testing skill category' and 'Performance Baseline Creator' provide no clear niche or distinct triggers that would prevent conflicts with other performance or testing skills. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 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 with no actual instructional content. It repeatedly restates the skill name across sections without providing any concrete guidance on how to create performance baselines—no code, no tools, no workflows, no examples. It fails on every dimension of the rubric.
Suggestions
Add concrete, executable code examples for creating performance baselines (e.g., k6 scripts for establishing baseline metrics, JMeter test plan configurations).
Define a clear multi-step workflow: identify metrics → configure test environment → run baseline tests → record results → validate against thresholds, with explicit validation checkpoints.
Remove all boilerplate sections (Purpose, When to Use, Example Triggers) that just restate the skill name, and replace with actionable content like specific metric definitions, tool commands, and output formats.
Add references to detailed guides for specific tools (e.g., 'See [K6_BASELINE.md](K6_BASELINE.md) for k6-specific baseline scripts') to support progressive disclosure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely filler and boilerplate. It explains nothing Claude doesn't already know and provides zero domain-specific information about performance baseline creation. Every section restates the skill name without adding substance. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There are no concrete steps, code examples, commands, or specific guidance. The content only vaguely describes what the skill could do ('provides step-by-step guidance') without actually providing any guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined at all. There are no steps, no sequence, no validation checkpoints—just abstract claims about capabilities like 'generates production-ready code' with no actual process described. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a flat, shallow document with no references to detailed materials, no linked resources, and no structured navigation. It mentions related skills and tags but provides no actionable links or content hierarchy. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
Validation
81%Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
