Activation
7%This description is severely underdeveloped, essentially just restating the skill name without explaining what it actually does or when to use it. The duplicate trigger terms and lack of concrete actions make it nearly useless for skill selection among multiple options. It reads more like a placeholder than a functional skill description.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Captures initial performance metrics, measures response times, records throughput rates, and generates baseline reports for comparison'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'establish baseline', 'benchmark performance', 'initial performance metrics', 'before optimization', or 'performance comparison baseline'
Remove the duplicate trigger term and expand with varied natural language users would actually say when needing this capability
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only states 'Performance Baseline Creator' without describing any concrete actions. There are no specific capabilities listed like 'measures response times', 'captures metrics', or 'generates baseline reports'. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the name itself, and provides no 'when should Claude use it' guidance. There is no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundantly listed as 'performance baseline creator, performance baseline creator' (duplicated). Missing natural user terms like 'benchmark', 'baseline metrics', 'performance testing', 'load testing baseline', or 'establish baseline'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'Performance Baseline Creator' is somewhat specific to performance testing, it could overlap with other performance-related skills. The phrase 'Part of the Performance Testing skill category' suggests potential conflicts with sibling skills in that category. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill content is essentially a placeholder template with no actual instructional value. It describes what a skill should do rather than providing any concrete guidance on creating performance baselines. The content fails on all dimensions by being verbose yet empty, completely lacking actionable steps, code examples, or any specific information about performance baseline creation.
Suggestions
Add executable code examples showing how to collect baseline metrics using k6 or JMeter (e.g., a complete test script with metric collection)
Define a clear workflow: 1) Identify metrics to baseline, 2) Run baseline tests, 3) Store results, 4) Compare future runs against baseline with specific thresholds
Include concrete examples of baseline output formats (JSON schema, CSV structure) and threshold definitions
Remove all generic boilerplate ('provides automated assistance', 'follows best practices') and replace with specific, actionable content
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that provides no actual information. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' are meaningless filler that Claude doesn't need. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is zero concrete guidance - no code, no commands, no specific steps, no examples of what a performance baseline actually looks like or how to create one. The content only describes what the skill claims to do without actually doing it. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is provided whatsoever. For a task like creating performance baselines, there should be clear steps for collecting metrics, establishing thresholds, storing results, and comparing against baselines - none of which are present. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of vague descriptions with no structure for actual learning. There are no references to detailed materials, no examples section, and no clear organization of concepts. | 1 / 3 |
