22%This description is severely underdeveloped, functioning more as a label than a useful skill description. It fails to explain what the skill actually does (no concrete actions) and provides no guidance on when Claude should use it beyond the repeated trigger phrase. The description would be nearly useless for Claude to make informed skill selection decisions among multiple options.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates Prefect flows, defines task dependencies, configures schedules, and sets up deployment configurations'
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with trigger scenarios, e.g., 'Use when the user asks about Prefect workflows, data pipeline orchestration, task scheduling, or mentions @flow/@task decorators'
Expand trigger terms to include natural variations users might say: 'prefect', 'workflow orchestration', 'ETL pipeline', 'data workflow', 'task dependencies'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description contains no concrete actions - only 'Auto-activating skill for Data Pipelines' which is vague and abstract. No specific capabilities like 'create flows', 'schedule tasks', or 'define dependencies' are mentioned. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The 'what' is essentially missing - we only know it relates to Data Pipelines but not what it actually does. There is no explicit 'Use when...' clause explaining when Claude should select this skill. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Contains 'prefect flow builder' as a trigger term (duplicated), which is a relevant keyword users might say. However, it misses common variations like 'prefect', 'data pipeline', 'workflow', 'ETL', 'orchestration', or 'DAG'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | 'Prefect Flow Builder' is somewhat specific to the Prefect framework, but 'Data Pipelines' is generic and could overlap with other pipeline/ETL/workflow skills. The lack of specific capabilities makes it harder to distinguish. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is an empty template that provides no actual guidance on building Prefect flows. It contains only generic placeholder text describing what a skill should do, without any concrete code examples, workflow steps, or Prefect-specific information. The content fails to teach Claude anything actionable about the Prefect framework.
Suggestions
Add executable Python code examples showing how to create a basic Prefect flow with @flow and @task decorators
Include a concrete workflow sequence: define tasks → compose flow → configure deployment → run/monitor
Provide specific Prefect patterns like error handling with retries, parameter passing, and result caching
Reference Prefect-specific resources or link to detailed documentation files for advanced topics like deployments, work pools, and scheduling
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing specific about Prefect flows. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows 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 abstractly but never shows how to actually build a Prefect flow or provides any executable examples. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow steps are defined. The content mentions 'step-by-step guidance' but provides none. There are no sequences, validation checkpoints, or actual process instructions. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a flat, generic template with no meaningful structure. There are no references to detailed documentation, examples, or related files that would help Claude learn about Prefect flows. | 1 / 3 |
