Activation
7%This description is essentially a placeholder that provides almost no useful information for skill selection. It repeats the skill name as trigger terms, lacks any description of actual capabilities, and provides no guidance on when Claude should select this skill. The description would be indistinguishable from any other Prometheus-related skill.
Suggestions
Add specific capabilities: describe what the skill actually does (e.g., 'Generates prometheus.yml configurations including scrape configs, alerting rules, and recording rules')
Add a proper 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'prometheus config', 'scrape targets', 'alertmanager setup', 'monitoring configuration', '.yml for prometheus'
Remove the redundant trigger term and replace with varied, natural phrases users would actually say when needing this skill
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names the tool ('Prometheus Config Generator') without describing any concrete actions. There are no specific capabilities listed like 'generates alerting rules', 'creates scrape configs', or 'configures targets'. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the name, and the 'when' clause is just a repetition of the skill name rather than meaningful trigger guidance. No explicit 'Use when...' clause with actionable triggers. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant (same phrase repeated twice) and overly specific. Missing natural variations users would say like 'prometheus.yml', 'scrape config', 'alertmanager', 'monitoring setup', or 'metrics configuration'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The mention of 'Prometheus' provides some specificity that distinguishes it from generic config generators, but the lack of detail about what aspects of Prometheus configuration it handles could cause overlap with other monitoring or DevOps skills. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is entirely meta-content describing what the skill supposedly does rather than providing any actual guidance for Prometheus configuration generation. It contains no executable code, no configuration examples, no specific scrape configs, alerting rules, or any actionable content. This is a placeholder template that provides zero value for the stated purpose.
Suggestions
Add concrete Prometheus configuration YAML examples showing scrape_configs, alerting rules, and recording rules
Include a step-by-step workflow for generating configs: define targets → configure scrape intervals → add relabeling → validate with promtool
Provide executable validation commands (e.g., `promtool check config prometheus.yml`) with expected outputs
Remove all meta-description content ('This skill provides...', 'When to Use...') and replace with actual configuration patterns and examples
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that provides no actual value. 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 Prometheus configuration examples, no YAML snippets, no specific commands. The skill describes what it does rather than instructing how to do anything. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. Claims to provide 'step-by-step guidance' but contains no actual steps. There are no validation checkpoints or sequences for generating Prometheus configs. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of meta-description with no useful structure. No references to detailed materials, examples, or related documentation that would help with actual Prometheus configuration. | 1 / 3 |
