Discovery
7%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 provides almost no useful information for skill selection. It lacks concrete actions, meaningful trigger terms, and explicit guidance on when to use it. The redundant trigger terms and category boilerplate add no value for Claude's skill selection process.
Suggestions
Add specific capabilities: 'Generates Prometheus configuration files including scrape configs, alerting rules, recording rules, and target definitions'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms: 'Use when the user mentions prometheus.yml, scrape configs, alertmanager setup, metrics collection, or monitoring configuration'
Remove redundant trigger terms and add variations users would naturally say: 'prometheus config', 'prom config', 'monitoring setup', 'scrape targets', 'alert rules'
| 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 ('prometheus config generator' listed 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 'DevOps Advanced' category is vague and could overlap with other monitoring or infrastructure skills. | 2 / 3 |
Total | 5 / 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 placeholder that provides no actual Prometheus configuration knowledge. It consists entirely of generic meta-descriptions and trigger phrases without any concrete configuration examples, YAML templates, or actionable guidance for generating Prometheus configs.
Suggestions
Add concrete prometheus.yml configuration examples showing scrape_configs, static_configs, and relabel_configs with executable YAML
Include specific alerting rule examples and recording rule patterns that can be copy-pasted
Provide a clear workflow: 1) Define targets, 2) Configure scrape intervals, 3) Add alerting rules, 4) Validate with promtool check config
Add references to separate files for advanced topics like service discovery, federation, and remote write configurations
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that provides no actual value. It explains what the skill does in abstract terms without any concrete Prometheus configuration knowledge, wasting tokens on meta-descriptions Claude doesn't need. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is zero executable guidance - no Prometheus configuration examples, no YAML snippets, no specific commands, no scrape configs, no alerting rules. The content only describes what it claims to do without actually doing it. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. Claims to provide 'step-by-step guidance' but contains no actual steps. A Prometheus config skill should show how to structure prometheus.yml, add targets, configure alertmanager, etc. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a flat, uninformative document with no structure for learning. No references to detailed configuration guides, no links to examples, no organization of basic vs advanced Prometheus features. | 1 / 3 |
