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 concrete actions or capabilities, and provides no guidance on when Claude should select this skill over others. The description would be indistinguishable from any other RDS-related skill.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, such as 'Creates and configures RDS instances, sets up security groups, configures parameter groups, manages backups and snapshots'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'create database', 'set up RDS', 'AWS database instance', 'MySQL on AWS', 'PostgreSQL RDS'
Specify which database engines are supported (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.) and what configuration aspects are covered to distinguish from other AWS database skills
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only mentions 'rds instance setup' without describing any concrete actions. It doesn't explain what specific tasks are performed (e.g., configure security groups, set up parameter groups, create read replicas). | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the title and provides no explicit 'when to use' guidance. The 'Triggers on' section is just a repetition of the skill name, not meaningful trigger conditions. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant ('rds instance setup' listed twice) and miss natural variations users might say like 'create database', 'set up RDS', 'AWS database', 'MySQL/PostgreSQL instance', or 'database server'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'RDS' is specific to AWS database services, the lack of detail about what aspects of RDS setup it handles could cause overlap with other AWS or database-related skills. The AWS Skills category mention provides some context. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is a placeholder template with no actual RDS setup content. It contains only meta-descriptions of what the skill claims to do without any concrete guidance, code examples, AWS CLI commands, or CloudFormation/Terraform templates. The content provides zero value for someone actually trying to set up an RDS instance.
Suggestions
Add concrete AWS CLI commands or CloudFormation/Terraform templates for creating RDS instances with common configurations (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.)
Include a clear workflow with steps: VPC/subnet setup, security group configuration, parameter group creation, instance launch, and connection verification
Add validation checkpoints such as verifying security group rules, testing connectivity, and checking instance status
Provide specific examples for common scenarios (single-AZ dev instance vs multi-AZ production with read replicas)
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely boilerplate with no actual RDS-specific information. It explains what the skill does in abstract terms without providing any concrete guidance, wasting tokens on meta-description rather than actionable content. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | No concrete code, commands, or specific instructions are provided. Claims like 'provides step-by-step guidance' and 'generates production-ready code' are not backed by any actual examples or executable content. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. RDS instance setup involves multiple steps (VPC configuration, security groups, parameter groups, instance creation, etc.) but none are mentioned or sequenced. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | No structure beyond generic headings. No references to detailed documentation, no examples, and no organization of content by complexity or use case. | 1 / 3 |
