Validation for skill structure
Activation
7%This description is severely underdeveloped, essentially just naming the skill without explaining its capabilities or use cases. It lacks any concrete actions, meaningful trigger terms, or guidance on when to use it. The redundant trigger terms and absence of DNS-related keywords make it unlikely to be selected appropriately.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates, updates, and deletes DNS records in AWS Route53 hosted zones. Manages A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, and TXT records.'
Include natural trigger terms users would say: 'DNS records', 'domain configuration', 'hosted zone', 'A record', 'CNAME', 'DNS management', 'domain routing'
Add explicit 'Use when...' clause: 'Use when the user needs to manage DNS records, configure domain routing, or work with AWS Route53 hosted zones.'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names the tool ('Route53 Record Manager') without describing any concrete actions. There are no verbs indicating what the skill actually does - no mention of creating, updating, deleting, or querying DNS records. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond naming itself, and provides no 'when should Claude use it' guidance. The 'Triggers on' section just repeats the skill name rather than describing use cases. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant ('route53 record manager' listed twice) and overly specific. Missing natural user terms like 'DNS', 'domain records', 'A record', 'CNAME', 'hosted zone', or 'DNS management' that users would actually say. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'Route53' is specific to AWS DNS service, the lack of detail about capabilities means it could conflict with other AWS skills. The mention of 'AWS Skills skill category' provides some context but doesn't clarify boundaries. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is essentially a placeholder template with no actual Route53 content. It contains only generic meta-descriptions about what the skill claims to do without providing any concrete guidance on managing Route53 records. The skill fails to teach Claude anything about AWS Route53 DNS management.
Suggestions
Add concrete AWS CLI commands for common Route53 operations (e.g., `aws route53 change-resource-record-sets` with actual JSON payloads)
Include specific examples for different record types (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, alias records) with copy-paste ready configurations
Define a clear workflow for DNS changes including validation steps (e.g., verify propagation with `aws route53 get-change --id <change-id>`)
Add guidance on routing policies (simple, weighted, latency, failover, geolocation) with concrete use cases and configurations
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing Claude doesn't already know. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' are meaningless filler with no actual Route53-specific information. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is zero concrete guidance - no code, no commands, no specific Route53 record types, no AWS CLI examples, no API calls. The skill describes what it claims to do rather than providing any executable instructions. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined at all. Managing Route53 records involves specific steps (creating hosted zones, adding records, configuring TTLs, etc.) but none are mentioned. No validation or verification steps for DNS changes. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of vague descriptions with no structure for actual learning. No references to detailed documentation, no links to examples, and no organization of Route53 concepts (record types, routing policies, health checks, etc.). | 1 / 3 |
