Validation for skill structure
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 severely underdeveloped, essentially serving as a placeholder rather than a functional skill description. It lacks any concrete actions, meaningful trigger terms, or guidance on when to use the skill. The repetitive trigger terms and boilerplate category information provide no value for skill selection.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Generates SQL migration files for schema changes including CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE, and index modifications'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'database migration', 'schema change', 'alter table', 'add column', 'create migration file'
Specify the context or frameworks supported (e.g., 'for PostgreSQL/MySQL' or 'compatible with Rails, Django, or raw SQL') to improve distinctiveness
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only states 'Sql Migration Generator' without describing any concrete actions. It doesn't explain what the skill actually does - no verbs like 'generates', 'creates', 'validates', or specific capabilities are mentioned. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer both 'what does this do' and 'when should Claude use it'. There's no explanation of capabilities and no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent guidance for when to select this skill. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The triggers listed are just 'sql migration generator' repeated twice. This misses natural variations users would say like 'database migration', 'schema change', 'alter table', 'create migration', 'db schema', or 'migration file'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'SQL migration' is a somewhat specific domain, the lack of detail about what kind of migrations (schema changes, data migrations, rollbacks) or which databases/frameworks could cause overlap with general database or backend skills. | 2 / 3 |

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 essentially a placeholder with no actionable content. It describes what the skill should do in abstract terms but provides zero concrete guidance on SQL migration generation—no code examples, no migration syntax, no workflow steps, no tool-specific commands. Claude would gain nothing from this skill that it doesn't already know.
Suggestions
Add concrete, executable examples showing how to generate migrations for at least one framework (e.g., Alembic for Python, Knex for Node.js, or golang-migrate for Go)
Define a clear workflow: 1) Generate migration file, 2) Write up/down SQL, 3) Validate syntax, 4) Test migration, 5) Apply to database
Include example migration file templates with proper naming conventions and structure
Add validation checkpoints such as 'run migration in dry-run mode' or 'verify rollback works before committing'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is padded with generic boilerplate that explains nothing specific about SQL migrations. Phrases like 'provides automated assistance' and 'follows industry best practices' are filler that waste tokens without adding value. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | No concrete code, commands, or specific guidance is provided. The skill describes what it does abstractly ('generates production-ready code') but never shows how to actually generate a SQL migration or what the output looks like. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. There are no steps for creating migrations, no validation checkpoints, and no guidance on migration ordering, rollbacks, or testing. The content is purely descriptive metadata. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a flat, monolithic description with no structure for discovery. There are no references to detailed documentation, examples, or related files that would help Claude understand SQL migration patterns. | 1 / 3 |
Total | 4 / 12 Passed |
Validation
81%Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
