22%This description is essentially a placeholder that provides minimal information beyond the skill name. It lacks concrete actions, meaningful trigger terms, and explicit usage guidance. The repeated trigger term 'sqs queue setup' suggests auto-generated content without human refinement.
Suggestions
Add specific actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates and configures AWS SQS queues, sets up dead-letter queues, manages queue policies and permissions, configures message retention and visibility timeout.'
Add a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'Use when the user needs to create message queues, set up SQS, configure queue settings, or work with AWS messaging infrastructure.'
Include common variations users might say: 'AWS SQS', 'Simple Queue Service', 'message queue', 'FIFO queue', 'standard queue'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only mentions 'sqs queue setup' without describing any concrete actions. It doesn't explain what specific operations are performed (e.g., create queues, configure dead-letter queues, set permissions). | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the name, and has no explicit 'Use when...' clause. The trigger terms are just the skill name repeated, providing no guidance on when to select this skill. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes 'sqs queue setup' which is somewhat relevant, but misses common variations users might say like 'message queue', 'AWS SQS', 'create queue', 'queue configuration', or 'Simple Queue Service'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'SQS' is specific to AWS messaging, the generic 'queue setup' could overlap with other queue-related skills (RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus). The lack of specific SQS features makes it harder to distinguish. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is entirely meta-content with no actual substance. It describes what a skill for SQS queue setup would do without providing any actual guidance, code, or instructions for setting up SQS queues. The content is 100% boilerplate that could apply to any skill topic.
Suggestions
Replace the entire content with actual SQS setup instructions: include AWS CLI commands (aws sqs create-queue), CloudFormation/CDK snippets, and SDK examples
Add concrete configuration examples showing queue attributes like visibility timeout, message retention, dead-letter queue setup, and encryption settings
Include a workflow for common SQS patterns: standard vs FIFO queues, DLQ configuration, IAM policy setup with validation steps
Provide specific examples of queue policies and access patterns rather than generic 'best practices' claims
| 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 zero actionable information. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | No concrete code, commands, or specific guidance is provided. The skill describes what it does in abstract terms but never shows how to actually set up an SQS queue - no AWS CLI commands, no CloudFormation templates, no SDK examples. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. Claims to provide 'step-by-step guidance' but contains zero actual steps. There are no sequences, no validation checkpoints, and no process to follow. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of meta-description with no structure pointing to actual implementation details. No references to related files, no organized sections with real content, just self-referential placeholder text. | 1 / 3 |
