Validation for skill structure
Activation
7%This description is severely underdeveloped, essentially just restating the skill name without explaining capabilities or usage triggers. It provides no actionable information for Claude to determine when to select this skill over others. The redundant trigger terms and lack of concrete actions make this description ineffective for skill selection.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill performs, such as 'Creates VPC networks, configures subnets, sets up firewall rules, establishes VPC peering, and manages routes in Google Cloud Platform'
Include a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'Use when the user needs to create or configure Google Cloud networking, mentions VPC, subnets, firewall rules, or GCP network infrastructure'
Add common user phrasings and file/resource types: 'GCP networking', 'Google Cloud VPC', 'cloud firewall', 'private network', 'subnet configuration'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only mentions 'vpc network setup' without describing any concrete actions. It doesn't explain what specific tasks this skill performs (e.g., creating subnets, configuring firewall rules, setting up routes). | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the name itself, and provides no explicit 'when to use' guidance. The 'Triggers on' section just repeats the skill name rather than providing meaningful trigger scenarios. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant ('vpc network setup' listed twice) and use technical jargon. Missing natural variations users might say like 'create VPC', 'network configuration', 'Google Cloud networking', 'subnets', or 'firewall rules'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'VPC' and 'GCP' provide some specificity to Google Cloud Platform networking, the description is vague enough that it could conflict with other networking or cloud infrastructure skills. The GCP context helps somewhat with distinctiveness. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill is an empty template with no actual VPC network setup content. It describes what a skill should do without providing any concrete guidance, code examples, or workflows. The content would need to be completely rewritten with actual GCP VPC configuration instructions to be useful.
Suggestions
Add concrete gcloud commands or Terraform examples for creating VPC networks, subnets, and firewall rules
Define a clear workflow sequence: 1) Create VPC, 2) Create subnets, 3) Configure firewall rules, 4) Validate connectivity - with specific commands for each step
Include validation checkpoints such as 'gcloud compute networks describe' to verify network creation before proceeding
Remove all meta-description content ('This skill provides...', 'Capabilities include...') and replace with actual technical instructions
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely boilerplate with no actual VPC network setup 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. Phrases like 'provides step-by-step guidance' and 'generates production-ready code' describe capabilities without demonstrating them. There are no gcloud commands, Terraform examples, or actual VPC configuration details. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. VPC setup involves multiple steps (creating networks, subnets, firewall rules, routes) but none are mentioned. No validation checkpoints or sequence of operations are provided. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic placeholder with no structure for actual learning. No references to detailed documentation, examples, or related files. The sections present are meta-descriptions rather than organized technical content. | 1 / 3 |
