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 extremely weak—it is essentially a skill title and category label with a duplicated trigger term, providing no concrete actions, no usage guidance, and no meaningful trigger keywords. It would be nearly indistinguishable from other API-related skills in a large skill library and gives Claude insufficient information to select it appropriately.
Suggestions
Add concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates websocket client code that establishes connections, sends/receives messages, handles reconnection, and manages error states.'
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms, e.g., 'Use when the user asks to create a websocket client, establish a ws/wss connection, build real-time communication, or implement socket-based messaging.'
Remove the duplicated trigger term and expand with natural keyword variations users would actually say, such as 'websocket', 'ws', 'wss', 'socket connection', 'real-time client', 'persistent connection'.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names the skill ('Websocket Client Creator') and its category ('API Integration') but lists no concrete actions like 'establish connections', 'handle messages', 'manage reconnection logic', etc. It is essentially a title repeated, not a capability description. | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | There is no explanation of what the skill does beyond its name, and no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent guidance on when Claude should select it. Both 'what' and 'when' are essentially missing. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The only trigger terms listed are 'websocket client creator' repeated twice. It misses natural user phrases like 'websocket', 'ws connection', 'real-time communication', 'socket client', or 'wss'. The duplication adds no value. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The term 'websocket client creator' is somewhat niche and unlikely to conflict with many other skills, but the vague 'API Integration' category label could overlap with numerous API-related skills. The lack of specific triggers weakens distinctiveness. | 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 an empty shell with no actual content. It consists entirely of auto-generated boilerplate that describes what a skill would do without providing any technical guidance, code examples, or actionable instructions for creating websocket clients. It fails on every dimension of the rubric.
Suggestions
Add executable code examples showing how to create a websocket client (e.g., using Python's `websockets` library or JavaScript's `ws` package) with connection, message handling, and error recovery patterns.
Define a clear workflow: 1) establish connection with URL/auth, 2) implement message handlers, 3) add reconnection logic, 4) validate the connection works — with specific code for each step.
Remove all meta-description sections ('When to Use', 'Example Triggers', 'Capabilities') and replace with actual technical content covering authentication, message serialization, heartbeat/ping-pong, and error handling.
Add concrete examples of common websocket patterns (e.g., subscribing to channels, handling binary data, implementing backoff retry) with copy-paste ready code.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely filler and boilerplate. It explains nothing Claude doesn't already know, repeats 'websocket client creator' excessively, and contains zero technical substance. Every token is wasted. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is no concrete code, no executable commands, no specific examples, and no actual guidance on how to create a websocket client. The content only describes what the skill claims to do without providing any actionable instructions. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow, steps, or process is defined. The skill mentions 'step-by-step guidance' as a capability but never provides any steps. There are no validation checkpoints or sequences of any kind. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a flat, monolithic block of meta-description with no references to detailed materials, no links to examples or advanced guides, and no meaningful structural organization beyond generic headings. | 1 / 3 |
