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 essentially a title and category label with a duplicated trigger term, providing almost no useful information for skill selection. It lacks concrete actions, natural trigger keywords, and any explicit guidance on when to use the skill. It would be nearly indistinguishable from a generic API skill in a large skill library.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions such as 'Creates websocket client code for establishing connections, sending/receiving messages, handling reconnection, and managing event listeners'.
Add a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'Use when the user asks to connect to a websocket server, build a real-time client, handle ws:// or wss:// connections, or implement socket-based communication'.
Remove the duplicated trigger term and expand with varied natural keywords users might say, such as 'websocket', 'ws client', 'real-time connection', 'socket.io', 'streaming API'.
| 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 meaningful 'what does this do' beyond the title, and no 'when should Claude use it' clause. Both dimensions are essentially absent, making this description very weak on completeness. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are just the skill name repeated twice ('websocket client creator, websocket client creator'). It misses natural user phrases like 'websocket', 'ws connection', 'real-time communication', 'socket client', or 'connect to websocket server'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The term 'websocket client' is somewhat specific and narrows the domain compared to generic 'API' or 'networking' skills, but the lack of concrete actions or explicit triggers means it could still overlap with broader API integration or networking 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 an empty template with no substantive content. It contains no executable code, no concrete instructions, no WebSocket-specific guidance (e.g., connection lifecycle, reconnection strategies, message framing), and no references to libraries or tools. Every section is generic boilerplate that could apply to any topic by swapping the phrase 'websocket client creator.'
Suggestions
Add executable code examples showing WebSocket client creation using a specific library (e.g., Python's `websockets`, JavaScript's `ws`, or browser-native WebSocket API), including connection, sending/receiving messages, and error handling.
Define a clear workflow: 1) establish connection with URL/auth, 2) handle open/message/error/close events, 3) implement reconnection logic with backoff, 4) validate message schemas—with explicit validation checkpoints.
Remove all generic boilerplate sections ('When to Use', 'Example Triggers', 'Capabilities') and replace with concrete, actionable content such as authentication patterns (API keys, tokens), heartbeat/ping-pong handling, and production considerations (timeouts, connection pooling).
Include at least one complete, copy-paste-ready example of a WebSocket client with reconnection logic and message handling, rather than describing capabilities abstractly.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely filler and boilerplate. It explains nothing Claude doesn't already know, contains no technical substance, and every section restates the same vague idea ('websocket client creator') without adding value. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | There is zero concrete guidance—no code, no commands, no WebSocket library references, no connection examples, no message handling patterns. It describes rather than instructs, offering only vague platitudes like 'provides step-by-step guidance' without actually providing any. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow, sequence, or steps are defined. There are no validation checkpoints, no error handling guidance, and no process to follow for creating a WebSocket client. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of placeholder text with no references to supporting files, no structured navigation, and no meaningful organization of content across sections. | 1 / 3 |
