Validation for skill structure
Activation
7%This description is essentially a placeholder that provides almost no useful information for skill selection. It repeats the skill name as triggers, lacks any concrete actions or capabilities, and provides no guidance on when Claude should select this skill over others. The description needs a complete rewrite to be functional.
Suggestions
Add specific concrete actions the skill performs, e.g., 'Creates websocket connection handlers, implements message routing, manages client sessions, handles authentication and heartbeat mechanisms'
Add a 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms like 'websocket', 'ws', 'real-time', 'bidirectional', 'socket connection', 'live updates', 'push notifications'
Remove the redundant duplicate trigger term and replace with varied natural language users would actually use when requesting websocket functionality
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description only names the domain 'websocket handler setup' without describing any concrete actions. It doesn't explain what specific tasks it performs (e.g., 'create connection handlers', 'implement message routing', 'handle authentication'). | 1 / 3 |
Completeness | The description fails to answer 'what does this do' beyond the title, and the 'when' clause is just a repetition of the skill name rather than meaningful trigger guidance. No explicit 'Use when...' clause is present. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | The trigger terms are redundant ('websocket handler setup' repeated twice) and miss natural variations users might say like 'websocket', 'ws', 'real-time connection', 'socket server', or 'bidirectional communication'. | 1 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | While 'websocket' is somewhat specific to a technology, the lack of detail about what aspects of websocket handling it covers could cause overlap with general backend skills or API development skills. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
0%This skill content is essentially a placeholder template with no actual technical value. It describes what the skill should do without providing any concrete websocket handler implementation guidance, code examples, or actionable steps. Claude already knows what websockets are and doesn't need trigger phrase examples - it needs specific implementation patterns, code, and validation steps.
Suggestions
Add concrete, executable code examples for websocket handler setup in at least one language (Node.js, Python, or Go) with proper connection handling, message parsing, and error handling
Define a clear workflow with numbered steps: setup server, define handlers, implement connection lifecycle (open/message/close/error), add authentication, and validate with test client
Include specific library recommendations with installation commands (e.g., 'ws' for Node.js, 'websockets' for Python) and minimal working examples
Remove all meta-description content ('This skill activates when...', 'Example Triggers') and replace with actual technical guidance that Claude doesn't already know
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is entirely filler with no actual technical substance. It explains what the skill does in abstract terms without providing any concrete websocket implementation details, wasting tokens on meta-description rather than actionable content. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | No concrete code, commands, or specific guidance is provided. The content describes capabilities abstractly ('provides step-by-step guidance') without actually providing any steps, code examples, or executable instructions for websocket handler setup. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | No workflow is defined. Despite claiming to provide 'step-by-step guidance,' there are no actual steps, no sequence of operations, and no validation checkpoints for setting up websocket handlers. | 1 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is a monolithic block of meta-description with no structure pointing to detailed materials. There are no references to implementation guides, examples, or API documentation that would be expected for a websocket setup skill. | 1 / 3 |
